Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion - first details

- side-scrolling, platforming title
- follow-up to Epic Mickey and Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse
- use stylus to tap item icons
- "paint" (trace) those items into existence
- this includes creating cliffs, cannons, and floating platforms
- the better you trace, the better it is for Mickey
- for example, a well-traced cannon will only hurt enemies, but a sloppy trace job will make a cannon that hurts everyone
- use thinner to erase objects
- characters are sprites
- scrolling parallax backgrounds
- every level in the game is based on an animated Disney adventure
- this includes "Sleeping Beauty" to "Tangled" and many more
- every character that Mickey saves will take up residence in the fortress that Mickey uses as his home base
- due out Fall 2012
- Witch from Snow White is the main villain
- features locations from multiple Disney eras
- Scrooge Mcduck, Minnie and Oswald are in the game

Thanks to Jason for the heads up!

Sounds wonderful. This holiday season got infinitely better with "The Power of Two" and "Power of Illusion". Can't wait! ^_^

so is it platforming on the touch screen?

or do we have to stop platforming in order to draw stuff? cause that sounds annoying. having to stop, get out the stylus, draw something, then go back to using the buttons?

Sounds really neat; I can't wait to see screenshots.

Also, it would be awesome if Castle of Illusion hits 3DS VC.

I wonder if LOS has a Gonintendo app that notifies him every time RMC is about to post a top-story?

you don't?

edit: about the game, I was thinking, if it is at least as good as capcom's disney platformers, it will be alright to me.

I now know that I'd rather have the 3DS title over the musical sequel.

Chalk up this as another time where I wish the Wii version of a game was more like the handheld one.

Follow up to Castle of Illusion, as in the Genesis game?

Is that true?

That cracking sound is my mind just shattering.

Hmmm… Well I might check the one out over the console release. Hopefully E3 will show off enough details to get a good idea of each game.

"scrolling parallax backgrounds"

and I'm sold.

I've found scrolling parallax to be truly mind-blowing on 3DS. It's the experience I was hoping for when the "3D"S hype began.

This game sounds even better than the console versions, as others have said. Can't wait to see how this ends up. :)

Most sprite platformers have parallaxing backgrounds...
