She was very excited by the proposal, and ended up being involved in the vision of the new game. Disney was totally on board, so we then contacted the original creator, Emiko Yamamoto-san, who actually works for Disney of Japan now, as an executive producer. So we looked at our catalogue of games, and obviously the original Castle of Illusion is one of the best games from the Mega Drive and Genesis era, so we chose that. Initially, we were unsure what it would be-we just knew that we wanted to do a project together, to make a Disney game. Omar Woodley, Sega Studios Australia: We were actually talking to Disney, about two years ago, about doing a collaboration. So, how did all this this come about exactly? Siliconera caught up with the latter game’s producer, Omar Woodley of Sega Studios Australia, on the show floor of E3 to ask how and why. And not long after came another bombshell from Sega-that they, too, were giving an old Disney classic the HD treatment with Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse. There is several other level design changes that make this game feel like a more unique experience even if you’ve already played the original.Fans of old school Disney platformers were shocked to hear that Capcom was resurrecting the NES classic DuckTales for modern consoles a few months back. Instead of making Mickey run and jump from left to right, this section is now in 3D where he has to run towards the screen while at the same time trying to dodge any obstacles in his way. The Indiana Jones-like segment where Mickey is being chased by a huge apple at the end of the first level has been overhauled. Other elements that make the remake stand apart from the original are some redesigned levels to make the gameplay feel more dramatic. I didn’t have that problem while playing the remake as I was able to jump on top of enemies quite easily. I played a bit of the original game and somehow kept getting hit by the enemies even though I was (supposedly) jumping on top of them. One of the improvements that I liked the most from the remake is the overall physics in terms of Mickey Mouse’s jumping ability. Not to mention Mickey Mouse has his iconic voice in the remake too.Ĭastle of Illusion translates very well to a 3D environment, although most of the gameplay is played via a 2.5D perspective.

The graphics have been upgraded to full 3D, the music has been totally remade and the cartoon cutscenes give the game a more cinematic feel. Whereas the original had 2D graphics, simple cutscenes and music, the remake throws that all away to give you a more modern experience. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, although it’s not really giving us a new experience either.Ĭastle of Illusion on the other hand, is a totally new experience that is somewhat unrecognizable from the original Genesis classic. Everything from the gameplay, music and even the cutscenes has all remained the same. Most of them are just “HD†upgrades o the original visuals. Recent remakes of popular video games aren’t what I would call a proper “remakeâ€. Does it succeed?įind out as we take a look at the HOTs and NOTs of Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse. While there have been several remakes being made over the years, this game feels a lot different because more effort was made to make this stand out on its own. There’s nothing wrong with Mickey Mouse himself, it was just the game’s controls and overall gameplay that made it a horrible experience.Ĭastle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse is now out and is a remake from the classic Sega Genesis that came out way back in 1990.
