Mickey, much like Scrooge in DuckTales Remastered, has clearly benefited from modern tech, with his animation being a bit closer to Disney’s level of quality than what was feasible on technology at the time. There’s another in which the entire environment is turned upside, but that’s actually present in the Genesis game. Some gameplay trailers show a segment in which Mickey runs towards the camera, which is something the original game did not have (and which I did not personally participate in). Instead of going just left and right, or up and down, the viewpoint will move diagonally or do 45-degree turns. Though the revamped Castle of Illusion pushes the envelope a bit further, mostly in the form of dramatic camera movements. It’s also a 2D platformer that has been given the 2.5D treatment, which is to say that the backgrounds are fully rendered in polygons and have a considerable more degree of depth than what was allowable before. Castle of Illusion HD as it is called appears to be another straightforward port of a beloved classic, with some added, more contemporary gameplay elements added for good measure.

And also did well enough to inspire follow-ups, plus a tribute in the form of Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion.Īnd like DuckTales, Castle of Illusion is getting the HD treatment as well. While never reaching the heights of popularity that DuckTales and similar offerings achieved-mostly due to the fact that it pre-dates the first Sonic the Hedgehog, which is when people finally began embracing Sega’s 16-bit console-it still has an intensely loyal following.
One of these is Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse, which graced the Genesis. Yet, there are plenty of other strong memories, too, of other Disney platformers from that approximate era. For them, a cornerstone of their childhood was helping Uncle Scrooge traverse the globe, and collecting treasure to help fill his money bin. When Capcom announced that they were reviving and updating the beloved NES classic DuckTales for today’s consoles, many thirty-something gamers were delighted by the news.
