April 30, 2026 - 19:44

The 3D platformer that lets players reshape a cartoon world with paint and paint thinner is now available for pre-order on the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. "Epic Mickey: Rebrushed," a remastered version of the 2010 Wii classic, brings back the story of Mickey Mouse stumbling into a forgotten realm of discarded Disney characters. Players use a magic brush to either restore or erase parts of the environment, which changes how the world reacts to them.

This updated edition features improved graphics, smoother controls, and new camera options tailored for the Switch 2 hardware. The game originally stood out for its moral choices, where using paint to fix things leads to a friendlier experience, while paint thinner destroys obstacles but can make enemies more aggressive. Early reviews of the remaster praise how the new hardware handles the game's unique art style, which mimics hand-drawn animation.

Pre-orders are live at major retailers, though no exact release date for the Switch 2 version has been confirmed yet. The standard edition costs $59.99, while a collector's edition includes a steelbook case and an art book. For fans of the original, this is a chance to revisit a cult favorite with modern polish. For newcomers, it offers a creative twist on the typical platformer formula, blending exploration with consequences for every brushstroke.
