Disney’s Castle of Illusion remake confirmed. Updated.

Castle of Illusion starring Mickey Mouse is being produced by Sega Australia and they have been working closely with the creators of the original game to create an honest remake. The game has been confirmed for PSN, but there has yet to be an official Nintendo console announcement. The Wii U was stated as a release console on a Brazilian Rating Board site, so hope is not lost for a Wii U release.
Update: Sega released an official blog post saying that Castle of Illusion HD will only be released on PSN, Xbox Live Arcade and PC. Where is the alleged Wii U support?
SEGA, in collaboration with Disney Interactive is pleased to announce the upcoming digital release of Castle of Illusion Featuring Mickey Mouse, a complete re-imagining of the iconic Genesis side-scrolling adventure first released in 1990. Developed by Sega Studios Australia, Castle of Illusion Featuring Mickey Mouse will be available worldwide for digital download on Xbox LIVE Arcade, PlayStation Network, and Windows PC in summer 2013.

I really hope that this gets confirmed for the Wii U. I have not played the original but I have heard that it was a great game and would like a chance to experience the remake.

Sega would be daft not to release this on Nintendo’s systems. A 3DS version is a no brainer, and I’m sure the game would turn a profit on the Wii U as well.

That’s what I was thinking, but at this point no Nintendo console have been announced. Rather startling too since Sega has had a pretty good relationship with Nintendo over the years.

I find it really interesting that some of the older disney games, like this and duck tales for the nes are starting to come back into the lime light a little. The illusion games have always been fun and charming, and it really surprises me that there is no Wii U or 3DS support announced. Maybe we’ll get lucky and it’ll be announced in tomorrow’s Nintendo direct. Hey, I can dream can’t I?

I’ll dream with you. Disney games are bound to sell great on Nintendo’s systems!
