Disney Interactive has confirmed some disappointing news. Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two won’t have “TV off” support, so you won’t be able to play the game using only the gamepad’s screen.
Disney Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two is one of the greatest co-op platformers ever made, and can still be played on modern consoles & PCs.
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "There are few brands out there that have anything like the appeal and recognition of Disney. Thanks to decades of beautiful and critically acclaimed animated films, the company is a household name that has expanded beyond just movies to include a variety of other ventures, including videogames. Disney has also grown its lineup considerably in recent years by acquiring Marvel, Pixar, and Star Wars (although for the purposes of this article, I’ll only be covering Disney/Pixar output).
Thanks to their broad audience, Disney games usually show up on every viable platform out there, meaning that despite the brand’s affinity with Nintendo’s younger-skewing audience, both the PSP and Vita received a number of titles throughout their lives. Some of this was through Disney's own developer/publisher (Disney Interactive Studios), but the firm also licensed out its IPs for other companies to try their hand at – with somewhat mixed results."
Xbox Wire: "It’s true, constantly bringing more games to you is kind of our schtick at Xbox Game Pass, so let’s talk about the journey these latest additions took to get from us to you! We started with the customary good luck ceremony, during which we wrote heartfelt haikus in tribute to each game, and the social media team sang their rehearsal solos for the Xbox Game Pass: The Musical."
One of the few bright spots for the Xbox One is the Xbox Game Pass. I am waiting for them to be the Netflix of gaming. Even for new titles. That's the goal. That would be so awesome. That's like their main selling point.
It's shocking how much speed Game pass has picked up recently. The selection of new games is great so far.
UH OH...Sounds like they rushed this port. That can not be good. This game and Madden I am worried about. Although Madden is not getting the same upgrades as PS3 and Xbox they still made great use of the Gamepad. From what I have read anyway. I still wish they would have given Wii U the new engine for Madden.
Uh... big deal? As far as I know, the majority of Wii U games don't support the "playing only on the gamepad screen" feature. That is a option that game developers are free to pursue or not, according to their interests.
That doesn't mean Epick Mickey 2 won't use the GamePad screen at all, which the article of the title suggests at first glance. Very misleading.
I was hoping every game would have this. Bummer.
I doubt this is a sign of things to come and more that the Wii U is new. Who knows when they got their dev kits and how long it takes to get used to developing for that GamePad.
mickey is a washed up has been anyway.
