Capcom "Disney Afternoon" NES Games Unlikely to Hit Virtual Console

Sep. 3 11:18 AM by Alicia Ashby

A thread on Capcom's really quite good Capcom Unity forums has brought along some useful and depressing news. If you were holding your breath for Ducktales, Chip n' Dale Rescue Rangers, or Darkwing Duck on Virtual Console... well, I'd suggest breathing. Ever-helpful Capcom VP of Strategic Planning & Business Development Christian Svensson has bluntly stated that part of the Capcom NES library is unlikely to see VC release.

Licensing issues abound. I think you'd be hard pressed to see them show up, but you never know.

No Bionic Commando, no DuckTales, still waiting on Mega Man 2... what is Nintendo America's damage with Capcom lately? Anyway, if you're the type to keep a machine around that can play NES carts, then these games are probably ones you'll want physical copies of for the time being.

My suggestion--replace the disney characters with generic mascots, but keep the same great gameplay. I can't wait to play Darkpaw Dog, Duck-billed Platypustales, and Chad and Dan's Rescue Squad!

 

I think I'd almost rather play "Chad and Dan's Rescue Squad" than the original.
