Epic Mickey 2: The Power Of Two (Wii, PS3, 360)- Fall 2012

This is supposedly the First musical comedy game. I liked the first one despite it's flaws. I hope they eventually port it over to 360/ ps3 before 2 comes out.

First musical comedy game? Wasn't that Guitar Hero 5?

I was surprised to hear Spector's reasoning behind Epic Mickey not having voices

"Spector took responsibility for this choice, saying that he originally thought that if silent film character Oswald couldn't speak, then no one else should. Now he admits that this was a bad decision."

I always thought it was because of the Wii Hardware holding them back.

The first musical comedy game was Parappa the Rapper on the PS1.

i believe the only way to play this one is co-op as per GTTV if i remember from the show correctly. would have liked a nice single player platformer in this one.

You can play it solo I believe, the cpu just controls Oswald.

The control scheme for the original was great. And since the 360 doesn't support that, it's between the PS3 and Wii versions. I don't own a PS3, so Wii version again for me

The 3DS version is a sequel to the Sega Genesis game Castle of Illusion. Looks cool.
http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=141675
"Power of Illusion is being put together by DreamRift, the studio behind 2011's Monster Tale for the Nintendo DS. The game, which is its own side-scrolling, platforming title (instead of a mere port of The Power of Two), is a follow-up to Epic Mickey, but more interestingly, it's also a follow-up to Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse, a 1990 game for the Sega Genesis!

Randomly had The View on yesterday and they were promoting the Wii version on the show. Not the Wii U version, the Wii version. I was surprised by that.

I'm looking forward to the 3ds version instead of the console versions. It actually sounds like a completely different game.

Maybe that's because it's a different game.

The 3DS version sounds cool. I'll wait for reviews on both, though.

My daughter is getting a 3DS from Santa. I nabbed her Nintendogs and Epic Mickey. I'll have to steal it after bedtime and give Mickey a spin.

I kind of wish I would have just picked up the Wii version of this when it was $30 instead of the Wii U version. The Wii U version doesn't allow off screen play and doesn't even include the original Wiimote control scheme.

I'm reviewing the Wii U version. It's not terribly good, is it?

Not that I plan on getting one of these at any point in the near future, but do the boxes of WiiU games tell you that they are second screen games?

You mean games that can be played entirely on the Game Pad, or games that require both the TV and the game pad?

It seems like it will be enjoyable, enough. I haven't played it much. I wish it was part of the Nintendo Network. At least then I could hold out some hope for a patch that added in off screen play and Wiimote controls :/
