On this week’s episode: Mario Kart 7, Super Mario 3D Land, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword and the Nintendo eShop.
If you want to play the second installment in the Sonic the Hedgehog 4 series, you’ll have to download it on a platform other than Wii. SEGA has confirmed that Episode 2 will not be released for WiiWare.
Brand Manager Ken Balough wrote on the company’s official forums:
“…Episode II unfortunately will not be coming to the Wii – for reasons most people have probably guessed, but that doesn’t mean the SEGA isn’t supporting Nintendo platforms, we have a very strong partnership and will continue to do so.”
The situation is most likely related to WiiWare’s file size limitation. The developers are using a new graphics engine (and a new physics engine), which may make it difficult to cram the game into 40 MB.
You can find the first photos of the special 3DS hardware edition of Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D in the gallery above. It’ll be included in a Japanese hardware bundle that launches alongside the game on March 8.
As we found out yesterday, Konami and Kojima Productions will provide more information about the bundle on January 20.
A newsletter circulated by Disney indicates that Epic Mickey 2 will be announced in the future. While the newsletter has since been edited, it originally stated that the game would be hitting Wii, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 in Fall 2012. Interestingly, the notice contained the same exact blurb found in a survey posted back in August.
The following was found inside the newsletter before it was edited:
“Disney Epic Mickey 2 is the latest game in the critically acclaimed Disney Epic Mickey videogame series. In this all-new action-platforming game available for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Wii, Mickey embarks on an epic journey and is pulled back into a world filled with Disney’s forgotten characters. Players can choose to play single-player as Mickey or for the first time players can also choose 2-player split screen mode. In the 2 player mode one person can play as Mickey wielding magic paint and paint thinner to dynamically change the world and the second player can play as Oswald the Lucky Rabbit – Walt Disney’s first cartoon star – with the power to fly like a helicopter and use electricity to fight or friend enemies and solve challenges. Team-up and choose your path to save this forgotten world because the choices you make will alter the story and change the end of the game!”
At this point, Epic Mickey 2 seems like a foregone conclusion. The first title sold very well and bringing the franchise to other platforms wouldn’t be the least bit surprising.
