Ducktales Remastered - serious problem????
So whats with all the long winded voice acting in the beginning? Is that skipable???
Go to 4:30 of that video, right in the middle of the gameplay. Bleck. If that's how it is, I'm out.....
What a waste of dev time. Take a classic game and wreck it with garbage. Everything else looks fantastic, how stupid.

But the originals were used whenever possible.

[QUOTE=Leo]They didn't get the entire voice cast of the show. Several voice actors that voiced some of the notable characters from the show have now passed on. So in at least a couple of cases here, they've had to use the official Disney substitute voice actor for a couple of characters.
But the originals were used whenever possible. [/QUOTE]
Of those who have passed that they couldn't get the voices of, I take it you mean Joan Gerber and Hal Smith, but were there others whose characters were in the NES game? And for that matter, were Mrs. Beakley and Gyro (voiced by the people I mentioned) even in the NES game? I ask because, shockingly, I've never played it (the Ducktales game I grew up playing was The Quest For Gold for the PC/Commodore 64).

It has been many years since I played the NES game so I couldn't tell you for sure. And since this seems to be taking inspiration from and expanding upon it, there very well may be additional characters present here that weren't there since it's not strictly a remake.What I do know is that Capcom has stated that they've utilized the original voice actors whenever possible and that the official Disney replacements were utilized when that was impossible. So at least one character's voice actor from back in the day was unavailable for this game for one reason or another so the voice cast isn't 100% original.
So I assume that Hal Smith is likely a safe bet since Gryo is certainly an important character that seems all but mandatory to be represented here (and he also voiced Flintheart Glomgold, one of the secondary villains that appeared from time to time). But besides him and Joan Gerber that was Mrs Beakly's voice (And another minor character or two), there's also Hamilton Camp that has passed on (Fenton/Gizmo Duck) for a major character from the show. And the actor that voiced the recurring role of his mother, Kathleen Freeman, has also passed away.
But I hope the Gizmo Duck nonsense isn't here. The show was starting to lose a lot of its charm later on so I hope this game sticks to the earlier days of the program for inspiration and leaves junk like that and Bubba out of it.

If it's anything like any of the newer releases, there are no instruction manuals. Plus, it was originally a download game and obviously had no instruction manual, so I'd be surprised if they made one specifically for it.
But this is my conjecture based on the download game and not a retail purchase, so, take it with a grain of salt.
