| Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion Revisits a Classic Platformer Premise Posted: 24 Sep 2012 06:00 AM PDT When retro game enthusiasts talk about the miserable licensed games that found their way on the NES, SNES, and Genesis, they're usually quick to add, "Not the Disney games, though -- those rocked." Titles like DuckTales (1989, NES), Chip N Dale's Recue Rangers (1990, SNES), and Aladdin (1993, Genesis and SNES) retain a revered spot in platformer history. In fact, 1990's Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse for the Genesis was good enough to make Nintendo fans feel a twinge of jealousy. But now, nearly 25 years after the initial release of Castle of Illusion, you have a chance to revisit the befuddling fortress, and this time your Nintendo 3DS is your passport. Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion is a direct sequel to 2010's Epic Mickey for the Wii, but it's also a follow-up to the beloved Genesis hit Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse. The game pays tribute to its heritage through 2D side-scrolling gameplay, bright sprite-based graphics, and a playing field studded with tricks, traps, and baddies. |
