Disney Interactive Studios has released the first official screenshots/art of Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion. The images showcase DreamRift’s gorgeous sprite-work and 2D visuals.
Power of Illusion will act as a sequel to the original Epic Mickey as well as a followup to the classic SEGA Genesis title, Castle of Illusion.
Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion launches this fall.
Gearbox chief creative officer Brian Martell has said that the Wii U version of Aliens: Colonial Marines “will be one of the best looking versions of the game”. This comes following rumored developer comments that the Wii U’s power isn’t at the same level as the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
Martell didn’t go into detail about hardware specs, but he did suggest that the console has more RAM and a “really great processor”.
Martell said:
“I think things like the Wii U are becoming very sexy with what you can do with the controller and especially with what we’re able to do with using things like motion tracker or whatever sub gameplay will be that you get to see on there.
“I think that’s a compelling experience. I think the machine itself will be one of the best looking versions of the game, because they’ve got more RAM than some of the other things and they’re late in the cycle, so they’ve got this really great processor and all that kind of stuff.”
A new batch of Aliens: Colonial Marines screenshots/art can be found here.

Experience the Acclaimed Pokémon Series in an Entirely New Way in this Hand-Held Adventure
REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– A creative new entry in the Pokémon family of video games delivers a new way for fans to enjoy this legendary series on the Nintendo DS family of systems. Pokémon Conquest, set to launch on June 18, offers a fun new way to play Pokémon in a unique world called Ransei that is filled with adventure. Developed by TECMO KOEI GAMES Co., Ltd., the 2D game can also be played on the Nintendo 3DS system.
In Pokémon Conquest, players take on the role of a young Warlord who is linked with a Pokémon. Together, they must set out to recruit Warrior allies to strengthen their growing kingdom. Along their journey, players will encounter a variety of Pokémon, as well as Warriors and Warlords inspired by the Japanese feudal era. The game contains nearly 200 Pokémon, including many from the recent Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version games, which have sold more than 4 million copies combined in the United States.
Another batch of Fire Emblem: Awakening details have been translated from the latest Iwata Asks. You can read about the team’s approach to downloadable content and more.
The new information is as follows:
– Downloadable content topic arose at the end of development
– Scheduling was a bit tight
– The producer said something along the lines of “So, should we add download content?” rather than “Let’s add download content”
– Request arrived extremely late, so they couldn’t do things like remove passages from the main game or make adjustments to passages in the game
– Might not have been a problem
– Iwata said one concern with games and DLC is making sure you have enough built into the main game so that you absolutely will not hear criticism that the game is too lacking in content for those who don’t buy the DLC
– The team is currently making the DLC
– Plans to continue making more DLC from here on out
– SpotPass Team will be sent out to players on a daily basis
– This team will include characters made in the image of past Fire Emblem characters
– Fight the team, make them into allies, etc.
– Roughly 120 teams will be sent out
– Optional first-person mode included in the game
– Added because the staff believed it would work well with 3D
Thanks to 4Him for the tip!
Fire Emblem: Awakening will have a marriage system, as has been revealed in the second edition of Iwata Asks: Fire Emblem Awakening.
Director Genki Yokota and producer Hitoshi Yamagami were in agreement that adding in this element came from the idea of love of the characters being a major theme for this project. The marriage gameplay in Fire Emblem Seisen no Keifu left a big impression on Yamagami.
Fire Emblem: Awakening offers more couple combinations than ever before. Players can marry any ally or “My Unit” character. Special graphics were made for proposals, and Andriasang reports that some staff “even suggested that they make kiss faces for all the characters.”
