Reports suggest that the forthcoming Epic Mickey game for 3DS,Disney Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion, will be a sequel to the Megadrive Sega classic, Castle Of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse.
According to a preview in Nintendo Power the game, developed by DreamRift, is a side-scrolling platformer that uses the stylus to paint objects into existence. Each level is based on a Disney film, including Sleeping Beauty and Tangled.
DreamRift was founded by Peter Ong and Ryan Pijai, previously lead designer and lead programmer of EA's excellent DS puzzle-platformer Henry Hatsworth In The Puzzling Adventure. Its first game was 2011 DS platformer Monster Tale for Majesco. Power Of Illusion joins Junction Point's Epic Mickey 2: The Power Of Two for PS3, 360 and Wii, which is due for release in autumn.
