'DuckTales Remastered,' a HD Rework of the NES Classic, Ready to Download this Summer

Hand-drawn characters in 3D environments top the list of changes.

In 1989, Capcom released a classic realization of one Disney's hit programs, 'Duck Tales.' Playing as Scrooge McDuck, players found not only a platformer of the early 'Mega Man' quality, but an all around classic game with its lauded music, secrets and non-linear gameplay.

Capcom has now elected to have WayForward Technologies of 'Contra 4' and 'A Boy and His Blob' fame, prepare an HD makeover of 8-bit title. Front and center for the changes is the switch to a 3D modeled environment for the 2D gameplay. The character sprites are being replaced by hand-drawn versions. The game's music, which has been endlessly spread throughout the internet, will be remixed.

Beyond those fundamental changes, Capcom is promising expanded roles for Huey, Dewey, and Louie. Launchpad McQuack will even get more screen time. The surviving original voice talent from the show is also part of the reworking.

'DuckTales Remastered' is set to launch this summer for the XBLA, PSN, and the eShop.

'Resident Evil 6 x Left for Dead 2' Crossover Footage Emerges Today

Today's launch of 'Resident Evil 6' for the PC teases the crossover.

Capcom, normally busy devising new ways to overwork their employs while aggravating their fans, has struck up a collaboration with Valve, who has been occupied getting players to make hats and finding new ways to inject 'Steam box' into a faux business plan. The collaboration is framed through the 'Vs' or 'X' line of games. This time around though, we are talking free DLC for 'Resident Evil 6' and 'Left 4 Dead 2' as the components of the 'Resident Evil 6 X Left 4 Dead 2' mash-up.

With 'Resident Evil 6' launching for the PC today, Capcom has released footage of the 'L4D2' crossover. Six 'L4D2' charecters will make their way over to the Mercenaries mode in 'Resident Evil 6,' including four survivors, Coach, Nick, Ellis, and Rochelle and two series enemies, the Witch and the Tank (but only a mini version.) The extra content is scheduled to be available April 5th.

The crossover has only been announced for PC versions of the games. 'Left 4 Dead 2' is going to receive Lepotitsa, Napad, and Ogroman at some point soon.

Capcom Preps 'Lost Planet 3' For Release

360, PS3, and PC versions to release this June.

'Lost Planet 3,' the third installment in Capcom's third-person grapple/mech actioner is coming to North America June 25th and to Europe June 28th. Unlike the first two games, Capcom has enlisted Spark Unlimited to try to veer the franchise back to its success as an early 360 title.

'Lost Planet 3' will also see the series story returned prequel-style to its icy roots, which may also help to flesh out the factions of E.D.N. III. Ice is certainly the theme of the game's trailer.

'Lost Planet 3' is available for pre-order here.

Capcom Says ‘Resident Evil 6’ Disc Contains no Paid DLC

Tags: Resident Evil, Resident Evil 6, Capcom, On-Disc DLC (all tags)

Despite rumors to the contrary, the unfinished on-disc DLC is for upcoming free content.

Capcom is known for a lot of things, but in recent months the name is closely associated with on-disc paid content – something that has absolutely infuriated their customers. When ‘Resident Evil 6’ was found to have extra content on the disc, the natural assumption was that this would be a repeat of what we’ve seen before.

As it turns out, Capcom has no plans to ask customers to pay for the content. It’s true that the extra content is for future downloadable content, but Capcom says that that particular piece of DLC, which adds No Hope mode and another playable co-op partner, will be free.

The deal only applies if you’re going through the Capcom storefront.

Capcom has a special deal set up for those preordering ‘Resident Evil 6.’ If you get it directly through Capcom, you’ll get an umbrella that sports the Umbrella corporation logo and the red and white design that accompanies it.

Of course, you can order anywhere else if you think you can live without an Umbrella Coporation umbrella. If you call that living.

'DMC: Devil May Cry' Set for January 15th Release

Tags: Devil May Cry, Capcom, Game Delays (all tags)

Capcom initially suggested that this would be coming in 2012, so this falls in line with the other 2013 delays.

Capcom has announced an official release date for their upcoming reboot 'DmC: Devil May Cry,' and like so many others, we're seeing a pushback to January 2013.

Game companies seem to be catching delay fever. It seems that everyone is pulling out of the once-coveted Christmas launch window, which is almost certainly due to the launch of 'Call of Duty: Black Ops II,' which could bring down sales of other games significantly.
