All of the visuals from the 8-bit game have been beautifully re-created as hand-drawn and animated sprites, across a backdrop of luscious, re-envisioned level backgrounds. Furthermore, original Disney Character Voices talent, including some from the cartoon TV series, bring in-game characters to life with charm and wit, while the classic melodies of the original soundtrack are given a modern twist.

DuckTales: Remastered is now available for PlayStation Network, Xbox LIVE Arcade and Steam and can be purchased for $14.99 or 1200 Microsoft Points. DuckTales: Remastered is rated E by the ESRB for Mild Cartoon Violence. For more information on DuckTales: Remastered, check out the official Capcom website.
