Bandai Namco released Disney Magic Castle: My Happy Life in Japan back in 2013. 1 year later in 2014, Nintendo brought the game over to North America and Europe as “Disney Magical World”.
Now a sequel has been developed: Disney Magic Castle: My Happy Life 2 (Disney Magical World 2 for exports) for the Nintendo 3DS.
Also, Disney Magical World 2: Enchanted Edition for the Nintendo Switch in December 3, 2021, brought the game over to North American as “Disney Magical World 2”.
Disney Magical World 2, the follow up to the popular franchise, lets players enjoy a variety of new adventures in six Disney-themed worlds, such as exploring the world of Frozen, dancing with Disney princesses or soaring through special Magical Dream events. Players will encounter and interact with well-known characters like Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Goofy, Elsa, Anna, Olaf, Ariel, Donald Duck and Daisy Duck. The game launched on 11/05/2015 in Japan, and 10/14/2016 worldwide. (1 day later for Australia)
Boxart / Title[]
Gameplay[]
Disney Magical World 2, similar to its predecessor, is a life simulation video game. Players will get to customize their own avatar, design their own café, interact with several Disney Characters, complete several episodes, collect items, create clothes and furniture for their avatar and café, go fishing, and visit Disney themed worlds. The new game is also set to debut brand new settings and worlds based on franchises such as Frozen and The Little Mermaid. Some familiar worlds such as the Alice in Wonderland and Winnie the Pooh worlds will return with new designs and features.
Café and Dance Show[]
Once again, your character will manage a café in which you may choose the furniture, food, and uniforms for the staff. There are new recipes and furniture available for you to create the café to your liking. A new feature is that your café comes with a stage and dancers. If you achieve a silver ranked party (which is a party consisting of at least 6 themed items) then you may have a chance to perform a dance with the visitors to the café. The Dance Show allows you to switch cameras and take pictures of your favorite characters dancing with you on stage.
Dream Fantasy[]
Dream Fantasy is another new feature unlocked via puzzle pieces. You must collect a selection of puzzle pieces and frames. The pieces are collected by posing in front of marked Disney Characters (similar to the cards from the first game.) The frames are collected by hosting themed parties and taking pictures of the guests. However there are 2 puzzles per theme and to collect the second frame, you must host a gold ranked party at a café, which requires 12 theme points.
A Dream Fantasy is activated by then returning to your house and falling asleep on your bed. Dream Fantasy's allow you to acquire large amounts of Nice! points and take several pictures in a beautiful neon filled world.
Episodes/Quests[]
Episodes once again return. This time, they take place in the Magic Dungeon in Castleton, the jungle in Hawaii, the sea in Atlantica, the mountain in Arendelle, and the hedge maze in Wonderland. Per the previous game, you use a special wand in the world to defeat the ghosts to help the world residents. Instead of an open level like the previous game, the level is split into marked sections.
Changes from Disney Magical World[]
Episodes[]
- Before entering each world, you are given a list of potential items you can acquire in the world where in the previous game you were not told what items you could get. Also items that are in your material log are marked with Red, Yellow, and Green tabs (except for any possible fishing items). The markings are as follows:
- Red: You need this item
- Yellow: You have the item but not much quantity of it
- Green: You have the item and a good quantity of it
- Each level is now split into separate sections instead of an open stage
- To earn Magic Stones, you must complete a challenge objective or destroy all enemies in the section whereas in the previous game, the stones were obtained through gathering and dropped by large/boss/final boss ghosts.
- Challenges are issued in some sections where you can earn multiple Magic Stones where challenges never existed in the previous game
Café[]
- The manager is now different (the previous manager makes a cameo as the surf shop owner in Hawaii)
- Dancers and the stage are added.
- You can customize the center dancer to your liking.
- The theme points are different. Instead theme points are set via the specific item where in the previous games it was based on combinations (such as matching tables and chairs give you 1 theme point where in this game the two are counted separately and give you 2 theme points)
- Dance Shows can be held at parties
- You no longer live above the café and instead live at your own house. The Café is also noticeably larger.
Shops[]
- Minnie Mouse now runs a beauty salon where the player may change their appearance.
- Minnie Mouse also sells sparkles now instead of Miss Teri
- The Three Little Pigs now run their own shop that can change the appearance of your house. The options will depend on which pig is operating the booth.
- Miss Teri has added a chance to purchase puzzle pieces using gems from the mines.
- Miss Teri also sells bonus recipes, including outfit recipes, furniture recipes, and food recipes.
- There is a little vendor which sells an random accessory
- Clarice also owns a little shop inside of Daisy's Boutique where, using jewels from the mines, she can create alternate colors to your outfits. Unlike in the previous games where alternate versions of one outfit must be purchased individually from Daisy.
