I absolutely agree about Epic Mickey 2. There is no way you could remake that game unless you make an entirely different story and gameplay mechanics. Also, unlike Epic Mickey 1 which was only on Wii, Epic Mickey 2 can be purchased on Steam and is backwards compatible with most consoles so if players really want to play Epic Mickey 2, they have options.
I feel like they should completely remake em2 but keel certain elements from the original em2. Like the golden ink, or maybe they could keep Oswald being a companion, only if of course they fix the horrible ai navigation.
I think remastering EM2 would be a good idea, it seems like the team was rushed to finish it and so there are a few glitches and such. Like Oswald's junky AI, and a few sidequests that could have been better fixed, also seeing the concept art and the beta level designs it seemed like there was SO much cut out due to time. EM3? I would LOVE that!
I think that the EM3 plot could be the Petes being the main antagonists, each of them having their own boss. While this, a sort of OsBlot like blot is created and, at the end, gets into the cartoon world, and have Mickey save the cartoon world So for example, Pete Pan would have his own boss in Venture land, you get the idea. But the OsBlot summons blotlings a lot and tries to stop Mickey from succeeding. Then the OsBlot escapes Wasteland and enters the Cartoon World, so Mickey has to save the Cartoon world from OsBlot. In the end, it’s like EM2, but you can adventure either in Wasteland or the Cartoon World, and you can switch settings whenever. Paint Path: Oswald is saved and reunites with Wasteland Thinner Path: Oswald is defeated and turned inert forever, making Ortensia the new leader of Wasteland. If we even ever get EM3, hopefully it follows this plot! Maybe with a few tweaks, but I think it’s perfect for a triquel!
I don't really think em2 was that bad. Sure, it's more janky in some places and not the same as the first game. The fact that the story is predictable does not bother me, it really just gets overly obvious when you get to Prescott, but in my opinion it doesn't ruin things for the developement since its pretty close to the end of the game. I at least feel like the extra personality the characters gained with the voice acting really gives things a nice touch, after all it's a disney game and even if it's not as dark as it's predecessor there is still some really good areas dark fiction-wise I understand how people may be bothered by the fact that its less dark, and loses some things that the first game had, but the video said it, em2 was rushed. A remake could bring back everything that couldnt be put in the game on time, revamp areas, give access to all the places that you lose access to from the first game, the replayability of bossfights and generally just let it be what disney didn't allow it to be. The Oswald situation was never really a problem for me because i always used 2 player mode, but im sure that even for people who just use the ai there could be ways to make it less boring, because to be honest Oswald doesn't even do "half" the work, he mostly assists you whenever you have to open a door or get something from high up. Also if you play with two real players a remake could have a bunch of potential to play into that, competitive modes, minigames and such. The og em2 coop wasnt even that bad. They could make it so that Oswald had a more meaningful presence when its 2 people playing and not so much when its just the ai. Yall say what you want but the mad doctor songs are goated, its not like the cutscenes of the first game didnt have a silly vibe to them, its kinda the point of mixing disney magic with dark fantasy. And the Petes being the next bosses to me isn't objectively bad, some people might feel like its lame but personally i believe it has good potential if done right. Em2 doesnt need to change entirely, it just needs to be allowed to be what disney didn't allow for. Many of the things it fails at could be just expanded upon a little more, polished a little more and it could be perfect. The story could be kept the same and the maps could just be expanded, maybe even rearranged a little in order to make the gameplay better. To sum it up, i think em2 isn't as irredeemable as people make it out to be, coop has great potential, areas have a lot of room to make a better fun experience, cutscenes and music have a lot of personality to them and even if it was flawed originally it was a good experience. I know the video said that too, but I did feel like i had to defend it in some other points.
I love the idea of the Pete’s being the next villain and it taking place in the cartoon world supposedly. It builds onto that universe and gives us more insight about the characters. That’s exactly how I felt about them using Prescott and the Mad Doc. There’s no need to introduce new characters when there’s already a surplus of them in Wasteland with their own stories to tell. People will find a way to complain abt a sequel in any way they can if it’s not an exact copy of its predecessor. But even if it is a copy they’ll still complain that it’s unoriginal. U just can’t win
I feel like the best idea for an epic Mickey 3 plot would be to focus on more forgotten aspects and characters of the Disney franchise, for example the Horned King from the black caldron could be a great antagonist
There's concept art of them going to other movie worlds, like Kingdom Hearts. Minnie is part of the gang and they battling the rhino's in Robin Hood, riding atop the animals in Jungle Book and also one of Timon and Pumbaa with robotic parts.
