Lets Get Dangerous Darkwing Duck Launches on Nintendo NES – June 14th, 1992 – Today in Video Game History
June 13th, 2020 Carl Williams Darkwing Duck is a Disney animated feature set in an alternate “duckverse” from Ducktales. Launchpad McQuack and Gizmoduck both appear each show, in similar positions of life, but are considered different characters. That means two different universes to deal with here. Think of Darkwing Duck maybe as a DC Comics Elseworlds story. In 1992, Capcom […]

April 2nd, 2016 Carl Williams Nintendo has shown over the years that there is quite a bit of money to be made in iconic characters doing uncharacteristic things. Mario started as a girder climber, then a running and jumping plumber. Eventually Mario saw a short career in pharmaceuticals and even racing.
