Spector says Epic Mickey “did exceptionally well”, talks improvements, DuckTales and Marvel interest
Posted on 12 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.
