Duck Tales NES Review/Walkthrough Pt. 1 of 2

[Joelaroc7]

Yes!!! The first walk-through to feature the Jethro Tull intro. The Aqualung Era begins here.

[poptartlove2010]

How do you do the pogo jump? I just got this game and when I jump on enemies, I just loose health. Thanks!

[DravenWolfe]

Ah, Still have this game game, great game.

[simpsonsfantotheend]

your a much better game reviewer than AVGN

[DravenWolfe]

@simpsonsfantotheend My guess is that Aqualung is an actual gamer.

[sonnybrown]

I wish you didn't talk so much shit. Where's Robin Hood when you need him? He's up your ass, hater.

[briancurtiswalker]

Ice cream health. How do you think Scrooge would feel if a sea monster ATE HIS ICE CREAM?

[Mr8bitgamer]

its funny i just bought this game in some store

[TheCornCobbers]

How old is Scrooge today?

[jameygamer]

5:23 I've think I've figured out why Launchpad was having trouble controlling that helicopter. He's steering it with only one hand! (You need to look closely to see it.)

[KurtKokaine1]

@jameygamer Lol, stoopid Launchpad.

[DWLGNiRvana]

Does any1 else notice the red barrel at 3:06 is an e-tank from the mega man games but without the e on it

[phlyersphan25]

plunger chucker.

[brtshstel]

i just got this game an im having trouble with it a bit. I didnt have this in my youth but im becoming a scrooge mc duck in collecting NES games. it's fun, but for some reason it's hard for me

[jameygamer]

You know what I noticed about the red block at 5:06. It's the E-Tank from Mega Man 2, only without the E.

[KurtKokaine1]

@jameygamer they do look way to similar to be coincidence.

[Jibjub80]

I only WISH that sugar infested desserts were actually good for you. :-P

[radavis76]

@Jibjub80 Ice cream is good for you when it's made of real milk (or soy milk if you can't tolerate the lactose), real cream (omit if you can't tolerate dairy products), and real ingredients because of the calcium and vitamin D. When partially-boiled eggs are added, you also get extra protein as well. Nevertheless, too much of a good thing can be bad for you later on.

[Jibjub80]

@radavis76 I still don't think that ice cream is truly "good for" a person. It is true that ice cream may have some nutrients (e.g., calcium, protein, vitamin D), but it is also rich in fat, cholesterol, sugar, and calories overall. I usually opt for light ice cream over regular to cut down on the fat/ cholesterol content. However, if that cake that Mrs. Beakley was giving to Scrooge were good for a person, I would truly be happy (I love cake), even more than ice cream! :-P

[radavis76]

@Jibjub80 Both of them (ice cream and cake) still need a lot of tweaking because there's a delicate balance between tastes good and good for you.

[radavis76]

@Cuteblondie1972 That fat lady is also Scrooge's housekeeper Mrs Beakley.

[mlthomp1981]

Loved this game!

[KirbyY15]

i love this game. it is so hard if not played a long time. i luv it <3

[ThaWiseJester]

This is a classic game alot of hidden levels,short cuts etc.. Very fun game this and Batman were awesome.

[neuweiwit]

I always loved watching Ducktales in the 90s.

[indonev123]

Same here. I wished DVR was available back then, because I'd have to rush home from school to wash it

[neuweiwit]

Cool.

[RoamingWind777]

I enjoy it! Thanks a lot!

[neuweiwit]

I love This guy's Back to the Future review and Nightmare on elm Street.

[nicknjbsmom]

At 3:07,it looks like a blank E tank

[MisterVercetti]

I just thought the same thing.

There goes Capcom and their shameless recycling again. XD

[Zangamarth]

Hey! At that intro screen, the kids are colored green, red, green! What the heck?

[BigDumbJerk]

you're old

[agmendelssohn]

I love the commentary on this video. The comments are not only witty but absolutely hilarious when he delivers them so nonchalantly.

[martincommrad]

There is hidden vine above a portal in the ceiling after making it past the "rotting tomato." You use the floating treasure chest to reach it. When Scrooge ascends into the menu bar at 6:15, simply hold down the "Up" button on your "D" pad and start climbing up. Cool, huh?

