The lights are on
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.

That is all kinds of awesome...
wow
This is supremely awesome!
You guys get such cool gifts.
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.
That's got to be one of the coolest things a developer has ever sent you... at least from what you've shown us.
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.
I need this.
That is awesome. They should offer that for sale for collectors and enthusiastic fans. I bet they'd sell a nice amount.
Aw geez I hope they start selling this.
I need this in my life! How awesome is it that the game cartridge is the actual game?
Please capcom, sell these!
WOW!!!
