I'm super mixed about the use of 3D models and everything but I'm still hyped for this.

I would've said this was the best remake ever if they had gone with a Rayman origins/Wario land: shake it route with drawn animation for Mickey and the enemies, since I guess the 3D model makes me think of that Mickey Mouse Gamecube game? Or even that show which is in 3D and really child oriented and all.

I can't really complain though, everyone in my family knows this game more than Sonic, whenever I play the Mega Drive they ask if they can play Castle of Illusion.

HOLY SHIT.

This is not just an HD sprite remix, this is a full HD remaster!

Its...so beautiful...



...I cannot wait for this. I want it NOW.

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.

I hope that doesn't mean they know the game plays like ass or that it's bug-ridden...

Looks good for a 3D game, but yeah, I also feel it might have worked better as hand-drawn.

The developer's past is a bit mixed, though that could partially be blamed for what SEGA had them make. They made Medieval II: Total War, which is supposedly fantastic. After that they made Stormrise, which is an RTS for consoles. It works as well as it sounds. Their last game was the official London Olympics 2012 game (not the Mario & Sonic one), which I guess was decently received for an Olympics game. I don't know if they made any other games.

So it's not really clear what to expect from the developer. They're working with the director of the original game though.

Grant Kirkhope just Tweeted saying he did the music for it.

YES.

Looks cheaply made... but then, I guess most downloadable XBLA/PSN games from Sega do.

On the plus side, Disney Interactive are unlikely to allow Mickey Mouse to star in something outstandingly awful

Mickey looks so good there. I love that his video game appearances for the most part do that weird thing with his ears.

I've never played the original but this is looking good, plus Grant Kirkhope is involved so I'll probably be getting this.

You say that like there have been no bad Mickey Mouse games.

But? But??


Seriously, it's a pretty cool game that you should try if you enjoy old-school platformers.

Well, you've convinced me, haha. I do remember playing a Mickey Mouse game on the Sega Genesis that had a Steamboat Willie level, though.

That's Mickey Mania which is also pretty alright, although the second level (The Mad Doctor) is notoriously long and difficult due to it originally being one of the later levels, but they moved it to second because they wanted it in chronological order of when the cartoons were released.

That's Mickey Mania, also known as Mickey's Wild Adventure on the PS1 (which is the version I own). I liked it back when I was a kid, I'm not sure if it still holds up.

Watching the trailer again, Mickey looks pretty badly animated in it, especially when he reacts to the lightning. I hope this isn't a reflection of how the actual game is animated.

There's honestly not that many. Both Mickey and Donald have an unusually high success rate when it comes to video games (particularly when you take Kingdom Hearts into account) - Disney don't whore out their characters as much as other companies.

From what I understand there's some tat on the GameCube and the 80s wasn't pleasant, but we've had Sega, Capcom, Rare and Travellers Tales making Mickey games over the years. I don't know if any really reach the stage of outstanding excellence but it would be wrong for me to call them "bad"

True, looking back Mickey and Donald video games have always ranged from mediocre to great.
