DuckTales combined Disney charm with Capcom's platforming expertise, sending Scrooge McDuck pogo-jumping through non-linear stages in search of treasure.
A licensed game that was actually great. DuckTales proved Disney properties could produce excellent gameplay when paired with capable developers. Capcom crafted tight controls around Scrooge McDuck’s cane-bouncing pogo attack, while non-linear stage selection and hidden treasures encouraged exploration. The Moon theme became one of gaming’s most beloved compositions.
