Capcom's Golden DuckTales Promotional Cartridge Is Actually DuckTales

Capcom sent over a handful of promotional DuckTales: Remastered materials, including a golden DuckTales cartridge that actually has DuckTales on it.

The package came in a DuckTales lunchbox. Inside was the cartridge you see above, as well as some pamphlets laced with duck-related puns.

It was all carefully protected by Scrooge McDuck's packing material of choice: shredded money.

The third bullet on how to take care of your NES cartridges is always the most important.

When we opened the package to find the cartridge, we all assumed it was just a promotional piece of nostalgic plastic. We decided to throw caution into the wind though, and plug it into an NES. We were all surprised when that classic theme started playing.

The gold DuckTales NES cartridge Capcom sent us to promote Remastered is actually DuckTales. https://t.co/EajThSPBlE

This is supremely awesome!

Dudes.... You gotta be kidding me?!? You guys are the "Gurus of Gaming" and no one at the office has a NES?!? Seriously?!? Dude, I got like two or three just laying around my mom's house... Use them as paper weights from time to time... They still work though. SMH... BTW what was that contraption you guys were using to load up the cartridge??? Looks Radio Shack-ish...

Heh, the shredded money. Maybe Capcom used their money to shred in order to protect the cartridge and the pamphlets? :p

You guys get such cool gifts.

Alright just go ahead and mail it to me now.

THAT. IS. AWESOME!

Can I please buy this awesome cartridge to go with my collection of golden Nintendo cases? I have currently Legend of Zelda (NES) Ocarina of Time, and Majoras Mask (N64) in gold cartridges.

That third bullet just set the show's theme song on repeat inside my head. It was long overdue.
by mrsims31 Wednesday, August 07, 2013 at 04:20 PM

That's got to be one of the coolest things a developer has ever sent you... at least from what you've shown us.
by Loser6095 Wednesday, August 07, 2013 at 04:22 PM

Am I the only one who thinks that should be the game's collector's edition?
by matt112986 Wednesday, August 07, 2013 at 04:34 PM

Scrooge McDuck cares for money far too much to shred it and use it as packing material. I'm sure he would try putting it back together.
by Ero_Sennin Wednesday, August 07, 2013 at 04:41 PM

I need this.
by Delicieuxz Wednesday, August 07, 2013 at 04:42 PM

That is awesome. They should offer that for sale for collectors and enthusiastic fans. I bet they'd sell a nice amount.
by Chief Beef Wednesday, August 07, 2013 at 04:48 PM

Aw geez I hope they start selling this.
by ezellh3 Wednesday, August 07, 2013 at 04:50 PM

I need this in my life! How awesome is it that the game cartridge is the actual game?
by Rob K Wednesday, August 07, 2013 at 04:50 PM

Please capcom, sell these!
by Warrior Wednesday, August 07, 2013 at 04:56 PM

WOW!!!
