In the same vein as Ducktales Remastered
Oh what could have been.
Following in the footsteps ofDuckTales Remastered, Simon Thomley over at Headcannon decided to pitch Capcom aDarkwing Duckgame. While the video game arm of the series has been dormant for some time Capcom has acknowledged its existence in theDisney Afternoon Collection, plus the character lives on in another incarnation in Disney’s newDuckTalesseries: so there’s an opportunity there.
It evidentlywas going to take place between the TV show and the comic book continuationThe Duck Knight Returns. Aaron Sparrow and James Silvani ofDarkwingcomic fame were even said to have been on board to write the story. Alas, it was never meant to be as Capcom didn’t bring the project on. Instead, there’s a demo you can download of a full level on PC/Linux/Mac. Or, you can watch the footage below.
Man!Darkwinghas some badass villains that would have been great to see in the modern era. I dare say that aDarkwing Duckgame in the style ofBatman: Arkhamwould work pretty well, too.
