Disney Epic Mickey 2 interest surveyed

Disney Epic Mickey may receive a sequel, as a survey is circulating to gauge interest. It will purportedly feature co-op split-screen play.

We may see a sequel to Disney Epic Mickey, if a new marketing survey is any indication. The sequel is planned for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and the Wii, and allegedly features 2-player split-screen with Mickey and Oswald the Lucky Rabbit.

Destructoid reports that the marketing survey also includes various subtitle possibilities, including Return of the Mad Doctor, The Power of Two, and Mystery on Mean Street.

It's worth keeping in mind that even if the survey is legitimate, marketing surveys aren't a sure-fire indicator of a release. They're made to gauge potential interest, so the fate of the game probably lies in the hands of those taking the survey. Still, Junction Point has been quiet since releasing the first game, and these sequel concepts seem deep in development.

Disney Epic Mickey wasn't the breakout hit that Disney had hoped for, but the company was ultimately pleased with its performance thanks to strong December sales. In January, Disney studios including Junction Point suffered layoffs as part of a "restructuring process."

      I just hope it's done by some one who understands the concept of fun.

      How about a decent game on a modern console with real controllers and a working camera?

        I could deal with the visuals, I could even deal with the camera if they made it more coherent and fun.

      What is frustrating is that judging from the comments by Warren Spector himself about people's complaints about the bugs and camera issues (basically he dismisses them outright) it'll probably have more of the same problems. The guy is too surrounded by sycophants and yes-men to get anything productive out of him.

        Warren has lost his magic after the original Deus Ex, which is pretty sad...
