#Gamevember2019 turns black and white, just in time to get dangerous.

Darkwing Duck returns in one of the most impressive Nes ports on the Game Boy. Most of these ports changed around stuff that some times made it almost feel like a different game (Ducktales had butchered levels, Tailspin had merged and removed levels, etc) but Darkwing Duck is a port that is really close to the original.
Don't get me wrong, I love when they change things in ports to better push the hardware and give us a slightly new experience, but this game almost turns the handheld Game Boy into a Nes. They needed the Game Boy Color and Super Mario Bros Deluxe to beat this.
That said, sacrifies were made. The bonus stages are fewer and in different places. Some of the bosses are easier because of the lower resolution (Quacker Jack, Megavolt and Bushwhack got less height levels, Moliarty got one less flamethrower machine).
Some enemies are gone while others are slightly easier (like the genie in the lamp enemy).
The biggest and pretty much only problem is that some places requires an almost pixel perfect jump in order to grab a ledge in order to continue. I really had trouble at one place around 16:00 wasting 1ups like there was no tomorrow.
...and the game is kinda short once you learn how to play it, but it is still a nice game.
