But can Aladdin’s gameplay live up to its great presentation? Let’s find out!
Duck Tales (NES 1989) + Duck Tales: Remastered Review
Duck Tales! WooOoohoo! A video game by Capcom featuring probably my all time favorite Disney character, gazillionaire Scrooge McDuck. Licensed games tend to be bad but I played Duck Tales a lot as a kid and liked it a lot so I played it again along with the new remastered version on the Wii U. Let’s see if the old one holds up and if the new one does it justice!
