We played Epic Mickey: Rebrushed at GDC and got a much better idea of what’s been redone in the Wii remake.
While Nintendo’s February Direct Partner Showcase included a few unexpected games, nothing was more surprising than the return of Epic Mickey. The Nintendo Wii adventure is something of a cult classic among Disney fans thanks to its unique painting hook and some clever 2D levels that pay tribute to classic Mickey Mouse cartoons. Though it’s beloved by some, reviews at the time were mixed due to some clumsy Wii-era motion controls and a poor 3D camera.
My demo would take me to a chunk of Gremlin Village, Epic Mickey’s second major area. I’d quickly relearn the basics as I remembered how to use paint to reveal hidden objects and disappear enemies with thinner. It was a clever 3D platforming gimmick in the Wii era, and it hasn’t lost any charm here. I still got the same satisfaction from thinning chunks out of a wall so I could jump to a platform on its other side.
Related What’s more impactful is the control overhaul, which makes Rebrushed feel like an entirely different game. Rather than using motion controls to paint, I play my demo on a standard Switch Pro Controller, using a two-stick setup to move and control the camera. That’s so naturally implemented here that I can hardly remember the clumsy controls of the original. Nothing feels out of step with a modern 3D game, where I’m able to freely pivot the camera around while painting enemies.
