Following its release last month, Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed has reportedly received a new update in the form of a small patch.
This apparently bumps the game up to Version 1.0.2 and comes loaded with the following fixes and improvements - addressing graphical issues and more. Here's the official rundown, courtesy of THQ Nordic (via Perfectly-Nintendo):
Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed – Ver. 1.0.2 (October 24th)

- Various audio fixes and improvements
- Fixed various quest progression issues from occurring
- Spelling and localisation fixes and improvements
If you haven't tried out Epic Mickey: Rebrushed just yet, there's a demo you can download from the Switch eShop. In our review here on Nintendo Life, we said the new lick of paint on this game worked wonders, awarding it eight out of ten stars.
"Epic Mickey: Rebrushed is a welcome return for one of Mickey’s most memorable adventures, this is just about everything one could’ve wanted out of a revisit to a lost classic."

Haven't heard about this game in a while. Is it worth the remaster?
@batmanbud2 In short, Yes
It's a wild blend of Platforming, puzzles, quests, and a moral system. It does well with it's heart felt story, the world and atmosphere, the characters. I would advise if you want to complete it, definitely have a guide ready, as there are some quests you can skip over and fail by progressing to a certain point.
I think it's a game worth your time, especially if you grew up on disney or are a disney fan. I personally hope that we see a new sequel come out if this succeeds. I would also recommend doing the deep dive of video essays on youtube on Epic Mickey, its a fascinating story, almost meta story. It's a shame it happened to launch around Zelda and Plucky Squire, more eyes were on those games than this title.
Wow all the hype about this being so much improved over the original and there's still problems at launch that need patching?
@Truegamer79 While I share the sentiment that it shouldn't have to be patched, it was still very playable when it came out.
This is on my list, but I am wondering the graphics are okay on this? Actually leaning towards getting this on my Series X. Or, it might just depend where it goes on sales. I had it on the Wii, but probably only played about a third.
@MrGam3andBu1ld
Well anything better than the condition it was in on Wii should be good enough i think. I swear i though I was playing an early N64 game. Camera was a nightmare.
It doesn't look that good and it's not that fun! 🫨☺️
@dcstud The areas will definitely load faster, and there won't be any frame dips.
@canaryfarmer If you don't want to play it, I'd recommend checking out the story, the cutscenes, and the story of the games development. That can hold you over for a few hours
Another one I really want but I had to spend money elsewhere. I'll get to it at some point. By the time the next Switch comes around, my collection is going to be nuts.
Glad to see they're taking care of it. I will get it at some point for sure.
@MrGam3andBu1ld Shout out to this comment because it captures the essence of this game perfectly. I couldn’t have phrased it any better.
It’s definitely worth a try. The game has some flaws, they don’t outweigh the good, especially if you’re a Disney fan.
One of the worst games I played this year.
A huge patch would be necessary to make a good game out of it.
Happy to hear they're further improving this game, looking forward to playing it myself when I can (got it physically discounted from my usual retailer here in Italy when it came out, just haven't had the time to play it yet)!
This game should’ve dropped in December. Who the hell bought this the same week ZELDA dropped???
I would love to dive into this game, but my backlog is too flooded to make time for a game of its size. I still haven’t finished Echoes, Bakeru or Luigi’s Mansion 2! 🥲
I want to start the game on Halloween, because it is so atmospheric and a little bit spooky. It will be great.
My hope is if this game gets the love it deserves, Purple Lamp and THQ Nordic will create a new sequel like they did from Battle for Bikini Bottom Rehydrated to the Cosmic Shake. That and these guys know platformers, so there's a good chance we'll get a really good product. Disney give them the green light please
I'm sure it's way better on other platforms but I've still enjoyed playing this again on Switch.
There was a funny glitch in the Pirate Ride when a Sweeper (the broomstick enemy) was left suspended in midair away from a fire like it had been shoved back, and it would still go back and do it even if I used paint on it!
@batmanbud2
If you like platforming at all, I'd give it a huge recommendation. I'm loving it! (Never played the original.)
@dcstud there was a demo on the eshop might still be on it. Definitely give it a go
I just recently finished replaying this on Steam. Love it! Such an improvement over the original and I loved the original already faults and all. Thinking about starting another replay of it in the next couple of months. I didn’t exactly get my 100% completion but came close…not that I’m a completionist with every game I play. Most games I don’t even finish due to life.
@cartunecartune
I did - and actually had alot more fun with this than Zelda.
@Nintendo4Sonic
Damn. Must've been an empty year for you then, with little to no games... Oh well, here's hoping 2025 will be better for you!
@Maubari ???
It's a great year to me. So many awesome games, but actually not on Switch. The games I bought on Switch this year aren't many. That's just Mario Party Jamboree, Shadow of the Ninja, Princess Peach Showtime and Mario vs Donkey Kong.
My PS5 and Series X on the other side are very busy right now.
@Nintendo4Sonic Imagine the Sequel borrows from Astro Bot, where you rescue modern Disney characters that fell into the wasteland. That's be cool
I really love this game, but I did find a few very annoying bugs during my playthrough. I'm about to start the New Game+ and I hope the update offers an improved experience.
For anyone that played this on the Wii, is it worth buying again? I had it on the Wii and liked the concept, but there was something about it that put me off from playing very far into it (might have been the controls, or maybe how dark some levels are, I can't remember now). So if you had it on Wii, is this one noticeably better?
and yet what it really needs is a frame rate stability patch, great great game otherwise
@SoIDecidedTo I would say yes. The aesthetics got a facelift, no more annoying camera issues, but as far as some levels feeling “dark”, that is kinda the point with the world Mickey is in with this game. He unintentionally ruined this world with thinner so it’s certainly not going to be a happy, colorful place. I think it’s a great game and definitely worth another try if I were you however I would probably hold off for sale. I think at full price it definitely wasn’t worth it. It should have released at $40 honestly. I’m sure it will have a sale around Black Friday…
@Koffeeking0407 Thanks for this. I remember not liking the camera, and when I said Dark, I meant I literally couldn't see what I needed to do unless I turned up the brightness on my tv. I forgot what dungeon I was in (or level) but I found that ridiculous. But I get the whole theme of the game.
@Jiggies Did just read the fixed issues. So you buy the game retail and it is a remaster, which needs an update as it has issues in the progress department?
Sorry, a remaster with such basic errors? Did anyone test this?
Considered buying the game, but if the game is not future prove, I am out. I usually find the lucky situations where you cannot continue and need to play from the beginning. Had that, don't want that again.
