Capcom Remastering DuckTales Game

jones_supa writes "Many Slashdotters are probably aware of the 1989 Nintendo Entertainment System platformer classic DuckTales (video, designed around the Disney cartoon series. Capcom announced today at their PAX East panel that they are resurrecting the beloved game. Developed by Wayforward and Capcom, DuckTales: Remastered is something of a remake based on the original version. The embedded video shows some solid back-to-basics platformer action. The game will be out this summer for Xbox Live, PSN, and Wii U."

Ironically, your comment had a similar effect on the geeky part of my brain.

You'd apparently posted a "reply" to something SCPRedMage said, which confused me briefly- nothing in their comment bore any relation to what was quoted and "replied to". I couldn't see any hidden comments, so... WTF was up with the nesting?

Until I twigged that your comment *had* been posted in that position but had nothing to do with the "parent"- you were in fact quoting (and addressing) the summary, but hadn't posted it as a top-level reply.

Hmm. This would have absolutely *nothing* to do with the fact that posting your comment in its correct (top level, end of thread chronological) position would have been much less favourable to its prominence than as an off-topic "reply" to the highest-placed "leaf comment" in the thread... would it?
