Darkwing Duck NES is a platform game developed and published by Capcom, released in North America on June 5, 1992. Based on the Disney cartoon, it sends Darkwing Duck after the villains of F.O.W.L. across the city of St. Canard. This listing is the loose NES cartridge.
Capcom made Darkwing Duck as a single-player platform game. The secret agency S.H.U.S.H. asks Darkwing to stop a crime wave in St. Canard. Behind it is F.O.W.L. and its agent Steelbeak.
To reach Steelbeak, you first defeat six villains hired by F.O.W.L. The final battle takes place at F.O.W.L.'s Floating Fortress.
Darkwing's main weapon is his Gas Gun. Along the way he can pick up Thunder, Heavy and Arrow gas, but he can carry only one special gas type at a time. Picking the right gas for each stage and boss is a large part of the strategy.
Reviewers at the time, including Entertainment Weekly, pointed out how much the game plays like Capcom's Mega Man series. If you enjoy those games, the Darkwing Duck cartridge will feel familiar. The game has since been re-released in The Disney Afternoon Collection in 2017 for PC, PS4 and Xbox One, and in 2026 for Nintendo Switch and Switch 2. This listing is the original 1992 NES release.

Amazing game for NES
This is one of my all time favorite NES games. The platforming is fun and not too annoying, and it has plenty of secrets as well. I also like the fact that I can chose my own path for completing levels. It reminds me a little of Mega Man, but I feel like the control over the character is better. If you are still playing NES games or just starting to see what 8 bit gaming was like, pick up this title. You won’t regret it.

Can’t go wrong with Capcom games for NES
I got this game in a lot with Kirbys Dream and Rad Racer and wasn’t sure what to expect. Surprisingly this is a solid NES game. You really can’t seem to go wrong in buying a Capcom game for Nintendo, and this game was no exception. It does bare resmemblance to Mega Man both in graphics and gameplay. Darkwing Duck is equipped with a gun of unlimited ammo and can use his cape as a shield against enemies. Like Mega Man it’s a lot of jumping on platforms, and you can change your weapons in a sub screen. The graphics are actually really good for NES and will remind you again of Mega Man. There are 7 levels with a boss in each one. The bosses aren’t that tough and you can use unlimited continues to restart any level you die on. This is good but the tradeoff is if you shut the game off you have to start over from the beginning. So you’d have to beat the game in one sitting as there are no passwords for later play. It wouldn’t be fair to compare this game to Megaman, or to even call it a knock off of it. On it’s own it’s a great game and it’s actually pretty challenging for a kids game. However, seeing how there’s only 7 levels and unlimited continues the serious gamer could probably blow right through this game. Either way gameplay and graphics won’t let you down on this one.

Game doesn’t work
I got my game, put it in my NES and nothing popped up, went to my friends and tried it there and nothing as well. It looks like the gold teeth where the cartridge makes contact with NES are no good thus the game not showing anything.
