What do you think about the new layout? Better than the one in Pikmin 4 review ?

Added EuroGamer as the reviewer, the rest are same as previous review mega thread, except for the ones that didn’t review the game. As always, let me know if you want me to add another reviewer. Just share the link and I’ll add them from now on.

So, who is planning to get the game? And those who have gotten it, what do you think about it?

Even as a Cuphead knockoff, I’ve liked the new Mickey Mouse shorts done in this art style. Although the art in a game can only take you so far.

Not even close. Cuphead is a run & gun shooter, this is a Metroidvania. Cuphead is intentional hand drawn throwback art, this is Disney’s current iteration of the mouse and friends art style.

The only similarity is that both use cartoon drawings.

Now every game with a old cartoon style is a Cuphead knockoff?

I don’t know… Looks more like a metrodvania style jump n run with up to four player. Cuphead is a gun and run shooter with an emphasis on boss rush elements but little to no exploration.

Does anyone know if this is a Switch exclusive or not? For some unknown reason I can’t seem to find this info on this game.

It is confirmed Switch exclusive. I don’t know if it’s timed or permanent though.

Seems quite odd for such a commercial entity like Disney not to make this widely available

I’m surprised by how cheap it looks. It’s not just the style, it’s simply that even with the style, things looks as low budget it could be.

As a family game, you can pass on the simple mechanics, but at least, give us visuals.

Not commenting on the game, just wanted to say thank you for this format! It’s lovely to behold compared to the megathread text dumps we’ve gotten used to on the site-that-shall-not-be-named! Good work!

edit: minor note - you have a typo, it should be “aggregated”
