Retro Game of the Week 169: Darkwing Duck (NES)

I am finally back! After two years of no entries to this series, I decided it's time for a revival. We have so much to work to do so lets get started. This review will be undergoing a new format. Just bare with me and enjoy the read! I will be incorporating new stuff as I learn more about these posts. So, some of these features will probably stay while others disappear till I can find the right kick. Enjoy! Why is this a pick of the week? Well. I decided to pick this game because it's actually a very good game and I know Disney related games get trashed nowadays, but back then Capcom brought us lots of quality games from Disney franchises, oh how we miss those days. So yeah, the gameplay and music make this game an instant classic, but don't get me wrong, it's a difficult one! How does it play? So, you ever wanted to play a Mega Man game with a Disney charm? Well, look no further as this is as close it'll get. Fans of the Mega Man series or side scrollers in particular will find that this game plays quite similar to them. You have the shooting and jumping and platforming that many of these elite games by Capcom brought back in the day. You will feel like you are in control of the game. 

Digital or Physical? Which format? So, putting aside the gameplay and music, this game should definitely be in anyone's collection. I highly recommend a physical copy of it. There is nothing like blowing on the cart till the game works only to crash later deep in the game. If you want to go digital, of course, there is emulation or the NES classic. One last option would be a Raspberry Pie. Go physical!
