Sega has released a developer diary video that talks about the history, imagination and the process behind the upcoming remake of Castle of Illusion. The developers discuss how Castle of Illusion was a immense success back in the 16-bit era and how it was also one of the most visually intense game for its time despite it’s memory constraints.

The game aimed for fantastic Disney-style animations and magic, it wouldn’t be a Disney game either if it didn’t include one of the most iconic characters in history Mickey Mouse. Castle of Illusion is a platforming title at its heart, so it had to have a lot of background animations, inspired environments and fun boss fights that fit the Disney theme.

The game will be released for PC, PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade sometime this Summer so get ready to dive back into the magical world of Disney and nostalgic memories.

Let us know if you’re stoked for Castle of Illusion remake in the comments below.

Epic Mickey could come to the PS3 or 360

During DICE 2010, Graham Hopper, Disney game executive said that Epic Mickey’s stroke centric gameplay was suited perfectly by the Wii.

Now though, he has let slip that the game could eventually make its way to other platforms. “We have a very large audience base that has Wiis in their home,” he said. “That’s not to say that we won’t go to other platforms in the future.”

When asked why they haven’t previously considered branching out, he simply said, “If we started it 6 months ago we would have potentially thought differently about it.”

So Epic Mickey might not be on the 360 or PS3 anytime soon, but there is potential for a move in the future.
