First Epic Mickey 3DS Screen Shows Scrooge McDuck

NintendoLife is like a hurricane, here in Duckburg

The game has now caught my attention.

!!!

wow bring it.

Hopefully Disney will let Warren make 'Epic Ducktales' as well.

This game is gonna be sweet! Remember Duck Tales for the NES? Oh yeah...

So, SO happy to own a 3DS right now. This on day #1 for me.

Lovely graphics!

@Blizzaga I remember Talespin for the NES... Entirely different though I'm sure.

But yes, I'm very intrigued... Looks miles better than I ever thought it would!

yay!!

Oh yes, looking forward to this. Still play Castle of Illusion & Quackshot (Japanese versions of course, love the box artwork) on my MegaDrive. Think I was the only person on the planet to love Fantasia aswell. My 3DS & I may yet be friends.

Will they ever bring back Darkwing Duck?

that screenshot at the top reminds me of the side scrolling level of kindom hearts recoded

DuckTales Woohoo!

Now that looks interesting,

Just wondering how well this game would use the 3d effect...

This looks awesome!! Soooooooooo happy about this!!
I'm an old school gamer so go figure lol

@LittleFuryThing Yes, Darkwing needs to make a comeback. "Cloud of smoke and he appears, the master of disguise."

But yeah, Scrooge is a big plus in my books. I now want this even more.

I can say I am genuinely more excited for this than the console epic mickey 2.

I was not a huge fan of Epic mickey, but I did realy enjoy it, and was happy I bought it and beat it^^ It was realy a unique game, with different outcomes from quests, collectibles and so on^^
I am however a HUGE fan of both illusion-games. I picked both of them up for a month ago, and loved them, even though they where realy easy games^^
Im not sure if I am gonna pick up the wii-version (at least at first) but to see this screenshot....... Made me think back to thoose games and Ducktales (because I saw Scrooge...... yeah, I am love nostalgy X) ).

And for some wierd reason: yeah KH as well @zeldadude

If this is anything ANYTHING like Ducktails I will have to look into it. Love that game.

man that screen just looks exactly like what I'd imagine a castle of illusion sequel to look like. I cannot wait for this game now.

Sold!

i can't wait to play this game. Day one buy for me also.

We need more 2D platformers on the system. Castlevania, for instance.

Maybe they could release Ducktales, Chip n Dale, Tailspin, and Darkwing Duck on virtual console in preparation for release of this game. That would be awesome!! This game is sounding more and more fantastic to me.

Well, now I have to get a console version, and the 3DS version.
And @photofool83, I so wish they would come out with a new Darkwing Duck game. And the VC ones you were talking about.

Now we only need a remixed version of the Moon theme in this game. (You know the one I'm talking about...)

i probably won't get this game.

Can't wait!

"The still also scores bonus points for including Scrooge McDuck from DuckTales, reinforcing our long-held belief that all games would be better with more Scrooge McDuck".

Took the words right outta my mouth.

Cue Meatloaf song...

That's so much modern retro.

For some reason I'm bothered by Scrooge McDuck just standing placidly atop a floating block. It jarringly kills the logic of the scene.

mabye ill get this. but it depends on the price. If its $30 ill get it but not worth $40.

My eyes grew wider and wider with disbelief and joy as I read the summary of this article! Epic Mickey? 3DS?? 2D platformer???? Monster Tale developer???????? Seriously, this is exciting stuff!!

Brings back memories of those good Mickey games on the SNES. Seeing how so many of us are drawn to Scrooge, maybe a developer should consider creating a new Duck Tales game.

Man I really hope that you get to earn him as a playable character rather then just a helper character.

I'm curious how much of the stylus figures in with painting, I really hate it when the game forces you to control the characters movement with the stylus. If its just painting then it might be bareable.

Those graphics look so sexy.

This game is a first day purchase for me.

This game already looks better as a side scroller

I don't get why everyone's geeking out about the graphics. They look grainy and colorfully dull to me. The 3DS could do A LOT better. There are 3DSware games with better graphics than this.

@grumblebuzz It's not a very good scan to be honest, I expect direct feed shots look a lot better

I've seen the rest of the scans (http://www.ndsicards.com/imagenes/primeras-imagenes-del-epic-mickey-power-of-illusion) and I gotta say, I'm looking forward to it. I love the visual style, and I love 2D platformers.

Now, I'm already twenty times more interested in this than Epic Mickey 2.

DuckTales was one of my all time favorite Nes game.

Being a 2D platformer is win enough for me, but throw in Uncle Scrooge? Epic WIN.

"Scrooge McDuck from DuckTales"
Or Scrooge McDuck from Scrooge McDuck. After all he´s originally from Disney comics made by Carl Barks (Scrooge´s first appearance was in 1947, he was supposed to be only in one story but look what happened ). I can´t decide which one I like better, Donald or Scrooge. They should make a Disney game of Carl Barks´s characters like Scrooge McDuck, Beagle Boys, Gyro Gearloose etc. Kinda like Ducktales in other words.

Anyone noticing the coincidence between Game Gear on the 3DS VC and the announcement of this game as a sequel to Castle/Land/World of Illusion, knowing that Castle and Land were released on GG as well? It would be SO good to have them on the 3DS!
Also, incredibly hyped for this game, it really look awesome!

So basically it's a Castle of Illusion/Ducktales crossover?

Ok, 3DS wins. End of story.

Nice indeed, but I just hope that they don´t force the player use the stylus in this game just for the sake of it which would distract too much from game play. So I will wait for some first (p)reviews to see if the controls are messed up between having to interchange between stylus and buttons. But otherwise, very neatly looking

That screenshot has just sold me a 3DS.

3D DuckTales for WiiU leading to sidescrolling DuckTales 3DS?

I like this new strategy.

Very interested in seeing the trailer for this!

I wonder if Mickey will be able to bounce on Scrooge's cane as a power-up...

Day 1 purchase.

Okay. I know I've said a few times before (perhaps curmudgeonly) that the first Epic Mickey left a sour taste in my mouth, and I wasn't too excited about The Power of Two. Well, I have to confess, this particular game, Power of Illusion, has definitely interested me. Way to go!

Bless me bagpipes!

Some additional scans have been making the rounds.

Ditto all the other positive comments re COI & DT...3DS owners rejoice (hopefully)

Looks very nice! Very retro! But it doesn't look like a 2,5 d platformer (they said it would be). No offense, though!

I wonder if this will have any 3D effects!

When you come across other characters, it'll open up a side-quest. Like finding Scrooge McDuck's lucky dime. Every detail you uncover about this game will just make it more awesome

This looks very interesting! I only hope that the Epic Mickey brand doesn't make Disney think they can throw Square Enix to the curb, and kill off Kingdom Hearts. If Disney had to choose between the two, I'm sure they'd favor the one that actually stars Mickey. I don't think that will happen, but anything's possible.

OHMYGODIMUSTHAVETHISITLOOKSSOMUCHLIKETHEORIGINALGAMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@RR529 That won't happen, yeah.

In my pocket, NOW!

Castle of Illusion on Game Gear was an excellent game. I home we get a virtual console version of that as a promotion for this game!

@legodavid15 Oh absolutely?

Cool. I look forward to this.
