DuckTales Remastered is a thing that exists , and now it's a thing with a whole load of gameplay footage to pore over, so we can decide whether it lives up to the well-regarded NES original.

In other news, no one appears to be working on a Chip 'n' Dale remake, so there's obviously no justice in the universe.

DuckTales Remastered will be out on PC when Scrooge McDuck has finished mucking about in his money pit, and it's coming to pretty much all the major digital distributors for the sum of $14.99.
