Mickey’s Genesis Classic Castle Of Illusion Coming In HD
Sega revealed today that the world’s favorite rodent, Mickey Mouse (sorry Sonic) will have a classic Sega Genesis title remade in HD. The first screenshots and trailer for the game have been released and they look great.
The announcement follows reports of listings for Castle of Illusion on the Australian ratings board. The Aussie developer, Sega Studios Australia, is reportedly working with the creator of the original game for the remake.
The game will be available on XBLA, PSN, and PC in the Summer of 2013. For more screens head over to Sega's Blog.
