Epic Mickey: Rebrushed Gameplay Comparison (Switch vs. Wii)

I was curious on how the 8 minutes of Epic Mickey : Rebrushed gameplay compared to the original Epic Mickey so I decided to record my own gameplay, out of curiosity. Hope you enjoy!

While I think I like the old face for the dragon better, the new design is still SUPER cool *and* it’s an actual bridge now! 😂 I can’t even tell you how many times I fell off of the old design when I was a kid because it didn’t have a flat back and because it was moving! Especially the tail since it got so small and you didn’t feel like you could make the jump to the final platform! So glad they fixed it!! ❤

[@l3g0b0y6]

Yeah, I agree. It looks more like a "bridge," but now it looks too...static.

[@seanstephenson7537]

I liked the style in the original better! I’m just worried it’s going to look static for the rest of the games art style!

honestly seeing seeing them side by side I do like what they are doing with rebrushed because it still feel true to the original but with more detail like for somethings maybe some of the original devs wish they could have done that but they couldn't back then

[@fireorb2]

The dragon was much creepier in the original. I was in high school when I saw that thing, and didn't know what to make of it.

[@ringomandingo1015]

It’s good that they’re making everything clearer and easier to see with new lighting but the way everything glowed in the original made the environment and characters more Ghoulish and Nightmarish, really fitting the dread that a place called Wasteland should bring.

[@bingo6073]

Seeing that they made the paintable objects more noticeable brings a smile to my face, can't count the amount of times i got stuck looking for the solution to the level on the wii.

I love that like the opening cutscene, this footage is almost shot for shot so that you can see the comparison between the original and remake! It’s like a Crash Bandicoot and Spyro night and Day! My childhood has officially come back! And it was through this game that I was able to help navigate my family through Disneyland and Magic Kingdom when we visited them!

[@unfinishedworkonfire]

The detail is immaculate. The asset redesigns are great, especially for the dragon. I prefer the original steamboat willie section (because of the more 2d style platforms that make it seem like the original cartoon), but the redesign looks good too!

[@AmIntrigued]

Wow they put so much freaking love into the level designs even in little areas like 1:55 that you would probably skim over

[@EpicMickeyFanOfficial]

love how the fire bridge is actually a bridge

I appreciate that the Fire Bridge actually has some platform on it now. I always felt like I was going to fall off that thing in the original game.

It looks awesome, but where's the effect on Mickey that makes his ink drip upwards?

[@jadetheartist873]

Maybe they’re adding that at a later date.

[@PyroGothNerd]

Isn't that only ifyou use too much thinner?

[@skillato9000]

Wasn't this a scrapped idea in the original?

[@coltonk.3086]

@@PyroGothNerd I didn't know that! That's really cool!

[@GemsGoldia]

​@@skillato9000Mickey always has ink rising off of him to signify that he has some of the blot in him. Doing more thinner actions causes more of it to rise, doing more paint actions causes less. The actual scrapped concept was Mickey's entire appearance changing to suit the play style, like having more washed out colors on a thinner run or brighter ones during paint, or even the scrapped scrapper Mickey concept where his paint melted off of his sketch. Fairly sure there's always at least an occasional blot drip rising regardless of your play style, though. You can see some of it happening when Mickey jumps or spins on occasion in the remaster, where blot particles are thrown around.

[@tonimicovski9929]

Awesome, love these types of gameplay comparisons. Like what they have done with the remake, cannot wait to play this

[@Eilavamp]

This does look amazing, I can't help but feel it is a lot darker in colour than the original though. And the old black and white cartoon segments looked much more like the original cartoons on the Wii version. Just me? Still looking forward to this, but side by side making me appreciate the original that much more. I loved this game so much :)

[@MicadenTDCT]

Going to be honest there's some critiques I have, I loved the original's pushing out walls and AC Unit in the climb of the first tower in the original game vs the new flip out panels. The Paintable world elements don't feel nearly as bright, though giving you a starry outline for missing objects is absolutely genius. I don't need them to be absolutely neon, but a version between the new & old colors would probably be better, as it felt those elements were like in an actual cartoon, where the objects characters would interact with would be less detailed than the environment. The "fog" effect is kind of distracting and washes out a lot of color, especially next to a Wii game feels saddening. The actual modelling, detail, redesigned areas, THE FIRE BRIDGE IS AN ACTUAL BRIDGE, etc. No comment absolutely beautifully well done. It's just the color contrast & washed out color that need work.

[@dillonwright13]

The only thing I wish they could’ve done for Rebrushed is getting Chris Diamantopoulos to voice Mickey.

