Retro_Link Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 http://uk.ign.com/articles/2013/04/12/is-sega-teasing-a-castle-of-illusion-remake SEGA has released a new teaser trailer for a game set to release in Summer 2013, adding further evidence to the notion that a re-release of Castle of Illusion may be on the cards. The old-fashioned trailer, which you can check out below, features legions of toy soldiers as well as a shadowy figure that looks suspiciously like Sleeping Beauty villain, Maleficent. Last month, an adventure platformer called Castle of Illusion was spotted on the Brazilian Ratings website for Xbox 360, PS3, Vita and Wii U, leading to speculation that a re-release of the 1990 SEGA Genesis game was imminent. What do you reckon? Should we be expecting an official announcement any day now, or is it possible SEGA is teasing some other Disney-themed game we haven't heard of?

Blade Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 The original was amazing. Absolutely loved that game. Would be good if the original got a virtual console relase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnus Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 (edited) Well, I guess it would be typical of Sega to give us a remake of a mediocre platformer but refuse to release Valkyria Chronicles 3 or Ace Attorney Investigations 2 SORRY SEGA (I still hate you) in the West. Needs more Sonic, though. Edited April 12, 2013 by Magnus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ike Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Ace Attorney Investigations 2 in the West. That's Capcom. Pretty sure it got leaked that this is Castle of Illusion. It got leaked before this teaser trailer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnus Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 That's Capcom. Oh, yeah - I don't know what I was thinking when I said that. I shouldn't lump all of my Japanese publishers who treat the West as second-class citizens together, I guess. *Redirects hate* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goron_3 Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 As much as I'd prrefer Valkryia Chronicles 3, Castle of Illusion was a FANTASTIC game! Had it on the Sega Master System and I loved it. Preferred it to Land of Illusion too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnus Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 People always seem to praise the Mega Drive version, but the Master System version was so much better. There's decent level design and everything! Pretty ugly graphics, though. Land of Illusion is my favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonnas Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 I'm just wondering how was anyone able to see Maleficent in that trailer when it's clearly the Evil Queen from Snow White. I never played Castle of Illusion, and I have no opinion formed on a remake where no info has been released, so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's decent level design and everything! Pretty ugly graphics, though. Land of Illusion is my favorite. Tbh I think the music on the master system version was better too! I played the hell out of Land of Illusion and castle of Illusion....I remember the ghost mansion level early on in Land of Illusion giving me nightmares as a kid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M_rock Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 (edited) Ugh there absolutely should be no reason this would not come to Wii U, otherwise it's totally ridiculous! I'm realy looking forward to this, if it is released for WiiU, if not, well that's a shame. Edited April 16, 2013 by M_rock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
