Disney Closing ‘Epic Mickey’ Video Game Developer
It’s a sad time for “Epic Mickey” fans. The interactive division of the Walt Disney Co. announced that it is closing Junction Point Studios, its Texas-based developer that created “Disney Epic Mickey” and its 2012 sequel “Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two.”
Disney said the closure is part of its “effort to address the fast-evolving gaming platforms and marketplace” and to align its resources with its key priorities. Disney acquired Junction Point in 2007. The studio was led by Warren Spector.
Staring Mickey Mouse and Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, both “Epic Mickey” games were set in Wasteland, a warped version of Disneyland.
The first “Epic Mickey” was released only for the Nintendo Wii. It was the 6th best-selling game the month it was released in 2010. “Epic Mickey 2,” which was available for the Wii, as well as the Sony PlayStation 3 and Microsoft’s Xbox 360, didn’t crack the top 10 when it was released last November, according to gaming industry tracker NPD Group.
Disney unveiled plans earlier this month for a new franchise combining a toy line and a game called “Disney Infinity,” similar to “Skylanders” from Activision-Blizzard Inc. “Infinity” is being developed by Disney’s Salt Lake City, Utah-based developer Avalanche Software and is set to debut in June alongside “Monsters University,” the 3-D prequel to the ”Monsters Inc.”

Epic Mickey 2 – The Power of Two Giveaway
Epic Mickey 2 – The Power of Two came out last month and My Daughter and I have not put this game down since. It is so much fun and is easy to pick up and play for just a few minutes or a few hours. There is so much to do and explore we just love it!
Here is some info about the game:
In “Disney Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two,” gamers will play as Mickey Mouse and for the first time ever, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, Walt Disney’s first cartoon star, in an all-new adventure of creativity and discovery. Created by industry luminary Warren Spector and Disney Interactive’s Junction Point game development studio, “Disney Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two” returns Mickey Mouse and Oswald the Lucky Rabbit toWasteland, an alternate world filled with 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 his magical paintbrush that wields paint and thinner, and Oswald with his powerful remote control that allows him to command electricity.
We want to share with you (thanks to our friends at Disney) your very own copy of Epic Mickey 2! This week we are giving away 5 copies of Epic Mickey 2 – The Power of Two on any game console (even the WiiU) and we are even throwing in a pair of Oswald Ears too!
