If only the remake would be Epic Mickey themed (and maybe similar in graphics style to those in the 3DS game). Either way, I'm interested!

I'd rather have them try to keep the style a bit more like the Mickey Mouse of that era, rather than the modern design seen in the latest cartoon:


Not that I think the style is bad, I actually like the style in those cartoons and Epic Mickey. But I feel like the design from back then would be a better fit for this game.

The original version on the Master System was my first video-game, shortly followed by Sonic.
Shut up and take my money !

I think world of illusion is much better... They should remake that, or the sms version, instead.

Do want.

Castle Of Illusion is one of my favorite Genesis games. A World Of Illusion remake would be awesome too, but I'm quite content with a Castle Of Illusion remake/remaster.

[SomeSortOfRobot]

Personally, I would have ditched Castle of Illusion and head straight to World.

Assuming this IS a remake, of course.

Teaser Trailer:

I'm surpised that a downloadable SEGA game has the marketing budget for a CG teaser. Anyway, nice teaser. Though I'd rather have SEGA reveal it instead seeing how it's been leaked already.

Oh Man,

Those soldiers and that apple, all of the memories come flooding back.

I will look at getting it if it is a remake, oh man, I sure am excited now.

All they need to do is remake Quackshot and then my classic Disney Megadrive childhood will be complete.

Actually, Epic Mickey is pretty much close to this. By that I meant I would like Mickey to look like the classic one. Without the skin color and all that. I'm not a fan of the "modern" cartoon Mickey Mouse people know now (and the Mickey presented in these games originally)

I know, and since Epic Mickey regular Mickey Mouse stuff (that's not Mickey Mouse Clubhouse) looks like the classic cartoons, like in Epic Mickey. I think both designs are fine, but just that for Castle of Illusion the one that would work best is the design from around that time, at least if they'd want to be faithful to the original. Then again, in the teaser you can see that Mizrabel doesn't look like the witch from Snow White (like in Castle of Illusion) nor Maleficent (in Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion), so it seems like they're not sticking too close to the source material. So if they're going that route, I think either one of Mickey's designs would be fine.

Also it isn't Playstation exclusive, the video is just uploaded on the Playstation channel (which is why only the PS3 logo is shown).

The best part is how grateful Sega and Disney are for Sega Studios Australia's services that Sega is going to shut them down later this year.
