![]() ![]() Look out for our developer interviews and behind the scenes videos to catch the Sega Studios Australia team and members of the original game development team share their experience working on Castle of Illusion. ![]() If you have played the original game, you will also see that we have kept intact many of the major iconic elements of the game that helped define this groundbreaking game at the time of its original release. ![]() We are having a blast working with her to realize many of the elements that were intended for the original game, but couldn’t be achieved until now due to the technical limitations of previous generation consoles.

Mickey Mouse returns to star in Castle of Illusion, a fantastical reimagining of the Sega Genesis classic. Our plan is to deliver a fully reimagined experience that takes advantage of the power of PS3 with all new graphics and new adventures, while at the same time making sure that the game maintains the Disney magic that the original Castle of Illusion captured in 1990. Sega studios Australia is putting lots of care into this new 2D/3D game. We know that Castle of Illusion has a special place in many gamers’ hearts. The game is scheduled to release in summer of 2013. However, the core gameplay beneath the endearing Disney aesthetic left me wanting more.Mickey Mouse is returning to star in Castle of Illusion, a fantastical HD reimagining of the classic Sega Genesis game.

Despite the solid controls, the action in Castle of Illusion isn’t exciting. Whether bounding off the heads of toy soldiers in 2D or evading a huge jack-in-the-box in 3D, the platforming feels responsive and reliable.

The most drastic difference is the inclusion of 3D boss fights and platforming sequences. It also incorporates checkpoints and generous retries, which curbs most of the original’s challenge. Sega’s new downloadable remake of the aforementioned Genesis platformer outperforms those titles, but it ends up feeling formulaic by modern standards.Ĭastle of Illusion isn’t a one-to-one remake of the original, but it features familiar levels, bosses, and side-scrolling platforming sequences.
