Break the fourth wall with your DS stylus and annoy a cartoon duck

Yeah yeah yeah, licensed game lol. But this one's got a damn cool idea. Remember the classic cartoon Duck Amok? Sure ya do. It's the one where an animator's pencil draws all sorts of crazy things onto Daffy Duck for seven minutes. Well, apparently a new game from Warner Bros. interactive for the DS will let you be that animator's pencil.

Fuck yes. I have no idea if the execution will live up to it, but I'm damned happy someone's trying.

Developed by WayForward Technologies, Looney Tunes: Duck Amuck asks players to compete against Daffy in a series of mini-game challenges. Players will work their way through several mini-games while pestering the crap out of the irritable Daffy. The game is set to feature wireless ad hoc multiplayer, allowing players to team-up against Daffy, or battle each other in head-to-head competitions.

    This is gonna rock so hard. I am a bit dissapointed that it is only minigames, as it would've been cool to see Daffy try to get through a platformer sequence or something whilst you tormented him...

    Or better yet, multiplayer where one person was the cartoonist, and the other was Daffy, trying to escape said cartoonist.

    I'm really looking forward to the day where I can draw a tunnel wall on a sheer rock face, allow a speeding bird to pass through, then having a coyote slam into it at high speed.

    That or stop, check to see if it's real and have him run over by a train of my choosing.

    While waiting for that, I will play the hell out of this.

    And how.

    My god, I know that it's heavily dosed with nostalgia, but I can't remember the last time I've been so entertained a cartoon like that. I remembered vritually every line of dialogue.

    It should be mandatory to show Duck Amuck and What's Opera, Doc (aka "Kill the Wabbit") in all public and private schools.

    Also there's that one about the dog and the kitten where the dog thinks the kitten was killed and made into cookies. I used to cry because of that cartoon. The dog puts the kitten cookie on his back and gets really sad. :cry: It's not really a bugs bunny cartoon though.

    D: Yeah, watching it again now ... it's strange out of context. Still, it's better than a knock-off anime rip-off, and at least you get some classical music exposure.

    Anyway, to the Duck Amuck game -- it's really one of those ideas that makes complete sense and should have been done way earlier. I don't know how successful it'll be if it's slopped off as a shovelware job, but one never knows.

    Both classics. In fact, I'd say Rabbit of Seville is better than What's Opera Doc.... What's Opera is clever and pretty, but never actually funny. Rabbit of Seville is effin' hilarious yet every bit as classy.

    Was that flash released by WB interactive? I could see someone whipping that up in flash relatively fast, although maybe not that good. The lack of promo stuff, watermarks, the like lead me to believe it's suspect.

    This reminds me just how far Looney Tunes has fallen from grace. You can still catch the old cartoons on TV, and they still stand up today. Take for instance the old Foghorn Leghorn bits. Still hilarious. I saw one of the newer made ones (don't know how new, but they were referencing The Matrix among other stuff, so recent) and it was just so... vapid and soulless. No joy at all. Even the Road Runner/Coyote stuff was off. It really bummed me out and pity them as I reached for the remote.

    I remember reading something Chuck Jones apparently said. In that a true test of a cartoon is that you should be able to watch it with the sound completely off, and still get every joke. And I know for a fact that's true, because one time I was at this bar, they had the old cartoons playing on the TV for some bizzare reason. Even without being able to hear a sound, they were still pure gold.

    If I'm remembering right, both of those are awesome. The Falling Hare one ends where the plane doesn't crash because it runs out of gas right?

    I was also a big fan of the Bugs-Taz and Daffy-Taz pairings and any of the older Road Runner shorts. The newer ones just don't seem to have 'it' whatever the hell 'it' was :rotate:
