DuckTales 2 is a 1993 platform game developed and published by Capcom for the Nintendo Entertainment System. The game was ported to the Game Boy handheld system in Japan and North America the same year. DuckTales 2 is a sequel to DuckTales, and is based on the Disney's animated TV series of the same name. Just like in the 1989 predecessor, the story involves Scrooge McDuck traveling around the globe collecting treasure. The player can freely choose levels to explore, similar to Mega Man series. The game also features new elements like option to revisit a level or additional collecting pieces of a map of the lost treasure of McDuck.

The game was included in The Disney Afternoon Collection compilation for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One released in April 2017.

What the critics said

  • The console version was generally well-received, with Nintendo Power praising the title's "great play control and graphics", but remarked that it was "more of the same" when compared to the original.

    — Nintendo Power, 1993

  • GamePro similarly felt that "if it's more of the same you want, DuckTales 2 delivers", adding that the game "is fun while it lasts, but it's too short", nonetheless recommending it to new players.

    — GamePro, 1993

  • GamePro, however, felt that the game was a faithful port of the console version, applauding its "sharp, clean graphics, innovative gameplay and engrossing storyline".

    — GamePro, 1993
