Why didn't Quacktroidvanias take off?

I prefer to call them castletroidnalds.

>>11812074 (OP)
Too much quack, not enough troids

>>11812081
But just enough vania?

Richter Duckmont, what are you doing here?

>>11812093
As a kid, my headcanon was that it was actually him in the game.

Is this actually a metroidvania? I always saw this game in magazines but never had it. Would've killed for it though

>>11812651
Not really. You backtrack between different levels to unlock new parts but it's not one big area like SOTN.

>>11812990
Sounds kino

This was pretty much a response to Capcom's DuckTales, wasn't it?

>>11813005
It might've had some influence, but mostly it's just a follow up to Castle of Illusion. They just went "ok, we have the Disney license and our Mickey games were a hit, what can we do with the other famous protagonists?"

At what point is making threads every day about Disney and old US cartoon games considered avatarfagging?

>Why didn't Quacktroidvanias take off?
Probably because A) they weren't profitable and B) people didn't want to spend money on shit that wasn't profitable.
In b 4 jews.

The plunger gun is such a satisfying mechanic, makes the game pure comfycore.

>>11814014
Disney Games usually sold well and had a reputation for being well made.
Cold Shadow was well reviewed.

>>11812074 (OP)
>forced to go to 4 wrong stages just to make any progress right at the start of the game

I wonder why it didn't take off you fucking moron, Donald.

1. It lets you go back to a checkpoint instead of having to replay the levels from the beggining.
2. It's easy and short enough that the little it makes you repeat isn't a big deal.
3. It's fun figuring out this stuff like a real explorer.

>>11812085
What is a duck?

>>11814262
A miserable little pile of lucky dimes.

I was always annoyed that the enemies are an infinite army of Pete clones when using the Beagle Boys would have made much more sense.

>>11814114
not starting with sticky plungers is a huge mistake. It makes starting a chore every time

in a sense using Petes like that showed a better understanding of the comics, where Pete just kept appearing at random to face Mickey in stories where often it wasn't even the same character

>>11812074 (OP)
good thread
idk why, never was a donald duck fan but like ducktales and quackshot fucking rock and I love em.

>>11814194
cold shadow is a blast

>>11813986
you are a fag

>>11816426
I enjoyed the fuck out of the early Duck Tales episodes with Donald Duck. Shame he gets written out.

>>11814194
this. even in japan, the disney sega games sold well
quackshot and castle of illusion got a rerelease on saturn

>>11817060
>tfw the "Illusion" series is the "I Love" series in Japan.

>>11813986
as much as it is to make nintendo threads

What did the scene group put at the beginning of the Donald Duck game they pirated? A QUACKtro!

>>11812074 (OP)
You can make a thread about a game without being a retard, OP.

>>11815027
just looking at that picture makes me nostalgic

>>11812074 (OP)
The fact that they exist speaks more about the difference between cartoons then vs. now.

Quackshit happened because Ducktales was a hit cartoon, so ducks were everywhere. These days, could you imagine something like Steven Universe becoming a gaming regular? No because kids don't even like it, it was made for 20 year old womanchilden, by a womanchild who grew up on 4chan and rule 34

>Quackshit happened because Ducktales was a hit cartoon, so ducks were everywhere.
not quite really what happened but sure

>>11812074 (OP)
Alright quacktroidvania got me, good job lol

I replayed this game earlier this year because I was convinced I had never beat it. Every time I hit a new level I was like "I'm sure this is the last level I had seen", and then again for the next level, and again... Turns out I had beaten it and I just didn't remember and this was my third playthrough, with only the first attempt being the time I hadn't beaten it

thanks for reading my "I'm getting old" blog

Fuck off weeaboo, anime is gutter trash/autism , so are anime games

>>11812074 (OP)
Is it the best Disney game?

>>11820127
It's either this or Magical Quest 1 for me.

>>11820127
Yes.

>>11820127
>Is it the best Disney game?
If not its up there and is the best Indiana Jones game as well.

>>11820127
its damn close, if not the best
really made me play other disney retro games as well
whats cool is castle of illusion and quackshot are both prequels to world of illusion apparently
I thought that was kinda neat

>>11821276
It is, in Japan they're more of a triology, while here both the 1st and 3rd titles got the "Illusion" name, with QuackShot being different, in Japan they're I Love Mickey Mouse, I Love Donald Duck and at last I Love Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck.

>>11820127
Even if you think you're too good for Kingdom Hearts, it's not close

>>11822806
didn't know that neat, I knew they were like prequels to world of illusion didn't know they went in sequential order.
