Mysterious Sega video potential Castle of Illusion teaser?
Sega recently released this new video on their Twitter feed. As far as teasers go, this one is a doozy. With no hints besides the title of “Summer 2013” and a small “Disney” trademark that appears in the corner near the end of the video, we can only speculate as to what game it is advertising. My favorite theory so far? Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse.
Castle of Illusion was originally published in 1990 for the Sega Genesis, Game Gear, Saturn and the Master System, but has recently been rumored to be getting either an HD remake or port to modern consoles. In February, the Brazilian video game rating board posted a submission for Castle of Illusion for the PS3, Xbox 360, PS Vita and Wii U. Later allgamesbeta.com posted supposedly leaked boxart for the modern remake.
Comparing the video to screenshots from the original game further solidifies this theory. In this screenshot, we see a toy soldier that strongly resembles the ones in the video.
That’s enough evidence for me to suspect that this is a teaser for Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse which will only fuel the hype generated by the series of leaks. What are your thoughts on the video?

It’s gotta be Castle of Illusion. That’s cool.
If this does well hopefully we’ll see World of Illusion next. Co-op with Mickey & Donald made it an even more memorable game in my opinion.

I would not be surprised at all if a WayForward symbol popped up in a “next” trailer.

I would so love to see castle of illusion get an hd remake as I never finished it. And one could only hope we get an Hd remake of the snes classic mickeys magical quest. And since we’re getting duck tales why not rescue rangers???

I never played Castle of Illusion but have always heard that it was a great game. So I hope that it is Castle of Illusion and if it is, I also hope that it lives up to its name!
