No Wii U version of Epic Mickey 2, here’s why

While Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two is already being released on two more consoles than the first game, it’s not going to be released on the Wii U, which should be out around the time the game is complete. There had been rumours of the game coming to the tablet-enabled console but it turns out that Epic Mickey 2 is too far into development for it to make it to the Wii U.

Speaking in the latest issue of Nintendo Power, Junction Point’s Warren Spector has commented on the rumours saying “We’ve certainly thought about it. It’s a really interesting piece of hardware. Unfortunately, we were already too far into development by the time it was announced. So there’s just no way we could get it out by the time Wii U launches. I mean, who knows what’s going to happen in the future? But for right now, there are no plans. There is all sorts of fun stuff we could do with that controller, though.”

So you’ll just have to enjoy the game on the consoles its coming too (or look into the great looking 3DS companion game). Don’t stress, you could play the game on the Wii U if really wanted to anyway.
