is at it again, and it's your job to take out the various villains threatening the city. You play as Darkwing Duck, the feathery crime fighter of St. Nostalgia overflows me as I pick this title up again, and I'm flooded with emotions that fill me with joy. Regardless of it's ties to the Blue Bomber, Darkwing Duck is a fairly challenging and ridiculously fun game to play. Fortunately, while this proposed sequel will never see the light of day, you can certainly play the original for PlayStation 4 in the excellent Disney Afternoon Collection from Digital Eclipse.While this may just be a poor man's Mega Man, rumor has it that this game was actually built from the Mega Man 5 engine on the NES. It also tallies some stats at the end, and Thomley encourages players to use that screen to share high scores on social media. It’s cute, though, in that it uses music and some assets from the original NES Darkwing Duck game (which of course was developed by Capcom). It’s obviously a proof of concept, mostly showing off early mechanical ideas. Still, the “demo” is neat, and you can download a playable PC build and try it out. Later, a separate conversation led to an assumption that Disney would have turned it down pretty quickly regardless of Capcom’s interest. It isn’t the most elaborate story in the world, essentially going from a conversation at E3 to a series of attempts at email communications. He posted both a gameplay video of the “demo” built for the pitch, as well as a second video providing the backstory on what happened. This comes from Simon “Stealth” Thomley himself, who runs Headcannon and was one of the lead programmers on Sonic Mania alongside director Christian Whitehead.