[sir901]

i enjoy watching this guy so much better than the irate gamer cause he's funny and he doesn't try nearly as hard

[heckyes15]

I still have this game its the best :)

[MasterT231]

8:37 where are the ghostbusters when you need them

[DClem1]

Aqualung on Huey: "Wow he went and got himself kidnapped right away! What a dumbass!" LOL Classic!

[SpaceShank]

God I loved the cartoon show. This game was hella awesome too.

[monkeypower420]

some of the coffins do give you treasure I think it was the ones by the hidden room

[eeveetm]

well...the stone guy has animation its its eyes

[Blacketer1904]

so i have been watching AVGN but i have now watched all of his videos, this is a good sub until he makes more and you do games that dont suck. thank you =)

[jlcochran]

I hated that mine cart in Transylvania, the most difficult part in the game.

[lebutzki]

20 Years?!? That makes me feel old too

[kuunami]

I know right? I remember playing this game when I was a kid.

[YklausK]

what's the game called at 0:09?

[dubalo]

That's Green Beret

[Kaffeesuechtiger]

thats rush n attack aqualung did a game review of it too

[GoCelticsNow]

Rush 'N Attack

[flirtykurty79]

LOVED the commentary HILARIOUS and VERY well spoken and VERY informative for anyone who can't figure this shit out, (NOT ME i fucking OWED THIS GAME)

[LordFvckingHorst]

"It doesn't really matter which one you pick first."

That's only partly true. You can't get very far in the mines if you don't have the key from the previous levels.

[AqualungGameReviews]

No, you don't get the key in the regular Transylvania level because the mirror that leads you to it won't teleport you there. When you get to the locked door in the mines, you'll be automatically sent to Transylvania where the mirror does work. So you don't need to go to any level before any of the others.

[LordFvckingHorst]

Yeah, I saw that in the second part of the review. Guess I should've watched it all first before leaving witty comments. :/

[thenintendogamer]

i love the series and the game. i have the game too. the original nes cartridge.

[Flashback007]

Thanks to this review, I am gonna watch the series again. :)

[goreds03]

GREAT CARTOON LOVE TO SEE IT AGAIN

[Jprime777]

the music for the moon level is one of my favorite songs from the NES era, it's a great tune

[Foo3112]

Plunger Chuckers...lmao

[CriqCriq]

how do i use the cane ? i mean as a golf club

[Foo3112]

Simply HOLD the direction pad (meaning to the left or right) when your pressed up on the item and press the hit button.

[Ctrustbank]

1:12, BEST sound track ever! seriously, I'd get high listening to that. I used to play this game too, alot =] thanks for uploading

[TypicalJoe1900]

This game was made by Keiji Inafune! The creator of our beloved Megaman/Rockman! And he said so himself in an interview!

[skorch82]

I remember before I figured out how to actually play this game, I used to get to Launchpad and have him take me back to Duckburg (without actually knowing that was what he was doing), and thought I beat the level.

Way more fun when I finally figured it out.

[EricArgyris]

I love aqualung but everytime I listen to this song I have to konvince myself that I'm listening to a song about a small boy teasing other children and not a song about a kid toucher. LIke the creepy docktor from "Excell saga"

[Maddavy2004]

I love duck tales :D

[nick100108]

lol the enemys in transilvania the moon and the mines look like daffy duck in discisse

[kl4969]

Launchpad flies around like a drunk lol

[Kafei464]

I actually played the gameboy version. Now that I think about it, this game was probably built using Mega Man's coding.

[MrZombay]

The singer for Jethrol Toll sounds JUST like Trey Parker.

[TypicalJoe1900]

Trey Parker is a sac-religious scumbag.

[MrZombay]

That doesn't change the fuck the Jethro Tull guy sounds like Trey Parker.

[sonicmario64]

OMG, I just discovered a secret area in the Amazon level watching this!

[bigklap23]

marvelous review as always

[sonicrushblaster]

you go to the moon to get greenn cheese? heck all i need to do to get that is open my refridgerator

[hanzieWTF]

Awesome!!

[urtoosmall]

Ducktales is awesome...but the commentator is really annoying.

[parristhesocialite]

man seein this stuff takes me back to when i played NES. he's funny too, i cant get enough

[makeshiftpat]

hardest fucking game

[EdmacZ]

Speaking of old, I have an old Archie Comic book from 1990 that has an ad for this game. It's been a pretty damn long time since the olden days of Saturday Morning Cartoon syndication.

