As we mentioned earlier, Gamers Digital and Big John Games brought Coaster Creator 3D to GDC 2012. While the game is in a pre-alpha state, the project is incredibly promising.

We think you’ll agree once you read up on the details below.

– Draw your track on the touch screen
– What your draw appears in 3D on the top screen
– Change the track in three dimensions with the stylus by pushing/dragging
– Track changes occur in realtime on the top screen
– “Brush system”: tune track radius by selecting larger sections at once
– Interface inspired by Maya (computer software)
– Parts library planned
– Basic customization of the track and seats in the demo
– Career mode: players will start off designing simpler tracks in a small family-run kid’s park that don’t involve too many G’s and will work their way through the industry designing more ambitious tracks
– Design other areas of the park, add concession stands, other rides, queuing lines, etc.
– Share tracks with QR codes
– Miis ride the cars with proprietary avatars
– They’ll respond to track conditions appropriately
– Might have a camera system like those found in real rides designed to take shots of the characters
– Record your own screams, will be played during the ride
– Arcade mode is planned
– In this mode, players would tilt the 3DS to collect stars as you pass by on the tracks

Capcom usually has at least one Nintendo game announcement or update to share at Captivate. In 2011, for instance, we received a new trailer and screenshots for Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D.

It looks like things will be no different this year.

When asked if some of tomorrow’s “Capcom goodness” will be Nintendo-related, IGN editor Rich George said,

“There will be something that interests you, I think.”

You know what would be nice? A Monster Hunter Tri G localization announcement.

We’ll be here tomorrow morning at 11 AM of course, so stay tuned for any announcements – assuming there are any! We’ll definitely have a huge update on Gaming Everything as well.

Gamers Digital and Big John Games debuted Coaster Creator 3D at GDC 2012 last month. It should be noted that the video above is representative of an unfinished project, as the game is currently in the pre-alpha concept stages.

We’ll have more details on this shortly…

Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two is in development for a number of different platforms. However, the game won’t be coming to the Wii U.

There had been a rumor about a Wii U version/Wii U tablet support back in February, but based on recent comments from Junction Point’s Warren Spector, fans shouldn’t count on any Epic Mickey 2 action on the new console.

When asked if he had given any thought to a Wii U version in the latest issue of Nintendo Power, Spector said:

“We’ve certainly thought about it. It’s a really interesting piece of hardware. Unfortunately, we were already too far into development by the time it was announced. So there’s just no way we could get it out by the time Wii U launches. I mean, who knows what’s going to happen in the future? But for right now, there are no plans. There is all sorts of fun stuff we could do with that controller, though.”

Nintendo fans can get their Epic Mickey 2 fix on the Wii. It’ll also be made available on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC, and Mac. A 3DS spinoff is in the works as well.
