Let me tell you about a website called Google

Go on...

Screenshot is truly Epic for those who loved the 16bit games

I'd say: It's the Disney equivalent of Megaman 9. It just feels *right*.

 

[Snaku]

It's....wonderful.

 

[thomasos]

IT IS ..... BEAUTIFUL !!!!!!

edit : I think we should ask the mods to open an exception to these scans ... because THEY ARE GODLIKE and it is a SIN not to share this to THE WORLD !!!
IT CAN BRING WORLD PEACE !!!!

You know, a subscription to NP is only 20 bucks per year.

 

[Platy]

WAIT !

Wikipedia is telling that Land of Illusion for Master System is a SEQUEL of Castle of Illusion for Mega Drive.

HOW DOES THAT WORK ?

I mean .. it is like making God of War 4 and release it to the Playstation 2 !

The brazilian version of NP is laughable compared to the original

just saw the screens...

As someone who grew up playing the early Sega and Capcom Disney games on their respective systems........ wow! :O

I'm from a country where the Master System above all else was king for awhile there, for many years I had no idea Castle of Illusion even came out on Mega Drive. Thought it was just a Master System series until World Of Illusion which was the 'big zomg 16bit entry' lol.

It's weird that Captain Hook's hook is on the wrong hand.

also, lol at Scrooge standing there with a pissed off expression and waiting for Mickey to come over. Move your ass, Mickey

Basically the best underwater music ever made. I remember it melting my brain when I was 10. World of Illusion was the first Genesis game I bought "myself". Good times.

 

[GWX]

Just saw the scans, and I liked what I saw. A lot.

 

[RedSwirl]

Didn't realize we had screens of Peter Pan & Beauty and the Beast.

 

[Anth0ny]

Those screenshots.

are fucking beautiful.

 

[thebeeks]

Yes, yes. This pleases me.

 

[lowrider007]

So are those scans really 3DS in game footage?

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Aspect ratio definitely makes it seem highly likely.

 

[Anasui Kishibe]

I can't possibly think of another source

 

[lowrider007]

I can't possibly think of another source

But the original post said 'hand-drawn sprites' and 'scrolling parallax backgrounds', the scans don't seem to fit, I thought this was going to be 2D?

I'm dubious about those scans tbh.

TAKE ME MONEY!

... I don't think you're looking at the right scans because the ones we've all seen fit the bill to the letter.

 

[Anasui Kishibe]

^yeah, there's scrolling parallax and what seem to be hand drawn sprites, and it's definitely 2D. Maybe you're looking at the Epic Mickey 2 ones

 

[lowrider007]

Yeah your right, cheers, just me being an idiot.

You're looking at Wii/PS3/360/PC version screenshots, i.e. Epic Mickey: The Power of Two, not scans of the 3DS games, Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion.

 

[celebi23]

Finally found the screens. Damn, I'm getting flashbacks to the early '90's

 

[ViewtifulJC]

I have seen things

Batman approved

 

[lowrider007]

I found them, A M A Z I N G, so much nostalgia came flooding back to me looking at those screens, this honestly looks like the definitive version imo, when is this supposed to be coming out?

 

[The Wheel of Fortune]

Yay! Just found the screens (And on a board of a completely unrelated franchise/mascot, come to think about it ).

It's funny that, although I'm sure the last screen is concept art, it looks pretty similar to the actual gameplay screens. The game looks great, I wonder what other series/characters will we get aside from Peter Pan, The Sleeping Beauty(screens) and Tangled(announced). I wish they sold that magazine where I live...

 

[Cow Mengde]

I found the screens and I think some of the sprites looked a little weird; like they don't fit in with the background. This could be because they're scans and not direct feed though. Even with that aside, it looks very nice.

 

[Lijik]

Those screens are pretty as fuck, holy shit

 

[Fuu]

Wow, I wasn't paying close attention and I didn't expect this game to look like this when it was announced. This is pretty sweet.

 

[The Technomancer]

Even better, every level in the game is based on an animated Disney adventure, from "Sleeping Beauty" to "Tangled" and lots in between.

Now thats what I'm talking about

EDIT: The scans look great. How was the level design in Monster Tale? I thought Hatsworth had decent design but it was a very different type of game from what I expect this will be.

 

[Anasui Kishibe]

backtracking was harsh, but it was competent enough. I had fun playing it

 

[Hero of Legend]

One thing I'm curious about. Is the game titled "Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion" or "Epic Mickey 2: Power of Illusion"? There's no consistency between various sites reporting it, even NP's preview page lacks it, for both titles IIRC.

I'd prefer it without the 2, as it does make it seem like a me too game, where as lacking it makes it its own entry.

Edit: Actually, NP's site shows the 3DS game without the 2:

http://nintendopower.com/

Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two & Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion

Edit: Yet the TOC lacks the 2 for both:

When our cover story went to press, neither the Wii nor the 3DS game had a "2" attached to them. That's obviously changed for the console game, so we added the "2" to our web preview to reflect that. I don't know whether Power of Illusion will have a "2" added to it or not.

 

[Hero of Legend]

When we checked out the games for our cover story, neither the Wii nor the 3DS game had a "2" attached to them at the time. That's obviously changed for the console game.

Are you able to reach out to Disney to clarify?

You forgot the 'Disney' part.

 

[MadOdorMachine]

Has anyone else noticed that it looks like you can enter the paintings/worlds from a castle hub like in Mario 64?

 

[sn00zer]

So it looks like a SEGA game and this is exciting? Rayman has spoiled me

 

[NTom64]

Read the info, saw the scans, experienced a wave of nostalgia that hit harder than anything I've felt in the past few years.

God I need to get a 3DS by the time this comes out. Think I'll just play World of Illusion on an endless loop until it releases lol. How were the other Illusion games, by the way? I've only ever played World (as far as I can remember, anyway).

 

[Criminal Upper]

I remember being 17.

 

[Baby Yoshi]

I cant believe the secondary outsourced portable version of a game looks more promising than the main version.

 

[randomkid]

Need to see real screenshots and not scans but looks very promising and promise of parallax makes my heart flutter, I kept an eye on Hatsworth and Monster Tale and hope this turns out well. The main awesome thing is that the 3DS hasn't completely killed 2D at retail, this is the first fully sprite-based 2D game announcement for 3DS I can recall and I hope there's more.

I was a huge Mickey Mania fan, can anyone tell me how Castle of Illusion is better or what makes it special? Old screens people posted look nice.

[@MUWANdo]

Terrible. People tend to cut it slack because it looks okay, or because it's a metroidvania, or whatever, but man, the map design suuuuuuuucked. Hatsworths wasn't fantastic either but Monster Tale was on a whole other level.

 

[Kunan]

Maybe THIS was what Iwata was talking about when he said that 3DS sales have convinced also Western companies to develop interesting things on the platform...

Combined with the report that they are working to revive classic 3rd party franchises... http://www.computerandvideogames.com/336624/nintendo-reviving-third-party-classics-for-3ds/

I hope this is just the beginning of what we will see

this just became my most anticipated game this year.
