Darkwing Duck is a video game based on the Disney television series Darkwing Duck. The game was developed by Capcom for the NES in 1992 and was ported to the Game Boy in 1993. The Game Boy version is essentially a slightly stripped-down version of the game. A sequel to the game was planned, but for unknown reasons, it was never released.

[edit] Plot
A mysterious crime wave has hit St. Canard and S.H.U.S.H. requires the services of the caped crime fighter Darkwing Duck stop it as it appears that F.O.W.L. and their valued operative Steelbeak is behind the uprising. They have hired six of Darkwing's greatest foes to wreak havok in different areas throughout St. Canard. Darkwing must go and one-by-one stop these criminals in order to find Steelbeak and save the city.
[edit] Gameplay
Like DuckTales before it, the game plays very much like Capcom's Mega Man video game series, with lots of jumping and shooting and the ability to change weapons via a subscreen; the game is actually running on a slightly tweaked Mega Man 5 engine (In fact, there was a pirated hack of this game changing only a little of the game to look like the Japanese version of Mega Man 5, Rockman 5).
[edit] Weapons
Darkwing starts out with a standard gas gun but can collect special adapters that alter its function.
Darkwing can also deflect certain enemy projectives by using his cape. Note, when player protects themselves with their cape they can't fire their gas gun. This problem was fixed in the Game Boy version.
