A surprise game announcement was made during the last Nintendo Direct – and no, it’s not Kingdom Hearts. Disney Magical World 2: Enhanced Edition is in the process of being remastered and will launch on Nintendo Switch this holiday season. The title is a nice RPG style and management game starring all your favorite Disney characters.
Better yet, the next Switch version will include all of the DLC from the original game. While human characters may seem like a a little Creepy in retrospect, the original is often considered a hidden gem among Disney fans.
The franchise’s first and second installments debuted on Nintendo 3DS, and they’ve each managed to attract a surprising number of fans. Many would say it’s a cross between Animal Crossing and Kingdom Hearts – and a key feature of the game is collecting and crafting items to enhance your coffee experience for your guests.
This announcement during September’s Nintendo Direct apparently came out of nowhere and wasn’t even touched upon in previous leaks or speculation. Fan reaction to the announcement was mixed, especially during the live stream on YouTube with jokes about Mickey Mouse arriving on Smash.
The graphics in Disney Magical World 2: Enhanced Edition also appear to have received a facelift from the 3DS version. While Kingdom Hearts itself has yet to appear on Switch, we’re at least getting more from Disney to make the wait a bit easier. Recently, another entry in the Disney Classics game collection was announced, which will feature The Jungle Book alongside Aladdin and The Lion King.
Currently on mobile there are a ton of Disney titles, including Disney Magic Kingdoms, Disney Emoji Blitz, and Disney Tsum Tsum, among others. Disney Tsum Tsum came out with a Switch version which was very quickly abandoned by most gamers.
With the lack of Disney content on Nintendo eShop at the moment, maybe more titles are on the way, such as Epic Mickey and other retro Disney games. Since Nintendo Online expands with the N64 and Sega Genesis titles, the possibilities are truly endless going forward. More information will undoubtedly be revealed as the Disney Magical World 2 release date approaches.
