Epic Mickey director Warren Spector held a Reddit AMA a few days back. Spector shared plenty of insight about the original game and its sequel, and tackled some very interesting questions. He was asked about topics like Epic Mickey’s dark concept art that never seemed to be realized, how he tried pitching a film based on the series to Disney, and the one thing about Mickey he couldn’t show.
You can find a full roundup of Spector’s comments below. They’re certainly worth checking out!

Update (5/1): Pre-orders open at Best Buy.
Pre-orders are now live for Mighty No. 9’s physical version. You can reserve the game on Amazon here
or GameStop here. Note that there is not a 3DS option at present, which makes sense given how the portable versions are arriving later.
It’s also worth mentioning that Amazon and GameStop are listing the same price point. Mighty No. 9’s physical release appears to be priced at $30.

Yacht Club dev would like to see Tingle in Shovel Knight, wanting the character in Smash Bros.
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, 3DS eShop, News, Wii U, Wii U eShop | 13 Comments
In the PlayStation versions of Shovel Knight, Yacht Club included a special stage featuring Sony’s Kratos character. The same was done for the Xbox One version, which has a Battletoads boss level. There’s nothing similar to speak of at present for Shovel Knight on Wii U or 3DS, but that doesn’t mean Yacht Club Games isn’t interested in the possibilities. Far from it actually!
In an interview with GamingBoulevard, Yacht Club Games’ David D’Angelo spoke about the character he’d like to see in the Nintendo versions of Shovel Knight if the opportunity presented itself:
Who knows?! It’d be amazing to work with a Nintendo IP. They have so many great ones to choose from. I usually go for the weirdos, so Tingle would be right up my alley.
Elsewhere in the interview, D’Angelo spoke about his interest in seeing Shovel Knight in Smash Bros.:
Absolutely, Shovel Knight in smash would be incredible! We play Smash Bros. pretty much every day, and to see our character as part of the roster would be an amazing honor! Lots of our fans have come up with really great descriptions for attacks and final smashes, I’d suggest checking them out!
