Darkwing Duck (NES) - Playthrough
2In this video, I'm doing a playthrough of an NES game that I discovered before, back in episode 10 of MarcBlaster's Fun Game Time and I wanted to revisit this game for a very long time. That game is: Darkwing Duck for the NES (aka Nintendo Entertainment System). This game was developed and published by Capcom, it was first released for the NES in North America in 1992 and the European version came a year later in 1993, followed by a Game Boy version released in February 1993. The NES version of the game was included alongside other games in The Disney Afternoon Collection compilation for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One in April 2017. A sequel to the game featuring 16-bit styled graphics was pitched to Capcom by Headcannon, one of the developers of Sonic Mania. The pitch was ultimately rejected and Headcannon released their playable prototype online on January 7, 2019. The game is based on the Disney animated television series Darkwing Duck. The plot goes like this: A mysterious crime wave has hit St. Canard and S.H.U.S.H. requires the services of the caped crime fighter Darkwing Duck to stop it as it appears that F.O.W.L. and their valued operative Steelbeak is behind the uprising. They have hired six of Darkwing's greatest foes to wreak havoc in different areas throughout St. Canard. Darkwing must subdue each of these criminals in order to find Steelbeak and save the city. Darkwing Duck is a platform game with a couple of elements similar to Capcom's Mega Man video game series. The gameplay is based on typical platforming while using a Gas Gun to take down enemies. The player may choose from three different stages at the start of the game with another set of three becoming available after that. Once all six stages are clear, Darkwing proceeds to F.O.W.L.'s Floating Fortress for his final confrontation with Steel Beak. Darkwing begins with his standard Gas Gun but can collect different types of gas throughout each stage: Thunder, Heavy, and Arrow. Each special gas requires ammunition and take up different amounts and functions differently, but the player can only have one type of special gas at a time. Picking up a different type of special gas replaces the one Darkwing currently has. The player can freely switch between the special gas and the standard gas by hitting Select. Darkwing can also deflect certain projectiles with his cape by hitting Up on the control pad. Overall, Darkwing Duck for the NES is a very fun game by Capcom, based on the animated television series from Disney and it's one of my childhood cartoons that I've watched, as well as the other Disney cartoons, such as: DuckTales, Chip 'N Dale: Rescue Rangers and TaleSpin. If you haven't played this game before, then I highly recommend to give the NES or the Game Boy version a try. It's worth it! I hope you enjoy this playthrough of Darkwing Duck for the NES (aka Nintendo Entertainment System) and thanks for watching!
