Looks nice. This and KH 3D should satisfy my disney itch on 3DS.

Oh wow, just saw a screenshot.
That's fucking beautiful. I can't wait to see how it animates.

Looks ah-mah-zing!
'Hey guys, we're working on Epic Mickey 2, and this time it'll be multiplat. Yep, you heard me right, it'll be on Wii, PS3, 360 and PC. But the good version, the one that actually gets people talking and gets them hyped? Yeah, 3DS only'. Goddamn it, Spector *shakes fist*

Seen it! Scrooge McDuck?! 
HYPE!
This could become a day one purchase!
Agreed! But I guess EM 2 is going to have more sway over regular customers than just having Illusion in the title.

That's the most 16-bit game I've ever seen.

Screenshot is a major gamechanger, thought it might be an iffy-looking 3D game but this pleases me immensely, also seeing the likes of Scrooge warms the cockles of me heart, hope it has a lot of other older characters in there too (psst Julius the cat should be in here, just sayin)
But yeah, get the gameplay down pat and this will most certainly be getting my money, or picking it over the home console version for sure at least : )

The screen looks amazing, I like the definition Mickey and Scrooge have in the screen. And the scenery is beautiful.
Also there seems to be some kind of money system.
Why?, the first one, like it or not, has at least a million fans, mostly kids, that loved the first game to death. They didnt mind the camera, and they didnt mind the collecthaton, they just had fun with it. My small cousis love the game to death, and the kids at their school think the same.
If this kids have a 3DS they are going to beg to their parents to get this game in christmas, and the n you have "of Ilussion" that makes old fans nostalgic. Its a win win situation and I think the marketing have done great by uniting both franchises in name.
The game is going to sell no matter what.

I see what you are saying, and obviously you are correct, as we don't have a final title on any of these different versions yet. It's worth keeping in mind though that while we wait for more news these games are all being announced and hyped under the Epic Mickey 2 banner.
I would like to see them drop the Epic Mickey part of the title from the 3DS version entirely, as it is clearly its own game and shouldn't be associated with the primary version of Epic Mickey 2 on Wii. Not giving the 3DS game its own identity could (and will in my opinion) negatively impact sales, as it did with Sonic Colours, which appeared on both Wii and DS, as two very different games which shared everything from the title to the cover art to the marketing material in general.

I think there is co-op with oswald in this game as well. It could have others. Hopefully, more details come out soon.

I was worried people wouldn't be making anymore 2D sprite based games on the 3DS due to better polygonal performance, but the new screens inspire more confidence that 2D sprite based games won't die out at retail.
Ah cool, thanks for the info! Let's just wait for info on online or local.
either way, i need to get my GF a own 3DS then.... Or wait fora cool new edition...or revision to gift her the old device.
any date on the yet?

Apart from using it as marketing (see my post above) both games are tied in story and characters. Again, why the fuck will you not call it Epic Mickey.
They dont even share the same exact title, and im pretty sure they will not have even the same cover art, so no, it isnt similar to the Sonic case. Also add that the quality of the Sonic Colors game in portable was in no way good.

Thanks for the tip. Looks great! Ducktales needs to get this kind of treatment.
When I see a handheld with the same name as a console game, it screams 'me too'. Not sure how this reflects to other consumers, but if I was a Mickey fan, I'd pick up Epic Mickey 2 for Wii/PS360 AND Mickey's Adventure : Castle of Illusions for 3DS.
If the handheld is a success, now they have a separate pillar.
Atleast drop the '2'. This game is completely different than the first Epic Mickey, there is no reason to label it a sequel. Seems unjust to call this 'the handheld version' to what appears to be a neat game.
Yep. I guess it was part of the wording; don't know if from the original article or the summary. Since to many, pixelart is "hand drawn sprites" more because of the way it is done (i.e. not 3D models); than by actually looking like a drawing (like Rayman Origins).

Other consumers, as if kids and parents, dont give a shit. Much less when we are talking about Mario or Mickey.
Nostalgic people already know from internet /magazines the 16 bit goodness, so they have that base covered.
As I say, the game doesnt have the same name, and probably will not have even the same cover, so it totally different from the sonic situation.
Also Disney marketing and ads in tv.
You realize that the thread title is the only source for the 2 in the title? Nintendo Power apparently doesn't use it.
There's that too.
For Epic Mickey I remember people talking about demo units across the parks and on the Disney Channel there were trailers, spots, interviews, running along their usual programming.

I've seen some more screens now, including of the Peter Pan level. Hype slightly dented, it looks... a little bit pedestrian, level design wise, as with Monster Tale, but this is extrapolating from a handful of small screenshots. I'm really trying not to get my hopes too high, but I've been wanting a new Illusion game for ever.
This.
