Bandai Namco has confirmed that Disney Magical World is getting a sequel on the Nintendo 3DS.
The game - which is known as Disney Magical Castle 2: My Happy Life in Japan - will get its full reveal on July 6th, via the official Japanese website. For the time being, you'll have to make do with the infectiously jolly teaser trailer below.
We rather liked the original Disney Magical World, giving it 8 out of 10 back in 2014. There's no word on if this game will make the jump to the West, but we'd imagine it has a decent chance.

I never did get round to the first game, despite being interested. Guess I'll just go straight onto this game instead
I still have to get the first one!
When is Universal Studios Magical World going to happen?
I don't like Disney.
Odd that you'd comment on a Disney article then @manu0
@Rhydas Very odd.
I TOLD YOU I'D SHOOT, BUT YOU DIDN'T BELIEVE ME! WHY DIDN'T YOU BELIEVE ME?!
Cracks me up how people who didn't buy the first game think its a Sim. It's more of a open world RPG than a Sim guys. It does have some very minor Sim elements in the game. But its more get a quest and head for the dungeon game. It was very well done and looked pretty good to boot. I'm definitely buying part 2. If you haven't played the first game I would suggest trying it. Cause its an all around good experience.
Yay ! Hope it makes it over here. And yes - it's most definitely not really a sim, peeps.
The first one was fun. I wouldn't mind some co-op play this time. Be easier to help my kids level up, and only seeing other people's restaurants was boring. Hope they got creative with some new worlds to visit. And the item drops could be a bit better.
Not like I won't end up buying 3 copies if it's exactly the same, though. sigh
I liked the first one, but I got bored of it because almost all of the side quests are fetch quests. Maybe if this one doesn't have as many fetch quests, I will get it.
Well, I did really enjoy the first game, and I played through a very good majority of it, minus the last few stickers. I just didn't imagine a sequel being made.
This needed to happen. There's so much to draw upon. The first game had areas based on Alice in Wonderland, Winnie the Pooh, Cinderella, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Aladdin. There are so many possibilities of other Disney films that could be featured in this game! An underwater Little Mermaid area, perhaps? This game is the bomb. So many items to collect and costumes and furniture to fashion. It also features a legitly challenging action-rpg element. For those who couldn't make it to Disneyland and find a trip to the Disney store unsatisfying as I did, this game is the best Disney experience without requiring you to pay too much. A really fun game with beautiful graphics. I hope they fix the slowdown in the overworld with this one as just b/c it's a kids game doesn't mean us grown-up kids don't appreciate a smoother frame rate. I did, however, appreciate that the action challenges were noticeably smoother.
I only bought it for one reason: An excuse to wear the Disney Princess costumes. I created a female character just for that. I stayed, however, for the enjoyable Quest-Rewards/Materials-Costumes/Armor/Weapons gameplay. This is Monster Hunter injected with a large dose of Disney heroine, folks. It's not Animal Crossing: Disney World in the slightest. There's no relaxing involved. You're constantly running and travelling across worlds, gathering materials, cooking fantastical-looking foods, and slaying ghosts and boss ghosts to complete quests.
@ollietaro Exactly what @Ollietaro said! This game rocks! Take it from me a 50 year old! I'm an old timer but I loved this game! When the pirates expansion came out my jaw dropped. I loved the different areas to play in. I told people when this game came out.....its the next best thing to going to Disneyland!
I still need to play the first one. Been wanting too just didn't get to it with all of my other games.
I bought three copies of the first one and played it with my kids. We all had a blast with it. Can't really afford to do that every time though. Games like this and Fantasy Life make me wish they did family bundles.
@Longaway co-op would be awesome! Let's hope so. I would love a 4 player co-op experience but any online co-op would be nice.
@Sojourner I'm in the same boat! Download play for Mario Party Island was a godsend!
The trailer clearly says "Disney Magic Castle: My Happy Life 2" and yet the article lists the title as "Disney Magic Castle 2: My Happy Life", which doesn't even make sense because the original game also had the subtitle "My Happy Life"
If Frozen is in it, that just increases the chances of a US release. I can't leave the house without seeing Frozen on some kind of product.
