I'm in like the raw egg on sukiyaki.
So hyped for this.
So hyped for this.
Yeah, i will most likely get a 2nd 3DS somewhere down the road that i can play with The price is affordable, so it is more a case of priority for me. I always liked 2D sprite games, so it is nice that they are still being made, and i want to support that.You could always buy another 3DS for gaming if you want to keep the special one in box (perhaps look into second hand market?). Otherwise you're missing out on many great things, pal.
Srsly, best lineup of all the systems so far.Great, great news! The 3DS is going to have an epic year.
I've never played the Mickey Mouse Illusion series, I've only played the Magical Quest on SNES. Does it play anything like that?
The hand-drawn sprites in Power of Illusion are extremely compelling, and, thanks to scrolling parallax backgrounds (a heavily-used graphic technique in the days of 16-bit gaming), reportedly look great in sterescopic 3D. Even better, every level in the game is based on an animated Disney adventure, from "Sleeping Beauty" to "Tangled" and lots in between.
but more interestingly, it's also a follow-up to Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse, a 1990 game for the Sega Genesis!

Can someone confirm if all the following are unique games?
Castle of Illusion: Starring Mickey Mouse (GENESIS)
Castle of Illusion: Starring Mickey Mouse (MASTER SYSTEM)
Land of Illusion: Starring Mickey Mouse (MASTER SYSTEM)
I only have the Master System Castle game, which I really like. Are the others worth getting?

Power of Illusion will make heavy use of the Nintendo 3DS's stylus. By tapping the item icons exist in every level, you'll be able to "paint" (trace) those items into existence, including cliffs, cannons, and floating platforms. The more precisely you trace, the better for Mickey. A flawlessly-painted canon will only damage Mickey's enemies, for instance, but if you mess up the painting, the canon will be a danger to everyone in the area.
I need screens NOW... just hope it's free of the level design issues Monster Tale reportedly had.
Screens?! I need a trailer on my 3DS!
You're gready .
Saw the screenies in NP, looks pretty good.
No. There is a separate article for the 3DS game judging by the cover.Aren't all the screens on NP from the Epic Mickey 2 (PS360Wii) game?
A trailer would be amazing, hopefully we get one really soon. This is going to be good!Hehe, not really. Imagine it as an "Announcement Trailer". Glorious 3D with gorgeous detailed graphics.
Supposedly there are some screens for the 3DS version, which according to people who have seen them, look great.Aren't all the screens on NP from the Epic Mickey 2 (PS360Wii) game?
WHAT
Just got the new NP. This game looks so nice.
Characters in screen shots include Peter Pan, Captain Hook, the Beast, and Scrooge McDuck.
