Warren Spector Pays Further Tribute to Disney History with Sequel
Oswald the Lucky Rabbit to Debut in a Co-Starring Role and Make His First Ever Appearance as a Playable Video Game Character
London, UK – (March 23, 2012) – Disney UK today announced the development of “Disney Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two”, the sequel to the critically acclaimed and commercially successful “Disney Epic Mickey” video game. In “Disney Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two”, gamers will play as Mickey Mouse and for the first time ever, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, Walt Disney’s first cartoon star, in an all-new adventure of creativity and discovery. Created by video game industry luminary Warren Spector and Disney Interactive’s Junction Point game development studio, “Disney Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two” returns the franchise to the Wii™ system from Nintendo, and expands it to new HD consoles including the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system.
“As a life-long Disney fan, working with Mickey Mouse in the original ‘Disney Epic Mickey’ was a truly humbling experience,” said Warren Spector, creative director and vice president, Junction Point. “Millions of fans fell in love with Mickey as a video game hero and I know they’ll experience similar emotions when they get to interact with and actually play as Oswald the Lucky Rabbit in ‘Disney Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two.’”

Hayashida on possibility of Mario 3D Land sequel and 3D Mario 64 remake, and more

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News, Wii | 0 comments

Yet another interview with Koichi Hayashida has made its way online. This time, Game Informer has published their own Q&A with the Super Mario 3D Land director.

There are two things in particular to take away from the interview. A Super Mario 3D Land sequel (like Galaxy 2) is unlikely, as is a 3D remake of Super Mario 64.

Super Mario 64 is a specifically interesting case. In the “testing” phase for 3D Land, the team took a level from Mario 64 and basically threw a 3D coat on it. However, as Hayashida mentions below, the staff soon realized “that the way the levels were all designed was going to create so many stereo window violations”. Hayashida added, “we did rule out a remake of Super Mario 64 in stereoscopic view on the Nintendo 3DS.”

Head past the break for the full rundown of Hayashida’s comments.
