    I was so fond and loved the original when I had my Genesis growing up. I am definitely pre-ordering this!

    Would love if it is remote play for the Vita or even a Vita version in the pipeline!

    I’m buying it now for the original. The HD remake will just be a nice bonus.

    Again, no Vita love? Could anybody confirm that this is not coming to Vita?

    I fail to understand why perfect games such as Castle of Illusion and Duck Tales won’t be ported for Vita. Just bought DT for Steam. Would buy it again for Vita, if released.

    Booo Sony…

    So no PS+ discount ? Too bad, I was hoping for this one too. Maybe you (Sony) could work out this, please!

    And the rumors about Vita being a dead fish get stronger and stronger… maybe this games will be announced on Gamescon.

    But I won’t hold my breath…

    Why is this not on the Vita?

  • PrimeroIncognito

    “Why is this not on the Vita?”

    Maybe because the original game was played on a television screen and the goal is to re-create the experience as close to the original as possible?

    Or maybe because there isn’t much profit potential on the Vita due to the Vita not selling as well as expected?

    Maybe a combination of both?

    Did you think of those things?

    The answer is this: developers rather put a game on the home console first.
    If the game sells well and there is a high enough demand for it on Vita, then & only then will it get ported.

    I am going to Pre this, because I want the genesis version.

    HOWEVER…

    If you release this and the genesis version on VITA, I will purchase it again. (Truth be told, all i really want is the Genesis version on Vita. :) Please consider Vita.)

    Congratulations! That’s exciting news! Mickey game is always a cynosure whenever we try to access the game lists. The preview shows it would be amazingly gripping. It seems to have great graphics and color display. A big hit! Anxiously waiting for the release!

    Vita is perfect for games like Castle of Illusion and of course there is demand.

    I was forced to play Duck Tales on Steam…

    I really hope Europe will get these pre-order bonuses too.

    (it would also be very nice if the Genesis version of Quackshot was released!)
