Later, a separate conversation led to an assumption that Disney would have turned it down pretty quickly regardless of Capcom’s interest. It isn’t the most elaborate story in the world, essentially going from a conversation at E3 to a series of attempts at email communications. He posted both a gameplay video of the “demo” built for the pitch, as well as a second video providing the backstory on what happened. I guess this explains why this tech demo looks so cool.This comes from Simon “Stealth” Thomley himself, who runs Headcannon and was one of the lead programmers on Sonic Mania alongside director Christian Whitehead. Now in case you are not aware of, Stealth is basically Headcannon’s Simon Thomley and Headcannon Games is the team behind the amazing Sonic Mania game. However, we strongly suggest downloading it, especially if you are fans of Ducktales or other 16-bit platformers. Stealth has also released a video showcasing the demo, in case you don’t want to download it, that you can find below. Those interested can download it from here.

The game was made using Headcannon Game Engine and can run on Windows, Linux and Mac. Now I’m pretty sure that Capcom receives a lot of emails from developers trying to pitch their ideas, however this is a really gem that, perhaps, passed unnoticed.

This Darkwing Duck fan game looks retro-cool and is what everyone would expect from a 16-bit game on SNES or Mega Drive/Genesis. Now while the Japanese company did not really bother with it, Stealth decided to release this demo to the public, meaning that you can download and play it right now. YouTube’s ‘Stealth’ has created a tech demo for a 2D Darkwing Duck game that he pitched to Capcom.
