I think Genshin releasing Xianyun, and then me playing Undertale Yellow for the first time, and then immediately afterwards getting back into Ducktales is God telling me to learn how to freaking draw birds.

For the duck reference sheets do you have any of Goldie I’d love to doodle some ducks but can’t draw without a reference to save my life :D

Sure.

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find any more model sheets related to Goldie from the comics and Ducktales 1987, so I only have these pictures. Interestingly, the first picture shows the prototype Glittering Goldie (Goldie O'Gilt) drawn by Carl Barks before he wrote "Back to the Klondike". Also, the third image shows Goldie who was supposed to be in the Ducktales Remastered game, but unfortunately didn't appear. The second and fourth are sketches of Goldie drawn by Don Rosa. Also, there's this link on how to draw Goldie from the Carl Barks comic: https://www.drawingtutorials101.com/how-to-draw-glittering-goldie-from-ducktales-printable

I hope you're happy with this and I'm glad you asked. :D

Of course, this can be used by others as well, how to draw ducks in the right way.

Dracula Duck 2017 redesign. Pretty underrated character who only appeared in two games.

Surprises and takeaways from Capcom's "Platinum Titles" list

I never knew that Capcom maintains a list of every title they've ever produced that sold over a million units -- complete with how many units that game sold. But they do, and they just updated it! And it's fascinating!

There are currently 113 games on the list, although the way they arrange some of this stuff is INCREDIBLY specious. Like: Resident Evil 4 for GameCube and PS2, Resident Evil 4 for Wii, and Resident Evil 4 for download on PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Xbox Series AND Switch? Those are three separate entries despite being ports of the exact same goddamn game! Like, if you're gonna do THAT, why is the PS2 version listed alongside the GC version?!

Whatever, peeps. Here are some highlights of the list:

The top two items on the list are Monster Hunter games: World and Rise. Of course. But Monster Hunter World: Iceborne is listed as its own separate game at #5. Kinda odd.

Resident Evil fans regularly decry Resident Evil 6 as one of the worst in the series. Despite this, it's also in Capcom's top 10 best-selling games EVER. (For some reason, the list piles every single version of RE6 into one entry, unlike so many other games here). It's #7. And it's the third-best-selling Resident Evil game to date, too!

Best-selling RE game? Resident Evil 7. It's #3 on Capcom's list. But Resident Evil 2 remake is RIGHT behind it, and it might surpass it soon. Overall, when you look at the entire list, it's hard to deny that Resident Evil is the most popular franchise that Capcom's got. Damn near every spinoff series is represented herein — as well as some one-off side games.

Only ONE game makes the Top 10 that isn't either a "Monster Hunter" or a "Resident Evil." That would be Street Fighter V, sitting pretty at #9.

In fact, there's ALSO only ONE game in the entire Top 25 that isn't a "Monster Hunter," "Resident Evil," OR a "Street Fighter." It's the one and only Devil May Cry 5 at #11!

Now it's time for "Games that are often called failures that still are on the Platinum Titles list celebrating their sales." We already mentioned Resident Evil 6 above, but how about Remember Me at #85? 1.3 million units sold for a brand-new IP from a largely unknown developer is FUCKING GREAT. And do you remember how negatively Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite was received? EVO barely even had a tournament for it. But it's the second-highest seller in its series, with its #52 placement putting it only five spaces behind MvC3. (Ultimate MvC3 is, of course, its own entry on the list. Sigh.) Guess it did QUITE all right for Capcom. Also: Bionic Commando reboot isn't far behind Remember Me at #87 with its own 1.3 million cited sales. But I understand that they probably spent more on that and expected even more because of the name recognition. It wasn't a new IP, sure. Maybe you expected more from the name brand. But what about that widely maligned DmC: Devil May Cry reboot? Well, with 2.9 million sales in its initial release and another 1.3 million for its Definitive Edition, it's the second-highest-selling Devil May Cry game EVER. Only DMC5 topped it. But I guess those sales don't put it very high above DMC4's, which was probably disappointing given that a reboot was meant to reinvigorate the series. Even so, kinda seems REALLY silly to call that number a failure, huh? "Biggest seller in the franchise" is a success by ANYONE's measurements. Maybe Capcom just had stupidly unrealistic expectations, Square Enix-style. :P

We already covered the top-selling games from Street Fighter, Resident Evil, Monster Hunter, and Devil May Cry. So let's cover some other big Capcom franchises to see how their best-selling entries performed... under the below cut, that is.