I feel like the best move would be to do a soft reboot of the series (maybe focusing on a different character) instead of EM2R. I imagine an “Epic Oswald,” a continuation of the first game that retcons the second, but still revisits and remixes worlds/concepts from EM2. That way, we get the best parts of EM2 AND a new game in the series.
Yes perfect answer! I would love to explore more of the dark theme park attractions in epic mickey 3!! And maybe have a few rides return?! The story should def have some iconic villains in there as wel:)! Maybe have a story where villains discover this world to corrupt and have all different kinds of disney characters join mickey to safe wastelands and oswalds park:)!
I think the Petes would make great villains if it was revealed that they were being led by the original bear Pete. He would fit right in the game as he is a forgotten character, another version of Pete and he was an Oswald villain before Mickey existed
I think THQ Nordic and purple lamp are going to make a epic Mickey 2 remake because remember the SpongeBob battle for bikini bottom remake there was battle mode co op mode if Rebrushed sells well they confirmed they will make an epic Mickey 2 remake
If they make an Epic Mickey 2 remake or a new installment in the franchise at all I'll still love it. Epic Mickey is one of the best video game franchises ngl.
personally, i believe for epic mickey 2 to get a remake, it would have to be a completely new sequel instead of a rebrushed style remake. epic mickey 2 is just an unsalvageable game in my opinion and would have to completely redone in order for it to be good
I still think the blot as a character shouldve been an overarching villian throughout the games allowing it to be called the "Blot Saga" The idea and way they integrated the blot was such a good idea i was a bit sad it was only in the first game and then the second one was about earthquakes and guardian pools
A 3rd game where the blot was prepping since it was defeated and enacted some plan that threatens both the wasteland and proper world would be interesting. Have places from disneys world that are on the verge of being forgotten be pulled into the wasteland by the blot and blend old and slightly newer lands
as someone who has grown up with EM2, i can firsthandedly agree that oswald's AI was completely broken half of the time i was just standing next to a VERY OBVIOUS elictricity spot or whatever and this stupid rabbit just spasms in place for two minutes before finally going "i'm all over it!" and just vanishing
As much as I would love for Purple Lamp to redo Epic Mickey 2,there are two big reasons that slightly concern me. 1. Purple Lamp had to ASK Disney to do the first game. Disney isn’t particularly concerned with gaming nowadays since it barely gives them anything substantial. While the game seems to be doing well, and critics are enjoying it. Disney probably is really uncaring towards it. And yes I know they said that if the first games remake does well they would ask Disney to do the second game but that leads me to my next point 2. Epic Mickey 2 requires kinda a lot more work to fix the issues. With the first game, improve the camera and make Mickey feel a bit better and it’s pretty much golden. But with the second game there’s more to fix, while many people have talked about having the story be rewritten I don’t think many people realize that, doing that entails needing to fully reanimate EVERY cutscene. Since trying to take the uncompressed cutscenes from the original won’t work. And due to how unique the style of the cutscenes are, it makes it quite difficult to just replicate it. They would either have to redo all the cutscenes in a sytle similar enough to the original, try to find the original artists to redo the style or just completely due away with that painted style for the cutscenes and have it all be in real time. Thats not even mentioning the need to bring in the voice actors to redub all the lines. Plus they would have to fix a lot of the smaller things as well like Oswald’s AI, which probably wouldnt take too long. But the story is the most well known problem with Epic Mickey 2, and it’s not as easy of a problem to fix as many people make it out to be. As if the rewrite happens, that then changes the gameplay as well as level order will have to be adjusted/changed, or the reasons for going to levels will need to change since the original reason for going there is no longer a valid one.
Honestly. 2 needs a reimaging if anything. And they kind of have to release before 3 or it would confuse newer audience since they wouldn't know the events that occured to get to that point.
Is it possible to reboot The series from the second on? Maybe even treating the second game that already exists is like an alternate timeline thing? Also perhaps they could get the original person that did all the epic Mickey stuff to consult like over the phone or something
i absolutely agree with everything in this video. epic mickey 2 overall doesn't feel as fun as the first in my opinion,and i almost don't understand anything in it,i'd say the game is decent,but not my cup of tea. also,it is confirmed in the graphic novel that the mad doc was redeemed.
