Epic Mickey 2 has over 150 pins, Spector teases Observatory
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii, Wii U | 0 comments
Players will be able to obtain a huge amount of pins in Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two. Over 150 different pins are included, and each will provide different buffs and boosts.
Aside from that, the game’s Director Warren Spector detailed other ways pins can utilized during a New York Comic Con roundtable.
Director Warren Spector discussed the pins feature at New York Comic Con 2012:
“You can go to the Pin Shop (on Mean Street) and show off your collection to your friends and all that. Unless you’re a crazy tester, you’re not going to get them all in one playthrough, but it is possible.”
Unfortunately, there won’t be any online connectivity involving the pins.
Spector explained why this isn’t an area the team decided to pursue:
“The reality is I’m kind of a kitchen sink designer. When you start a project, you just kind of get every idea from everybody. It’s almost like sculpting; you just cut the stuff that doesn’t fit. I hope in the future we can come back to some ideas we had for how to facilitate pin interactions. But that implies that there are plans and people are working, and that’s how I get in trouble. Which I guess I just did.”
Spector wrapped up by teasing the Observatory on Mean Street:
“If you find [the Observatory] on Mean Street and you look through it, you might find something about the world and the cartoon universe and all that stuff. It’s pretty cool.”
Nintendo dropping Wii price, includes disc with Wii Sports/Wii Sports Resort

Nintendo will be dropping the price of the Wii later this month. Ahead of the Wii U’s launch and the holiday shopping season, the old console will be available for $129.99 starting on October 28.
Wii’s last price drop came last year. It’s been on sale for $149.99 since May 2011.
Also on October 28, Nintendo will be including a new disc in the Wii package that bundles Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort together – that’s two games on one disc.
For further details, check out the announcement after the break.

It was recently announced that Nintendo’s old Wii Ambassador program, used to help others get online with the console, would be coming to an end in Japan. Plans are now in motion to wrap things up in Europe as well.
Nintendo of Europe made it official yesterday – the Connection Ambassador Promotion is ending on November 21 2012 at 23:59 CET (22:59 UK time).
The company highlighted a few things that those who are participating should keep in mind:
- If you have reached Gold or Platinum status but have not yet downloaded the titles you are entitled to, you will still be able to download them after the promotion has ended.
- After the end of the promotion, it will no longer be possible to gift titles which you received due to your Gold or Platinum status.
- After the end of the promotion, the person who has been helped can no longer receive 500 Wii Points if he or she has not started the Wii Shop Channel after both parties registered each other’s Wii Numbers.
