Spector says Epic Mickey “did exceptionally well”, talks improvements, DuckTales and Marvel interest
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Wii | 0 comments
So this is a little bit awkward. Junction Point’s Warren Spector has opened up on improvements he would make to Epic Mickey, but we all know a sequel is on the way – and it should be announced next week. Spector says he would improve the game’s camera, would bring it to additional platforms, and would include co-op and full voice acting. Two of these points were mentioned in a newsletter distributed by Disney.
Spector also revealed that Epic Mickey “was the best-selling single-platform game the company has ever done” and once again expresses interest in making a new DuckTales game (as well as a Marvel title).
Head past the break for Spector’s commentary.

EB Games destroying Donkey Kong 3D displays
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii | 0 comments
EB Games really, really wants to quell the Donkey Kong 3D rumors. The retailer has asked all stores to destroy the displays for the non-existent game, as well as boxes for Kirby 3D and Luigi’s Mansion 2 for Wii.
When you think about it, it doesn’t make much sense as to why these displays were added to the stores in the first place. At least EB Games/GameStop is looking to move past the situation…
