At the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=u2TQ-Obts7s&amp;ab_channel=NintendoUK\" title=\"Nintendo Direct\">Nintendo Direct<\/a><\/strong>, a long-awaited event organized by <strong>Nintendo<\/strong> to talk about upcoming releases, the Japanese company <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/nintendo-direct-pikmin-4-zelda-metroid-prime-all-announcements\" title=\"announced a series of video games that dazzled the audience\">announced a series of video games that dazzled the audience<\/a>. While nothing was known about some of them, such as <strong>Metroid Prime Remastered<\/strong>, we had already seen some details about others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is precisely the case of <strong>Disney Illusion Island<\/strong>, an exclusive video game for Nintendo Switch about which much more was revealed in Nintendo&#8217;s 40-minute presentation, including its release date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube aligncenter wp-block-embed-Youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Disney Illusion Island - Nintendo Direct 2.8.2023\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Ll9zSkf4Cfw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First presented in 2022, Disney Illusion Island takes us to the mysterious <strong>island of Monoth<\/strong>, where Mickey Mouse and his friends have landed. This peculiar group must <strong>find three magic books<\/strong> in order to save the island and protect its inhabitants, the Hokuns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Disney Illusion Island is very reminiscent of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Rayman_Legends\" title=\"Rayman Legends\">Rayman Legends<\/a><\/strong>, a successful Ubisoft game, as well as another video game that, ironically, was based on classic Disney characters: <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Cuphead\" title=\"Cuphead\">Cuphead<\/a><\/strong>. The aesthetics, art design and gameplay mechanics seem to be inspired by these titles, albeit with the addition of the <strong>endearing Disney characters<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube aligncenter wp-block-embed-Youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Cuphead - Announcement Trailer - Nintendo Switch\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XwF67xkNSn8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a highlight, Disney Illusion Island <strong>can be played in cooperative multiplayer<\/strong> (something that is in line with the interests of Nintendo and its drive to monetize online), and we will have the option to play with <strong>Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck and Goofy<\/strong>. Characters that, moving away from the current style in the animated series and movies where they appear, have in this game a striking design reminiscent of the <strong>look of old cartoons<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/disney-illusion-island-gameplay-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-271522\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With a combination of a masterful soundtrack, lovingly crafted art design and deceptively fun gameplay, Disney Illusion Island <strong>promises to be a Nintendo Switch smash hit<\/strong>.
