No belated April Fools jokes here. Wayforward and Disney Interactive have just released DuckTales Remastered onto the App Store.

This remake of the NES classic (and game with one of the best soundtracks of the era) includes a new art style, 3D backgrounds, difficulty tweaks, tutorials, voice acting, expanded levels, unlockable art galleries, and so on. It was also something of a hit on consoles when it came out last year; and now it's on iOS.

We'll have a review ready later today, but if you just can't wait you can download DuckTales Remastered right now for $9.99.

Shantae: Risky's Revenge is probably one of the most well-regarded handheld platformers that doesn't star an Italian plumber. And right now the full version is totally free to download.

So you might want to bellydance your way over to the App Store and get it now while the getting's good.

Shantae: Risky's Revenge gives players a chance to enjoy the "hair-whipping, belly dancing, and monster slaying action" for free, for a limited time only. Take the role of Shantae, a half-genie that sets out through dangerous lands to battle against monsters and bosses. She even has magical attacks that players are able to learn, and can also brew zombie coffee! That's right, zombie coffee! Time for me to go get some!

Fans of old-school sidescrollers rejoice. After releasing an ominous teaser image a few days ago, Wayforward Technologies has announced that Shantae: Risky's Revenge is coming soon to iOS devices. According to a report on TouchArcade, Shantae was originally released on the DSi download store in 2010, going on to win several awards - it was considered by many to be one of the best games on the system period.

Initially conceived as an episodic series, Risky's Revenge is sequel to the first Shantae, released on the Game Boy Color in 2002. This side scrolling platformer takes cues from games like Castlevania and Metroid. Players control Shantae, a half-genie with whip-like hair and the ability to transform into a monkey, a elephant and a mermaid. Using these powers, she traverses the land fighting monsters and the dreaded pirate Risky Boots.

There are few changes coming to the upcoming port. In addition to getting new touch controls the level design itself is being changed to accommodate the new input. For example, platforms are now wider making precise jumping easier. Owners of iOS devices have a great new game to look forward to.
