You Only Live Once: DuckTales (NES)

Welcome to YOLO, the video series where I play as much of a game in a single life. No continues or cheating; I only have one life to live. Join me as I tackle a different game every THURSDAY and SUNDAY. And don't forget to subscribe to the Defunct Games YouTube channel for more content!


My name is Cyril Lachel and you're watching YOLO, the only show that's guaranteed to end in heartbreak. I'm taking the challenge to play every game with a You Only Live Once attitude. In this case, literally. I'll play exactly one life of every game, seeing just how far I can make it in a single turn.

Today we're looking at DuckTales, the Capcom classic that was first released on the Nintendo Entertainment System. This game later appeared on the Nintendo Game Boy, and a quarter-century later we're finally getting an HD remake for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. That's one of the reasons we're here today. Hopefully this quick look at DuckTales will get you in the mood for the Scrooge's adventures. So let's go ahead and press the start button and see what happens.

CAN'T GET ENOUGH DUCKTALES?
