Epic Mickey 2 - another round of details
-Mickey's paint/thinner and Oswald's electricity can erase or befriend foes.
-Mickey's paint/thinner can be amplified by combining them with Oswald's electricity
-Oswald's new powers include spinning his ears like a helicopter to hoverjump and he can detach an arm to use as a boomerang (can be used to reach faraway items)
-in solo play, Oswald is AI-controlled only. However, Warren Spector states, "His AI is pretty darned good. He genuinely does helpful things."
-Junction Point worked with Nintendo to improve the camera. Nintendo provided great feedback.
-Frank Welker voices Oswald and Cary Elwes voices Gus the Gremlin.
-Award-winning comic book writer Marv Wolfman helped with the game's dialogue and story.
-any changes you make to the environment with paint/thinner will actually be permanent this time.
-Mickey will gain/lose abilities based on the player's interactions, further enhancing the "Playstyle Matters" concept.
-the game has a Fantasia-themed tutorial level.
-each of the hubs in the game has a train station that can be repaired to provide a shortcut from region to region.
-a new physics engine is being used. Physics will play a bigger role in puzzles.
-2D cartoon levels with return and some are hinted at being based on the Oswald cartoons.
-collectible pins return, however, their concept is being taken further in this game.
Thanks to Alejandro for the heads up!
