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.
