Note: This is the very first review written by podcast crew member Laura. Be nice, but be sure to let us know if it’s really terrible so we can fire her.
With a lot of gaming franchises you’ll end up seeing a poorly-transferred version of a console game come out for the handheld device of the time, presumably for some easy money. Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion takes that idea and gives it more hope. While the game has quite a few flaws, it carries many of the same elements as the original console game but at the same time holds strong on its own. Disney Interactive Studios has created a whole new game for the 3DS that fits with in the Epic Mickey world, and instead of trying to recreate an entire console game and shrink it down for a handheld device, they used the transfer to their advantage.
[Review] Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two (Wii Version)
Posted on 11 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in Podcast Stories, Reviews, Wii | 0 comments
I’ve said about the first Epic Mickey that it was a flawed, but ultimately deeply engaging exploration platforming experience. We don’t have enough of the genre these days, so when the inevitable sequel to the game– tag-lined “The Power of Two”– was announced, I felt quite a bit of reserved excitement. If Junction Point could manage to take the good of the first game, strike out the bad, and add just a few minor touches, we would have this generation’s Banjo Kazooie. After playing the game, I still stand by that concept.
The problem is that they didn’t do it.

Inazuma Eleven: The Legend of Endou Mamoru is seeing a last-minute delay. Originally scheduled for release in Japan on November 29, the game has now been pushed back to an unspecified time this winter, likely 2013.
With the delay, Level-5 will be using the extra time to check the quality of the software.