They mentioned possibly remaking it if the first remake gets enough love, which I think could happen. They also mentioned a possible new third game coming out, but who knows.
Kinda late to this video, I haven't seen anyone comment about this, but I think adding a swap mechanic to epic mickey 2 would 1 completely fix any issues with the ai potentially sucking (of course I think they'd fix the ai on top of that), and 2 add a fresh incentive to play the game. Theres a lot of ways to fix games even when it doesn't seem like it, that and the environments getting a makeover to be a lot darker would be enough to sell me on the game. Obviously the story is the big one, idrk about that one bc I'm not a story writer. But regardless love the video and I hope the future if epic mickey is bright :)
I think they could remake Epic Mickey 2, but maybe just tweak the story and put more focus on more important things. The Mad Doc plot felt over-focused in my opinion, and the Petes being the set up villains for the 3rd game seems way less intimidating then it could be. The only villains I truly liked were the blot, because it's Mickey facing what he caused, and Prescott's arc, because it showed how the Mad Doc manipulated him. I still want some of these elements to stay in the 2nd one if a remake happens, but just update it to make it more enjoyable and fit the darker theme of Epic Mickey as a whole better. Epic Mickey 2 has so much potential to be great and it still does, but if Disney decides to actually give the writers time to make a good story, it can really end up a lot better then it was originally.
Iirc little kid me had more fun with Epic Mickey 2 over the first one I do agree the first one does have a better story but i love EM2 just because it was fun to me
If THQ Nordic & Purple Lamp studios are allowed to do another Epic Mickey project after Rebrushed does well. It will likely be a new game if the way that they have handled Spongebob games under that umbrella is to go by anything. I doubt they wanna remake a rough around-the-edges game like Epic Mickey 2 the same way that people were hoping that Purple Lamp was gonna remake more Spongebob games that weren’t as good as BFBB (Movie games included) and they just jumped the opportunity to make a new game instead, which was a smart move as Cosmic Shake is probably the 2nd best Spongebob or even the best one if you wanna get spicy
Good Video! I am with you on this. I think if they really want to and there are enough people, sure remake it or so, but I don't see this happen aswell. In my opinion, if they touch Epic Mickey2, they should preffer doing Bug fixes and giving Oswald a little better A.I. Would be enough for me, we got the second game on all consoles and it is nice to have. I liked the second one aswell, but the first still feels better for me. Maybe they can start with an Epic Mickey 3 mor like Epic Oswald! So you can play only him and look what happened after Epic Mickey 2.. they could also go for Epic Donald since all I have heard about it was amazing! But so or so.. we got Epic Mickey back and I am more than happy about it. I also hope more people see the game and want to try it out-
honestly, if they were able to convince Disney to let them remake epic mickey, I don't see why they wouldn't be able to convince them to let them do a full retake on epic mickey 2
Idea I have for epic mickey 3 while ik Pete's were the intended big bads for the 3rd game I think they can still have them be that just as a first boss but this time we face a new enemy a blotworks mickey this mickey was made by the mad doctor but during em2 but was never used so this mickey clone took parts from all mechanical boss fights and now it's cocktower plus mechanical dragon plus captain hook plus mad doctor mech all in one having Mickey and Oswald working together to face this new enemy that has the powers of both ink and thinner plus a artificial pure heart
going by what thq nordic did previously, epic mickey 3 will likley happen as there last remake spongebob battle for bikini bottom rehydrated they followed that with a sequel the cosmic shake & didn't remake the other game from the time the movie game
Im glad I'm not the only one that thinks Epic Mickey 2 shouldn't be remastered because it would be too complicated to develop because to remaster it basically repainting an unfinished product and to remake the game valid basically you have to make the whole game from scratch basically change the whole story for it to match the original idea the storyline so yeah I think if Epic Mickey rebrushed does well enough I think they should go to Epic Mickey 3
As much as it’s better for em2 to not get a remake, people keep acting like the story is absolutely unsalvageable, sure it’s a bit boring, but I think it can actually help the story bye it just simply being filler, how I see em as a whole is that the first game is the events that happend and fixing it, em2 being that where they try to repair back there lives and go back to normal, and possibly the 3 game is trying to go to terms with what happend and healing from that, the Pete’s don’t even need to be the main bad guys, they could be just working for possibly the actual main villain, please warren don’t recon em2 :(
If they are ever going to make an Epic Mickey 2 rebrushed, PLEASE for the love of god, *DON'T* That game is a failure to the original Epic Mickey to the point where it just doesn't deserve a remake.
