DuckTales (NES) | The beginning of the Disney-Capcom era

Today I'm looking at DuckTales! It's got an interesting history, from the creation of the Scrooge McDuck character, to a partnership between Disney and Capcom, similarities to Mega Man and changes made by Disney producers. Here's some history of the game along with my thoughts on how it plays.

DuckTales was played on a Retron5 and recorded on a AVerMedia Live Gamer Portable 2 Plus. DuckTales prototype was played and recorded on emulator. All music comes from the game soundtrack (plus a track from Mega Man and Mickey Mousecapade).