[@FRamirez888]

I have mixed feelings because the wii version kind of has more details and a weird lighting that makes it look more gloomy. Can't wait to see the rest of the game on switch anyways

[@LisaakaBooksonTwitch]

I cannot contain the excitement and joy I feel in my heart. September is going to be all Mickey for Switch all the time 😁

[@lay10vids]

I’m very excited, but am torn at it being a remake. With a simple remaster, it could have retained the art direction and run at 60fps on Switch. 3D platformers should be 60fps, no matter the graphical sacrifices.

[@Chris30C]

Is it me or is the rebrushed version is missing some of the sound effects like when you collect the etickets or paint sounds? Also I noticed the music didn't change to a combat version when facing an enemy. Hope this all gets fixed in the final version of epic Mickey rebrushed.

[@jesse_o_tokyo9605]

I remember playing this game as a kid it was so good and looking back at the gameplay now color me impressed how the version honestly still holds up and some parts actually looks better

[@eduardoharoproductions3065]

While redesign is a lot better graphics wise and more vibrant. I gotta say the original just has that classic cartoon look that hits harder

[@goldenguy7470]

Something I like about the new design of the dragon is the fact it's an actual bridge now, though I think I like the creepy looking face from the original more.

tbh there are some things that I much prefer from the original but they both look really good

[@Mymy_64]

Some parts in the remake feel bigger or smaller like the temple with the Gremlin or the moving platforms segment. Not sure how to feel about that.

[@X_Zangetsu_X]

I like that the game might make a comeback with the remake, but theres just tiny details that makes me wish they didnt remove, sectioned painting and thinning was fun, but now its just 1 blast of the brush and it gets painted instantly, just small details like that is all, really hope that they clean up the details in the game since the game hasnt released yet, i look forward to it either way though lol

[@austonlincoln7757]

[@Bane3M]

If the game ends up releasing in fall there’s thankfully about half a year to correct all of this stuff so hopefully they do.

[@Mon-Ark]

I never really understood the hate for the new hud. I think it stays very true to the original while being new. I think it looks amazing honestly

[@SUCHMISH]

@@Mon-Ark But that sketch book style for Mickey's face... I think the charm of that is what people are going to miss

[@TastyWafflesForBreakfast]

I hope so too but honestly, I could live with that if that is the only thing that lost it‘s charm. Everything else in that demo looked so much more detailed, I didn‘t even notice it on first time watch because the game simply looked like that in my memory. If everything else improved I can live with a few set backs (also, mods on pc will probably bring it back relatively fast.)

[@bentacc9217]

Feels like they had time to go in and refine the world just add small things or changes bits and bobs to make it more cohesive and lived in. Like replacing the giant boxes with retractable windows or adding computers to hallways and changing heights on the wheeels it all looks great

[@omegamaximus1727]

I can’t wait to play this Game on Switch.😃

[@jf4132]

That might end up happening but it would be a pretty missed opportunity to fully voice the game. After all, they fully voiced the second game so it only makes sense to fully voice the remake. I doubt that’ll happen sadly

[@DragoonieLad]

Hmm, so to paint/thin with the brush is based on camera angles and camera pointing. That could get troublesome in some parts.

[@mr.korblox]

I think its cutcene times is bit faster than original but I like the moveable cursor from original, which won't be on pc version as my guess

[@l3g0b0y6]

The Fire Bridge looks both good and bad at the same time. I love how the Fire Bridge looks more like an actual bridge, instead of just a dragon, but I don't like how stale the head looks, being more like a statue that was plastered onto a moving ride. The design just kinda looks both off and on, you know?

[@AE1OU]

Oh wow. I thought rebrushed was just gonna be a remaster but its actually more of a remake. Theres new models, new map layout, new animations and even new camera angles for cutscene.

[@mb4456]

Never played the original, but by comparing here it does legitimately look much better, but as a natural progression of what's possible with new tech and experience, and not just trying to make it more 'realistic' or completely different or stubbornly similar. It's a good idea to make tweaks where they could be used, too. I hope there are more remakes that take this approach to polish and improve instead of trying to reinvent the wheel or stay stagnant (Can I get some remakes to make Sonic Adventure era games playable but maintain the charm of the style...? Please...?) I will say though that while I really like the new dragon design, it's so drastically different from the original it seems like an unnecessary overhaul that feels more like trying to make it more 'cute'. I don't know much about Asian cultures so I don't know if it's more accurate to the style they were going for -- I can accept it if so -- but somehow I doubt it, since it looks much more western and cutesy. Making it static is a weird choice and disappointing, cause I know I've always super enjoyed big beasties in my games, and just a little bit of movement goes a long way to making something feel real, even if you go with the mechanical angle. Giving it a flat back with a bridge, though, was an excellent idea and ties in a cool element with comfortable gameplay nicely.

Like how near the end, you probably would've used the crates to stand on one of them, and then wait and time it right to get to those last E-tickets. Then again, I might just be rambling.
