Retronauts Episode 633: Donald Duck

“That’s Quacktastic!” you, two hours from now

Ice-cold take, surely: Donald Duck’s more fun than Mickey Mouse. I understand why the smiling happy one with big ears became the face of Disney while the raging, pantsless duck did not, but every since I came to know these characters I always marked out harder for Donald than Mickey.

Fortunately, video game developers occasionally looked past the shining corporate mascot for his surlier colleague, resulting in an array of Donald-focused interactive experience. To cry fair or fowl on these releases, host Stuart Gipp reaches out to Thomas Nickel and John Linneman to assess Donald’s game resume.

Description: Quacking the case! Throwing an apoplectic tantrum about that most Disneyest of ducks with host Stuart Gipp and guests Thomas Nickel and John Linneman.
