Ben-DutkaRemakes, re-imaginings, and reboots of classic titles and franchises have become awfully trendy over the past few years.
Just in the past few weeks, we've seen the announcement of a new remastered Ducktales as well as the recent unveiling of VectorCell's upcoming revamp of the 90s classic, Flashback .
Now it seems another is coming our way, if a new teaser trailer from Sega is any indication. You can see it below; it's only 37 seconds but it seems clear they're giving us a peek at a re-release of Castle of Illusion , a classic Disney platformer designed by Sega's Shinobi team. It launched for the Sega Genesis back in 1990 and it featured the Disney icon battling toy soldiers and Mizrabel, the shape-shifting villain. We get a glimpse of those soldiers and Mizrabel in this trailer, so the announcement is probably inevitable.
The game is apparently set for "summer 2013" and it'll likely be a downloadable title. I want to see a remake of the other Genesis game with Mickey and Donald…what was it? Land of Illusion or something like that? They used a cape to swipe at enemies, and I distinctly remember an "Alice in Wonderland" level… So much fun!
But Mickey Mouse sucks
They have to remake Mickey Mania: The Timeless Adventures of Mickey Mouse.
Oh! That has to be the first trailer this year to give me goosebumps! So excited for this!
And the name of the other game is 'World of Illusion' if they remake that game and keep the co-op I will take back every complaint I have ever made about the lack of co-op (apart from in FPS's) this gen. The game is utterly phenomenal and full of imagination. One level you explore this book shelf where you have to jump on paint, rulers perfume bottles to spray a pathway. But the best part is where you jump in a cookie tin and your taken to a magical land or dairy – platforming at it's finest.
