Great - even if you're not a Disney fan

When Nintendo first released the NES worldwide, they needed to hire a good deal of third-party companies to produce games for the new system. One of the best-known corporations that decided to do this was Capcom. The company made a name for itself with popular series like Street Fighter and Mega Man, but one of the more interesting things is that the Disney corporation had Capcom do all of their early games! This was a smart move. One of the earliest Capcom/Disney collaborations to appear on the NES was Duck Tales. The game was so excellent that in 1993, Disney had Capcom do a sequel! How does this game measure up? Read on to find out.

PROS:
-If you're a fan of classic side-scrolling exploration games, you're gonna love this one.
-This is a classic example of "easy to learn but hard to master." Games like this are usually the best games out there, and this is no exception.
-Three skill levels make the game appropriate for all game players.
-Though you only play as one character, you will encounter a number of characters on your journey who only add to the appeal of the storyline.
-Capcom's NES games were renowned for their high resolution graphics which had very minimal glitching. This game demonstrates that beautifully.
-The game adds in just enough new elements to keep things fresh.
-There are TWO endings!

CONS:
-The only thing I don't like about this game is that it's a pretty short game. Otherwise I don't see any problems with it.

OVERALL:
Do you own an NES? THEN YOU MUST BUY THIS GAME! I don't care if you're a Disney fan or not (I know I'm not), this is everything a side-scrolling adventure game should be. Back in the day, Capcom was the king of making good video games, and this was one of their finest. Don't pass it by!
