Surprise! For those eagerly awaiting the release of Epic Mickey: Rebrushed on Nintendo Switch, THQ has just made the wait a little easier with a brand-new demo, available right now on the Nintendo Switch eShop!
Epic Mickey: Rebrushed launches on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, PC, and Xbox on September 24th.
What is Epic Mickey: Rebrushed?
Epic Mickey: Rebrushed is an enhanced port of the original Epic Mickey that launched on the Nintendo Wii back in 2010. It was, for its time, an ambitiously dark 3D platforming adventure that utilized a paint and thinner mechanic which allowed you to fill in or erase certain parts of the world as well as enemies. In it, you played as Mickey Mouse who has accidentally negatively affected an entire fantasy world by spilling paint thinner onto a magical blueprint of the world.
The game is known for allowing the player to lean more towards Mickey’s well-known good or more mischievous side depending on the decisions made while playing. It also took place in a twisted, warped version of a Disney theme park with an art style that is slightly unsettling. The idea of seeing the normally cheerful Mickey Mouse in this broken down world is quite the juxtaposition. It made for a compelling concept the likes of which Disney nor Nintendo themselves had seen at the time.
