Mickey Mouse is returning to star in Castle of Illusion, a fantastical HD reimagining of the classic Sega Genesis game. The game is scheduled to release in summer of 2013. We know that Castle of Illusion has a special place in many gamers’ hearts. Sega studios Australia is putting lots of care into this new 2D/3D game.
Our plan is to deliver a fully reimagined experience that takes advantage of the power of PS3 with all new graphics and new adventures, while at the same time making sure that the game maintains the Disney magic that the original Castle of Illusion captured in 1990.
We have also been working very closely with the director of the original game, who is now at Disney Interactive. We are having a blast working with her to realize many of the elements that were intended for the original game, but couldn’t be achieved until now due to the technical limitations of previous generation consoles. If you have played the original game, you will also see that we have kept intact many of the major iconic elements of the game that helped define this groundbreaking game at the time of its original release.
Look out for our developer interviews and behind the scenes videos to catch the Sega Studios Australia team and members of the original game development team share their experience working on Castle of Illusion.

Good in theory, but Sega Australia's work gives them little chance of achieving those goals thanks to terrible input lag, imprecise movement and spotty collision detection.
That's not good.
(And I assume it could be even worse on PC with mouse+kb controls.)
FUCKING 30 FPS !!!...oh well,we'll resist..altough the game runs weird with it..

EDIT: I compared the exe against the original and there's just one difference, probably just a change of a single byte to uncap the framerate, this could also lead to the effect where the game is speed up at high framerates and slowed down when framerate is low but I haven't tried it myself, hopefully there's no such side effects.
Game is fun as hell! Never thought i would have problems with a boss like i did with this games final boss. The problem was though that if you die you only have half your hp upon revival, which i find largely retarded. Spent the last 2/4 of the game with only 3 hp
But it is like you're being fucked over for not liking that piece of shit controller from Microsoft. So many games these days don't even support gamepads in general, but just that shit. I really hope the PS4 gamepad will become more popular and get official support for PC as well. I'm pretty sure at this point that I'll buy that at some point to replace my current gamepad and I'll just emulate it if need be.

What he said (sort of), except i'll probably just buy a fucking xbox controller in the end.

I know you have strong feelings on the whole controller thing.. but,, I did once also and I can vouch that its really handy just to have one for pc on the desk for those just incase moments... I bought the xbox 360 for pc one and its been really good to be honest on pc for varying games..
When im lazy lazy.. I can even use it on FFXIV and kick back in my super comfy chair and do the laborious gathering stuff while looking at other screen for films etc its a god send in that situation
I think he's talking specifically about the 360 controller. Everyone codes primarily for that these days, so you're forced into buying either an official 360 pad or an xinput compatible one, lest you have to resort to driver emulation, and when developers use xinput it invariably means you can't remap your controls in many games.
@DR
I just use my PS3 controller with MIJ and BetterDS3. It's not "official" but at least I can use, in my opinion, a far better controller and still maintain xinput compatibility for games that force it by using the X360 profile for BetterDS3. I also get the choice then of being able to use the controller as a standard 16-button HID which works for all sorts of games. The xinput stuff has the d-pad listed as a hat switch and many older PC (and some newer, such as those made in RPG Maker) don't read the hat as a d-pad, forcing you to use the goddamn analogue stick for 2D titles At least with PS3/BetterDS3 I can switch profiles on the fly.
Well, it does matter. The emulation methods are still not perfect, at least not for my gamepad. I can't get my triggers to work through the emulator, meaning I use my bottom buttons as triggers. There are also some games that have issues with the emulator, the most recent one I had was in Dust: An Elysian Tail where the emulator made the game constantly drop to 30ish fps and going back to 60 every 2 seconds or so, introducing some horrible stutter. Luckily I found a different .dll which made the game drop to just 55 fps and it was a constant framerate. Another issue I still have with this method is that it doesn't get rid of the terrible button prompts in games. Those xshit buttons have such an obnoxious look...
Well that's why I use BetterDS3 rather than x360ce. I haven't had a single issue with the 360 profile yet, everything works great and works at the system level rather than using .dlls for each game.
