LittleBigPlanet Does Classic DuckTales Theme

​

The NES, DuckTales and LittleBigPlanet -- a bizarre combination that works flawlessly together in one amazing video.

Clocking in at a little over a minute, the video demonstrates the wildly robust LittleBigPlanet level editor reenacting the "Moon" theme from 1989's DuckTales. It would have been impressive enough had Youtube user "JokinJoe" merely coaxed the PlayStation 3 title into playing something similar to Capcom's tune, but the resulting song is not just spot on, it's actually better than the original [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPkhhLC1tf8].

Sure, it doesn't quite have the novelty of the Contra or R-Type remakes [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/93337-LittleBigPlanet-Tops-One-Million-User-Created-Levels] done in the same engine, but given that LBP is supposed to be a platformer, this stage certainly wins points for originality.

And, of course, for scratching that ever-present nostalgia itch that keeps us twentysomethings up at night wondering why the world is much less rad than it used to be.

I played that game a lot (Ducktales on the NES).
Awesome to see Scrooge jump with his cane!

Aw man.... this song takes me way back

And now I feel as old as Scrooge, dang!

Hmm, I never played the game.
But the songs is indeed pretty. +1 for that!

DELETED

Awesome, but I expected the real Ducktales theme...


Colour me disappointed, but this is still cool.

I love the Moon theme. So very remixed though, they're easy to find on YouTube.

I too remember that game and playing the hell out of it. It was basically megaman except you had a melee weapon and a pogo stick instead of a gun.

That is a very faithful rendition if my memory serves me. Yay nostalgia.

Ducktales is the only Video game I've ever had stolen from me.

To this day I miss the little bastard. I run the rom sometimes but it isn't the same as slipping that nice hard cartridge into that innocent little NES's nice tight slot.

...sorry...I blacked out...where am I?

 

[Casual Shinji]

F*king RAD!

 

[Gerazzi]

Heh... I remember Duck Tales.
There was a show also based off of it if I remember correctly.
AND SWEET JESUS THAT WAS SOME COMPOSING SKILLZ.

Stolen?! Aw man, that sucks!!!
I hope the perpetrator got punished in some way!
And if not yet; Karma will strike once (I hope) ;-)

This isn't exactly a new thing, considering that there was one done for a Guns and Roses song sometime near the launch using the exact same method. Ah well, it's always neat to see more LBP shenanigans.

 

[Covarr]

I have to disagree, this is NOT better than the original.

Still awesome though.

P.S. Thanks

 

[SimuLord]

Life is like a hurricane here on the Escapist. A true duck blur.

EDIT: Also, "twentysomethings"? I guess that makes me twenty-twelve (known to most folks as 32, right on the butt end of Generation X.)

 

[HardRockSamurai]

This brings back memories....

Heh I have to agree, Cool but ^ is what I expected.

 

[cleverlymadeup]

that's a pretty cool video, tho he should have got the sackboy to do the ass slapping dance of Beavis and Butthead, it is possible to do a couple of their dances with sackboy

 

[samsonguy920]

I remember Ducktales, was the last best cartoon I ever watched before saturday mornings became something I just slept through after a long friday night. Seeing LBP used for that just makes it all the more awesome, but I have to agree with certain comrades. The original is still the best.

 

[messy]

LBP, one game I'd get a PS3 for. Not sure if I'd be this good though...
