Darkwing Duck (TurboGrafx-16) Playthrough

[@Steelflight773]

I wanted to give you props for the well-written descriptions of the games. I always enjoy reading them as much as the videos.

[@NintendoComplete]

Thank you! :)

[@VahanNisanian]

AVGN: Get up there. Get UP there! GET THE FUCK UP THERE!

[@rodrickrichard9121]

😂😂😂 I remember that one!!

[@fernandoangelessoto9301]

It wasn’t that hard

[@ArttuTheCat]

I had this Disney cartoon tie-in for my NES back in the early 1990's. And to be honest, it was one of the most brilliant Disney games, since DUCKTALES 😺👍🕹️.

[@ZEKESPILLEDINKMUSIC]

I remember this version because of the infamous AVGN episode.

[@Mohammed1000real]

They did Darkwing dirty in this game.

[@NintendoComplete]

Darkwing Duck is better than the TaleSpin game, but let's not kid ourselves. It's still terrible.

[@ArttuTheCat]

I have this feeling, that the NES version of DARKWING DUCK is much better 😺👍🕹️ than the TurboGrafx-16 version 😹🕹️.

[@freddyvidz]

Awful

[@elchamo4652]

Y la versión de nes?

[@freddyvidz]

So much wasted potential

[@leonardorito4398]

A versão do NES é muito melhor que essa versão do Turbo Grafx!

[@MrAliex09]

Ngl I feel like the best way to describe Darkwing Duck is a “poor man’s version of Mega Man with difficulty that is too high in contrast to the enjoyment of the gameplay.”

[@Avrelivs_Gold]

as a person who played DWD before MegaMan, it's vice versa. MegaMan is a poor man noname franchise without any story, made up villains, mostly bad music (except MM2)... While DWD has everything, especially cool music, cool stages, is extremely polished and pleasant to play.

[@jasonbrewer8477]

Are you referring to the NES version? Because while it's definitely a Megaman clone, it's a damn good one and a top ten NES game in my book. I didn't think it was hard because I loved and played all of the Megaman games as a kid though.

[@MrAliex09]

@@jasonbrewer8477 It’s the TurboGrafx-16 version I’m talking about in case you were wondering!

[@jasonbrewer8477]

I thought you were referring to that version, I never got to try it and didn't want to after seeing the AVGN video on it 😆 Cheers mate!

[@KacperSobierajVargskeletor5421]

The best version of Darkwing Duck is on the NES.

[@SomeOrangeCat]

If this was a movie, it would be on Red Letter Media's Wheel of the Worst.

[@spoonshiro]

The NES version may not be flawless but it's a masterpiece compared to this!

[@Avrelivs_Gold]

it's flawless, actually. perfect for NES.

[@NintendoComplete]

Just goes to show how the quality of a game is much more important than the strength of the hardware it runs on, huh?

[@edwardgaines6561]

​@@NintendoCompleteNot to mention, Capcom always made quality games!

[@KacperSobierajVargskeletor5421]

And that’s why there is no MegaMan game on the TurboGrapx-16.

[@WindupAtheist]

4:38 That D the AVGN spent half his video trying to get is totally easy, he just didn't know how to double jump!

[@NintendoComplete]

Haha yeah. It tells you in the manual that you can bounce off of stuff by holding down mid-jump. It works the same as Mickey's bounce in Castle of Illusion.

[@DBoy2029]

I remembered the AVGN did a video on this.

[@MarcBarkyMarta]

Man, you made this look easy.

[@vgaoct91]

"If you're itching a good Darkwing Duck game, do yourself a favor and pick up Capcom's excellent NES game instead." That I already have, through the Disney Afternoon Collection on Steam.

[@radioraheem1555]

I wanted this game so bad. I’m glad my mom didn’t get it.

[@NintendoComplete]

You dodged a bullet

[@scottodrowsky9835]

"Let's get dangerous!" 💜💜🖤🖤💜💜

[@PlasticCogLiquid]

I actually enjoyed difficult platformers like this back when they were relevent. I loved Bubsy. I know I'm weird

[@Retrokid1998]

Fun fact the boss music is stolen from tale spin that shows how much effort they put in to this game

[@solarflare9078]

For all this game's faults, the parallax at 1:37 is great

[@ejsvirtualgarage]

Gaming Historian briefly covered this game in his "Mega Man on MS-DOS" video. It's worth a look.

