Capcom's DuckTales sequel on Game Boy. Five new levels (mine, island, etc.), the pogo-stick still royal, extra gadgets. Slightly harder, slightly less inspired than the first, but still an excellent Game Boy platformer. Chain it right after the first DuckTales without hesitation.

Still signed by Capcom, the sequel unfurls lively, singing chiptune themes, perfectly in tune with Scrooge's wanderings. Each level has its catchy refrain, charging the rhythm of the treasure hunt. This joyful 8-bit energy, faithful to the first game, keeps a perfectly intact charm.
DuckTales 2, the American version of the acclaimed sequel to the Capcom platformer on Game Boy. Although more widely distributed than its PAL equivalent, it stays sought for the game's unanimously praised quality and its place in a pair of titles that became a genre reference on the console. Its desirability lies in that acknowledged excellence and the sustained demand from collectors of portable Capcom and Disney games.
Is DuckTales 2 still worth playing in 2026?
DuckTales 2 extends Capcom's masterpiece with five new levels, enhanced cane moves and more secrets to uncover. The formula stays just as brilliant, the pogo bounce as satisfying as ever, and the level design gains subtlety with hidden passages and collectibles. A touch less striking than the first simply through repetition, it remains nonetheless an excellent platformer, polished and generous. Worth recommending without hesitation to fans of the genre and all who loved the first entry.
