Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two launch date announced

Dynamic Disney duo Mickey and Oswald will be returning to the U.S. on November 18, 2012. Disney Interactive finally announced a release date for the much anticipated sequel Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two.

The sequel to the popular Wii-exclusive will arrive in the U.K. on November 23, 2012.

“Our fans have told us how eager they are for a sequel to Disney Epic Mickey and I’m happy to be able to reveal the launch date for Disney Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two,” said Junction Point creative director and vice president Warren Spector. “I think players are going to be excited by the new areas of the game being revealed at E3 where they will need to determine who their friends really are as they team up Mickey Mouse and Oswald to restore balance in Wasteland.”

Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two takes what the original game did and improves upon it adding split-screen drop-in/drop-out co-op, fully voiced-over characters, original songs, and better control over the game's cameras (a big complaint about the first game).

Disney Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two returns Mickey Mouse and Oswald the Lucky Rabbit to Wasteland, an alternate world filled with more than 80 years of forgotten Disney characters and theme park attractions.  But for the first time, Mickey and Oswald will join forces as true partners – Mickey with the magical paint brush that allows him to wield paint and thinner, and Oswald with a powerful remote control that allows him to command electricity. It will be available for Xbox 360, PS3, and Nintendo Wii.
