Rumor: Epic Mickey 2 Heading to the 3DS
France’s Nintendo Magazine has revealed through a tweet that some kind of presentation featuring Epic Mickey 2 will happen next week. The magazine specifically points to a 3DS version of Epic Mickey 2 called Power of Illusion. Those familiar with Mickey’s Sega Genesis/Mega Drive adventures will likely find similarities between Power of Illusion and the two ’90s titles World of Illusion along with Castle of Illusion.
To make things even more interesting, the tweet also points to a “classic” 2D game that will be shown. Epic Mickey 2 has not yet been confirmed to be in development, but various signs have pointed to such being the case.