You can blame the internet and cable TV for that.

[suavestar]

sorry, just read a comment! and ignore my last one! still love duck tales, great game and the movie was the best movie ever!

[suavestar]

whats the song you use for your intros? you probably asked answered this somewhere else, but i want to get it, cause it sounds great! oh and great vids.

[ChibiFighter]

What you said about the Cliché haunted house in transilevania yeah that make sense but atleast Capcom was nice enough to pack in some awesome music *I love the haunted house stage music*.

[AqualungGameReviews]

Yeah the Transylvania music is awesome, although I actually like the Moon song even more.

[ChibiFighter]

Yeah the Moon stage music is awesome too.

[ChibiFighter]

Actually I listend to The Moon stage music acouple of times I change my mind The Moon music is the best music in the game.

[Zeela12]

Yeah, well personally I thought it was nice to see transilevania to make an appearance in this game, castlevania was a nice title back then and it's just fun to see them all together.

[DarkLink805]

Actually the Prototype version of Transylvania music is better than the one we have now.

[ChibiFighter]

*Then again I would have shit my pants at these giant spiders* LMFAO.

[aguyok]

What song is it in the beginning?

[halomano07]

That is Jethro Tull's Aqualung. I don't think I spelled his name correctly.

[AqualungGameReviews]

You did spell it correctly. Interestingly enough, "Jethro Tull" is the name of the band and not the singer. The band was named after a 14th century inventor.

[kingbooforums]

how old are you? btw great review.

[schtolteheim]

Launchpad's service always looked kinda useless to me before. I was never one to go for a high score, as it usually has no meaning and is only a number you achieve.

[schtolteheim]

That's interesting, I got Gyro's diamond give-away bonus once, and I had no idea how that happened. I also didn't know of a '(very) good' ending.

[Aaron1046]

love it! gj!

[MegaManFan82]

Your reviews are awesome

[clairefedfield]

very great editing and audio mixing!

[surrealfeline]

LoL...the narration is hilarious..."Launchpad flies around like a drunk"

hahahaha good stuff.

[summ22]

something in general...

i can very hardly understand your voice. you speak very fast and you are kind of.. erm.. mumbling. not easy to understand for non-native english speakers :-)

other than that, keep up the good work!

[hellsing920]

Holy shit. Has it been 20 years? Damn. I feel like I need to buy some Geritol. I really do feel old all of a sudden.

[thegaminggoose]

I love how you always point out the logical flaws in a game in a humorous way . .. like why doesn't scrooge hire someone, Launch Pad catches up to you etc. It's great. Keep it up!

[XxGORMOTHxX]

Wow! awesome! 5 stars!

[devilboy666x]

just what I needed *starts playing Ducktales*

[Jprime777]

oops sorry about that, this isnt the game i'm doing >_<

[AqualungGameReviews]

Ha, it's cool. Even if you were doing the same game, it wouldn't be a big deal. GrumpyGamerBitch and I did Super Pitfall within a couple weeks of each other and neither of us had any idea the other was reviewing it.

[Jprime777]

hey aqualung, im working a review of this game, seems you beat me to it....i'll still post it anyway

[urotsukidoji45]

Wow, great review, nice intro....I had this thing for gameboy....totally awesome translation between the two!

[Quickening666]

Im so thankful my childhood was filled with Conan, Highlander and Willow. Only now am I finding out about all the mental cartoon characters like Scrooge Mcduck.

Ace video. I may actually check this game out.

[ser6Ijvolk]

I think i had part two of the game - are you going to do that one to?You fight a golden guy similar to the one from the last level of Virtua Fighter at the end i think.

[NoName1325]

Cool!

[LeisureSuitGaming]

one of my favorite games of all time. check out my new review man. tell me what you think.

[mortalBLAST]

nice trick instead of paying 300g. good work man.5/5

[amiga1200games]

cool new intro

[AlteredEgo5x]

Yeah I love Jethro Tull. Just curious did you name the show after the song, or is it just coincidince

[AqualungGameReviews]

I did name it after the song. Tull is a great band and are still a good show live despite their age.
