GamesRadar has uploaded a nearly five-minute walkthrough of the upcoming Epic Mickey 2, demonstrating the 360 build and the new drop-in, drop-out co-op. GR has confirmed suspicions that the Wii version is the lead platform. Junction Point is handling Wii development itself, while the HD ports are in the care of Blitz Games, previously responsible for Bad Boys: Miami Takedown and the Burger King Xbox games. Yummy.
In addition, it looks like co-op is limited to local play for now. That may or may not change in the future.
Then there is the Nintendo Power confirmation of the rumored 3DS companion title. Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion is being handled by DreamRift, previously responsible for the low-key but fun DS gems Henry Hatsworth and Monster Tale. Personally, the portable version is sounding more promising than its home console brothers. I've keep my eyes peeled for more info.
I was a big fan of Monster Tale; hopefully the 3DS version is released alongside the console version. Nice to see the Wii version get the attention it deserves. Hopefully PS3/360 ports get the same level of attention. (Can't we all just get along?)
My bad. I guess when I read: "Less hardware capability (no, not just graphics); more stringent/less effective patch system for future sustainability; less chance for paid DLC in the future to sustain development costs; if online coop is patched in later, it will be a nightmare on the Wii.", it sounded like you were blaming Nintendo and the Wii.
Add in the fact that you put 'lead' in parentheses and it almost sounded like you were being sarcastic about the Wii's ability.
