What all devs should learn from the Castle of Illusion remake

GamesRadar - The original 1990 Castle of Illusion is considered a classic, probably because everybody who had a Mega Drive or Genesis either owned it or knew someone who owned it. But it aged very quickly. By the time Sonic 2 was out in 1992, loading up Castle of Illusion was laughable. It had ideas, certainly, but they were hamstrung by a predictably weak early grasp of the hardware. However, underneath the creaky implementation, the concept was pure gold. In fact, the make-believe world and the characters within it were so good, it's only now, 23 years later, that a modern-day redux has finally delivered the real Castle of Illusion.
