Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two makes the jump to PS Vita June 18

By Dave Tach on May 23, 2013 05.23.13

Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two, the co-op platformer from Blitz Games Studios starring a cast of Disney characters, is headed to PlayStation Vita June 18 with enhancements designed for Sony's handheld, according to a post on the PlayStation Blog. PS Vita players will be able to control the paint thinner and electric beam weapons by using the device's touchscreen as well as adjust the camera and control vehicles using the Vita's "orientation-based controls." Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two on PS Vita will also allow players to direct AI, select, drag and drop sketches, pop bubbles and navigate menus with the touchscreen.

Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two coming to PS Vita in the UK

By Griffin McElroy on Mar 18, 2013 03.18.13

Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two, Junction Point's co-op platformer which was the last title the studio developed, is coming to the PS Vita in the U.K., according to a recent tweet from Disney's U.K. chapter. No details about the port were revealed, though the tweet mentioned it would launch "later this year" and was accompanied by the PS Vita version's official box art, posted below. Disney U.K.'s Twitter feed does not mention whether the game will also be ported to Sony's handheld worldwide, or who will even be developing the game — Blitz Games was the outfit responsible for the game's Xbox 360, PS3 and PC ports, so it might be in charge of this version, as well. We've reached out to Disney to find out its plans for bringing the game stateside, assuming it has any.

Game designer Warren Spector bid farewell to his days at Junction Point following the company's closure with a letter posted to his Facebook page. "Yes, it's true," Spector wrote. "The Junction Point journey is over. To all those who've asked, or want to ask, I'm sad but excited for the future. "[Junction Point Studios] had a good eight year run. I got to work with some amazing people on some amazing projects. I've had some of the most magical times of my life, fulfilling several life-long dreams. I've gotten to know Disney fans and Disney cast members, gotten hands on with Disney's history, walked where Walt walked... 'Magical' really is the only word. Anyway, whatever you think of me, or Junction Point, or Disney or the Disney Epic Mickey games — yes, I know we polarized people!...

Disney Interactive posts $216 million loss for 2012 fiscal year

By Griffin McElroy on Nov 12, 2012 11.12.12

Disney Interactive, the video games branch of the massive entertainment company, posted losses of $216 million for its 2012 fiscal year, a period which ended Sept. 29, in the company's latest investor's report. The losses were chalked up to a lack of "significant" releases in the console space, a move Disney attributes to "an ongoing shift from console game releases to mobile and social game releases." Though the number reflects a dire state for the company's interactive arm, the numbers are better than the $308 million in losses posted for fiscal 2011. The report claims that a lack of marketing and development expenditures helped cut nearly $100 million from the company's total overhead. Disney Interactive also posted $845 million in revenues for the fiscal year, $191 million of...
