Epic Mickey(3DS) is a port of the Wii game, Epic Mickey by Junction Port Studios. The port was done by Dimps.
Gameplay[]
The gameplay is alike its Wii counterpart, but in a 2D perspective. The player must use the touch screen(or C-stick if you're on New 3DS or the Circle Pad Pro) to aim their paintbrush and use the R and L buttons to use Paint and Thinner respectively. The player can either use the D-Pad or Circle Pad to move Mickey, and use the A button to jump and interact with NPCs, they can also use the B button to do a spin attack and can use X to switch between sketches.
Plot[]
The plot is the same as the Wii game. Mickey Mouse enters The Wasteland, a place for Toons that have been forgotten and is ruled by Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, Mickey's older brother. Mickey must save Wasteland from The Blot after he caused the Thinner Disaster.
Differences[]
- The gameplay is 2D instead of 3D.
- Cutscenes are text boxes with screen caps from the animated cutscenes, instead of being fully animated like in the Wii version.
- Character mumbles in cutscenes have also been replaced with little reaction noises, Oswald's noises now being voice by Tom Kenny, causing Oswald to sound a bit like Spongebob in a deeper octave.
Reception[]
Epic Mickey (3DS) has received positive reviews, on par with the reviews its Wii counterpart received. A common complaint is the somewhat cumbersome controls when aiming the Paintbrush with the touch screen, but the game was still regarded as a good game nonetheless.