I guess being a launch title for the XB1 helped Dead Rising 3 be the biggest in the series despite being absent from PlayStation systems, because it's at #27. And if they included "Apocalypse Edition" in that same entry, it'd have another million under its belt!

The original Dino Crisis made #42 counting ONLY its PS1 version, so it would logically be even higher if they counted the Dreamcast release. And Dino Crisis 2 ALSO made the Platinum list at #97! With all that in mind: Where's my fucking remake/new sequel?!?!

Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny is at #49 with 2.1 million sold, and the first one not isn't far behind it at #54 — ONLY counting the PS2 release, notably. Would it beat Onimusha 2 if they included the Xbox port "Genma Onimusha" in those sales?

I have a bizarre amount of affection for the Lost Planet series. Alas, my it's my least-favorite entry — Lost Planet 2 — that barely squeezes into the top 50 at #50 with 2.1 million sold. And my fav entry, LP3, isn't even on the list! At least part 1 made it to #67... but that only counts the 360 and PC release. For some reason, PS3 isn't counted in that total.

Okami HD first released on PS3. But in a blatant instance of Bullshit Accounting, its entry on the Platinum Titles list only includes the PS4, Xbox One, and Switch ports. And that's not even getting into the fact that it's just an uprezzed port of the PS2 game that already had a Wii port. Neither of those versions are counted here either, but this shitty accounting made #51 anyway. By the way, if you're wondering about that original SD version? Or even its oft-forgotten squel, Okamiden? They're nowhere to be found here.

Ace Attorney finally hits Platinum with #53 — the Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy for PS4, Switch, and PC. Yup, for some reason they didn't include the 3DS, Xbox One, or mobile releases of the trilogy in that total, which... is fucking stupid as shit. God, I'm quickly getting SO sick of the idiotic accounting on this list.

It's questionable whether Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen should really be a separate entry from vanilla Dragon's Dogma, but Dark Arisen is the champ of the two at #55 with 2 million sold. Wait... Dragon's Dogma gets a sequel with those sales, but y'all have abandoned Dino Crisis, Onimusha, and Lost Planet?! What the hell, Capcom?

My personal favorite Capcom series, Mega Man, hit a series high in sales with Mega Man 11, which is (sadly) only at #65. Given that Mega Man is such a goddamn icon, that scarcely seems possible. And yet? Here we are. Somehow.

The original NES port of Ghosts 'n Goblins marks the highest showing for the Ghousts/Goblins/Ghouls franchise at #68, boasting 1.64 million in sales. It's surprising to see it's the top-seller from Capcom's NES glory days! The only other entry from this franchise to make the list is the SNES classic Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts, which is down at #107.

Capcom has a great history of excellent games based on Disney properties. The top-tier DuckTales Remastered is the biggest hit of the lot, though, and it wasn't even developed in-house by Capcom. Regardless, it sold 1.5 million units and rests at #73. Makes you wonder why the NES sequel never got its own "Remastered" incarnation...

The SNES port of Final Fight was famously compromised, but it still sold more than any other part of the series with 1.48 million units getting it to #74. It's a shame they don't include all the OTHER many ports of the arcade original in here... not even "Final Fight Guy." :P But at least Final Fight 2 managed to squeeze onto the list to give FF a second piece of representation. You'll find it at #109.

Whether people count Bionic Commando and Commando as part of the same series tends to vary by region AND by the continuity you're talking about. But the "Bionic" reboot from 2009 reaches #87 here, and the NES port of Commando cracks the list at #104.

The badass Strider Hiryu manages to make the list at #90 courtesy of the 2014 reboot simply titled Strider.

I Beat Two Games this Weekend

I finished two video games this weekend and I figured that I would talk about them. I have been going in-depth about certain video games here but sometimes just a quick review is fun too.  Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart (2021) When I was a kid, we got ourselves a PlayStation 2 which was a great and formative period in video game history. Games suddenly had story and voice acting along with fun…
