You should read the gaming news thread ;)
Isn't this such an epic event that it DESERVES it's own thread?

I'm absolutely ecstatic by this. One of the only reasons I own a NES (or rather one of those cheap emulator consoles) is for games like Duck Tales. It's exciting, because I never considered that Capcom would ever re-release any of their Disney titles. I figured it was a copy-right issue. But after years of nothing on the virtual console I just figured it wasn't ever going to happen. This news not only means that we'll be playing a revamped Duck Tales in the near future, but also hints at the possibility that Capcom may choose to do this with additional Disney titles. I'm crossing my fingers for Rescue Rangers and Darkwing Duck.

There've been plenty of Epic News posted in the gaming thread ;)

But DuckTales epic? We're talking about a game that is so highly beloved that just a simple mention in an otherwise ambiguous thread just isn't enough. I say if something gets at least five replies it deserves it's own thread.
 
I hope they don't fuck up the controls moving it to 3D. I hope it turns out well.
I hope not either. But isn't it just a 2D platformer with a 3D background?
WiiU version is gonna be a blast.

Scene: Master Bedroom. Shawn and his wife are getting ready to sleep.
Wife: Goodnight.
Shawn: Goodnight.
They kiss and pull sheets over themselves.
There are a few moments of darkness and silence.
Suddenly a light comes on beneath the sheets.
Sound effect: DuckTales! Woohoo!
 
Yeah, but too often 2.5D games play terribly compared to their straight 2D counterparts (all the 2.5D Mega Man games for example, the New Mario series too in my opinion).

Huh. I'm having a lot of fun with the latest Mario. I dunno. Guest just difference of opinion.
 
All of the original voice actors are confirmed for the game, except the guy who played Fenton/Gizmoduck, and that's only because he's dead. The guy who does Scrooge? 94. He still came in to do his lines.
 
Wow, I'd have thought Alan Young was dead by now. He played Wilbur on Mr. Ed (maybe half of you will even know what Mr. Ed is.)
 
Hell, the lady who voices Granny from "The Looney Tunes" is freakin' 95! I should become a famous voice actor, they seem to live a good ways!
 
It's nearly impossible to break into the voice acting industry. If you aren't already famous for something else, you have to either know someone or be "found." The industry is still so small and the demand hasn't grown all that much. Single actors can do multiple jobs, meaning they aren't really looking for more people.
 
Yeah, even the fairly (internet) famous folks at Team Four Star or LittleKuriboh can't get a break into the industry, and that's despite years of talented performances. It really seems like the only way to break into the industry is...

- Go to Hollywood
- Become an actor
- Go to a lot of casting calls
- Fail the casting calls but impress one of the people there with your voice
- become a voice actor

Alternatively

- Be Japanese
- Live in Tokyo
- Go to a casting call

Because it's apparently real fucking easy to do in Japan, as long as your willing to follow their system.

Oh god I know and its easier to find work there since Japan makes like what, 80 cartoons a year?

You're not going to get a break in voice acting unless you live in LA. That's pretty much how it is.
 
Any entertainment job is going to be down to perseverence and a lot of luck. Unfortunately you can only control one of those things.
