Disney and Junction Point worked together on two Epic Mickey games. At one point, a third title of sorts was planned, but was ultimately cancelled.

Disney illustrator Patrick Block is now selling concept art from what would have been Epic Donald. In his post, Block states that the game would have featured “Donald Duck, Duckburg, and the assorted classic world clan.” The team was “fully paid” for its concept pieces, though the project was never made. Disney ended up changing its focus in the gaming market, so it was scrapped.

You can find concept art from the cancelled Epic Donald below. We also have Block’s message after the break.

Dragon Quest X is heading to NX. Dragon Quest XI also appears to be a lock for the system. Square Enix’s efforts for the series on Nintendo’s upcoming system may not stop there.

At Gamescom this week, DualShockers spoke with Dragon Quest series producer Noriyoshi Fujimoto. When asked if Square Enix is considering a port of Dragon Quest Builders for NX, he said that the company is aware of the compatibility between Dragon Quest and Nintendo consumers. Fujimoto wouldn’t say that it’s happening, but the team is looking into the possibility. He added that Builders is a family-oriented title, so it’d be a good match for NX.

Nintendo has updated the boxart for Mario Party: Star Rush. It’s certainly much nicer-looking now, and it no longer has the same image as an old Spaghetti-O’s can.

Here’s the previous version for reference:

Cartoon Network and GameMill Entertainment have formally announced Cartoon Network: Battle Crashers. Screenshots from the game are available along with details.

Cartoon Network: Battle Crashers is described as a side-scrolling action game with lighthearted humor. A tear in the universe is created after Uncle Grandpa accidentally hits the multidimensional switch on his RV. In doing so, the heroes of some of Cartoon Network’s biggest shows are brought together to take down threats from their animated worlds.

Six playable characters are included: Uncle Grandpa, Finn & Jake from Adventure Time, Rigby & Mordecai from Regular Show, Clarence, Gumball from The Amazing World of Gumball, and Steven of Steven Universe. Each one can be swapped at any time. With some enemies, you’ll need to use a specific hero’s ability to defeat them. GameMill promises “special stages with varied gameplay, boss battles and light character progression and customization.”

Cartoon Network: Battle Crashers will be a solo experience on 3DS. Unfortunately, the co-op multiplayer feature we heard about in a previous retailer listing is only in the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions. But there is a bonus Bonkers mode in which players can replay stages “with even more wild challenges”.

Cartoon Network: Battle Crashers launches in November. The game will be available both physically and digitally.