[@NintendoComplete]

I think I'd take any of the MM Dos games over this.

[@NisseDood]

I wish they at least gave bosses a few frames of animation. Especially Steelbeak looks just silly when its only his legs that got 2 frames of animation when walking.

[@MbRetroGamer]

nice darkwing nes turbografx

[@timroehm1728]

Just don’t stay on the stage for too long trust me if you do a safe will drop on you killing you instantly!

[@GetLostGames1]

The graphics looks so good. When I was a kid I saw the pictures of this game and I was 🤩. What happened in the development of this game?

[@RyanGSMFan]

Honestly, how's a 16-bit game about a crime fighting superhero duck on a console that no one cared about got less music compared to Capcom's 15 unique music tracks on NES & GB

[@jeremydavidson1420]

yup this game is better then talespin but still lacks the fun of some of the better disney games.

[@KacperSobierajVargskeletor5421]

Darkwing Duck for the TurboGraphx-16 proves there shouldn’t be a TurboGraphx-16 Mega Man Game.

[@ust-orda_player]

But Capcom supported PC Engine and its add-ons both themselves and via licensees. For example, Hudson Soft, being a partner to Capcom, ported 1941: Counter Attack to SuperGrafx.

[@mightyfilm]

Jeez. No wonder Quackerjack hates video games so much. As much of a Darkwing Superfan I am, I am glad I never had a TurboGraphix. Otherwise I would have been stuck with this abomination.

[@deeperwang106]

This brings me back to my younger years! Any chance of a Maui Mallard in Cold Shadow playthrough?

[@rockid7970]

Isn't this game just unfinished? Seems like many animations are missing (you basically fight cardboard cutouts).

[@tirantloblanch1]

Incredible how in this case a turbograft game could be worst than a nintendo game

[@mariusamber3237]

Maybe it's not terrible, just mediocre, but compared even to the NES game... yeah, that's an easy choice.

[@JustinA-p5n]

It's only 22 minutes?

[@W4lmartbag]

If i had to make a top 10 worst disney games/ports ever made the top 3 would contain 3:the liom king for the nes 2:fantasia for the mega drive/genesis 1:darkwing duck for the nec/turbografx 15

[@stanleysagastume7395]

Neutopia 2? Full playthrough

[@cakekatjam6]

I didnt even know there was such thing as a bad TurboGrafx game, given it didnt have as much third party support as the SNES or the Genesis There might've been average, mediocre ones at worst, but never this bad. You have to play this to know how terrible it is

[@solarflare9078]

Talespin is even worse than this

[@Dorian_Scott]

Interactive Designs might have to have been one of the least competent western developers at the time; This and both TaleSpin games are prime examples of just how lazy they were; heck, they literally re-used the boss theme from TaleSpin here. They couldn't take full advantage of SEGA or NEC's consoles to deliver a quality experience that could rival some Japanese developed titles at the time.

[@ust-orda_player]

Interactive Designs were closed by 1995/1996 thanks to Sega killing several studios after Saturn launched in the US.

[@indrachaudhari7874]

This game is only 22 min long. Was AVGN right about this game? The input lag, difficult to double jump? or did he over exaggerated it to make a funny video?

[@genyakozlov1316]

He always exaggerates to make the video funnier, not that I find most of them funny either way. Glitches and Big Rigs are the only two I ever enjoyed.

[@solarflare9078]

Input lag is real Double Jump is by holding down bouncing off something (Ala Castle of Illusion)

[@devonwilliams5738]

Huh. I always hear Talespin is better.

[@Alexandudecooldud]

"From what i've seen so far, Darkwing duck is the worst game on the turbografx 16." -Avgn

[@lybio]

NES version is better than this one.😢

[@king-of-a-thing]

I feel really bad for you, this is probably the most mid game on the system.😬😬😬

[@mnemonichotpocket]

Ducktales was better

[@mortenera2294]

This game and TaleSpin really show how a bunch of incompetent, western developers couldn't take full advantage of the PC Engine's hardware capabilities

[@diegomayfield4751]

Was it Western Developers ? I remember back in the day whenever a game wasn’t made in Japan , usually it sucked .

[@solarflare9078]

Not just the PC Engine. The Mega Drive and SNES too
