Part of what you’ll see in this latest teaser for Epic Mickey 2 is how the game looks on the Xbox 360. Warren Spector and the other developers from Junction Point talk up the visual upgrade that comes with moving to the PS3 and Xbox 360 after having the first Epic Mickey come out only on the Wii.
This is Disney Epic Mickey: The Power of Illusion. It’s an upcoming game for the Nintendo 3DS. That’s Nintendo 3DS. Not Super Nintendo. Or Nintendo Entertainment System. Though I can see how you might be confused.
Still unofficially announced, Disney Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion is a cover subject of the April edition of Nintendo Power in the US, which arrived in some readers’ mailboxes today.
The word’s out that Disney Interactive’s working on a musical sequel to Epic Mickey and new details have emerged about what to expect.
Would life be better if it was a musical? No. The answer is no, because I hate musicals. But Warren Spector loves musicals, especially Disney musicals, and in this interview he explains why. And also talks about Epic Mickey 2.
Warren Spector is working on Epic Mickey 2. We knew that already. What we didn’t know is that it will be a musical. Falling in line with the tradition of classic Disney movies like The Lion King and Beauty and the Beast, the second Epic Mickey may very well be the first full-fledged video game musical.
The internet was abuzz today with rumours about a possible Epic Mickey 2 for Nintendo 3DS following a tweet from France’s Nintendo Magazine yesterday afternoon.
Earlier this month at the Game Developers Choice Awards, Deus Ex and Epic Mickey designer received a Lifetime Achievement Award for his contributions to the gaming. This Mega64 tribute to Spector featuring Epic’s Cliff Bleszinski aired during the program. I’m surprised they didn’t take the award back on the spot.
Disney fans have been waiting for news regarding still-rumoured title Epic Mickey 2 since news first slipped around the first of the year.
An online newsletter from Disney has again confirmed long-circulating rumours about Epic Mickey 2, and says the game will release on PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii in spring 2012, reports the site StitchKingdom.com.