Possible, yes! Probable, no. EM 2 was so weak and broken that you'd have to make a completely new game to make it nearly as good as the 1st one. The only good parts were the voice acting, and soundtrack; especially the music for the Walt's Apartment easter egg! TT_TT
for the "branding" of the channel, FungusNitrogen as a name was just 2 random words put together and didn't have any theme or connection to the rest of the channel and my style
I don’t think the story for Epic Mickey 2 was bad. I think that using characters that already existed in the universe was a great was to expand on the world. Some of y’all think you’re too “mature” for this game and use the story as a scapegoat. I can understand being frustrated by the mechanics since that’s a pretty important part of a video game, but acting like a children’s game isn’t good because the villain is “predictable” like all the sudden y’all are some professional critics with exquisite taste?? But how many times has Bowser been the villain of a Mario game and y’all never say it’s predictable? And I’ve heard some of u guys try to say it would b better if they brought the blot back or something like that as if that’s not tacky or predictable at all 🤦♂️ I think had this game not been rushed in development they should’ve taken more time to explain the characters’ thoughts and motives. Like maybe explain why Oswald was so easy to trust the Mad Doc (my theory is he has daddy issues and was desperate for a fatherly figure). And they should’ve shown more of the Mad Doctor’s villain side to explain his mindset to the audience to show us how he was literally dying and instead of going out in peace he was willing to destroy everyone and everything. That would’ve added to the creepiness. But then again, this was a rushed children’s video game so they couldn’t go into too much depth about the characters. Which is why I think it (the franchise) would’ve made a better movie but that’s another conversation. And for y’all that hate the game because it’s a musical I got news for u… u prob wouldn’t like 90% of what Disney does. I find this game very charming with all its quirks and I rlly think that most of its disdain comes from frustration that it’s not an exact rip of the first game
mid take, nobody has ever said that they’re too mature for Epic Mickey and anyone can say that the “twist” is weak and predictable, you don’t need to be a professional to criticize something
I absolutely agree about Epic Mickey 2. There is no way you could remake that game unless you make an entirely different story and gameplay mechanics. Also, unlike Epic Mickey 1 which was only on Wii, Epic Mickey 2 can be purchased on Steam and is backwards compatible with most consoles so if players really want to play Epic Mickey 2, they have options.
I feel like they should completely remake em2 but keel certain elements from the original em2.
Like the golden ink, or maybe they could keep Oswald being a companion, only if of course they fix the horrible ai navigation.
If spongebob got a sequel to their game made by the same devs then it's 100% possible for a third epic mickey or remake for EM2
I think remastering EM2 would be a good idea, it seems like the team was rushed to finish it and so there are a few glitches and such. Like Oswald's junky AI, and a few sidequests that could have been better fixed, also seeing the concept art and the beta level designs it seemed like there was SO much cut out due to time. EM3? I would LOVE that!
I think that the EM3 plot could be the Petes being the main antagonists, each of them having their own boss. While this, a sort of OsBlot like blot is created and, at the end, gets into the cartoon world, and have Mickey save the cartoon world
So for example, Pete Pan would have his own boss in Venture land, you get the idea. But the OsBlot summons blotlings a lot and tries to stop Mickey from succeeding. Then the OsBlot escapes Wasteland and enters the Cartoon World, so Mickey has to save the Cartoon world from OsBlot. In the end, it’s like EM2, but you can adventure either in Wasteland or the Cartoon World, and you can switch settings whenever.
Paint Path: Oswald is saved and reunites with Wasteland
Thinner Path: Oswald is defeated and turned inert forever, making Ortensia the new leader of Wasteland.
If we even ever get EM3, hopefully it follows this plot! Maybe with a few tweaks, but I think it’s perfect for a triquel!
I don't really think em2 was that bad. Sure, it's more janky in some places and not the same as the first game.
The fact that the story is predictable does not bother me, it really just gets overly obvious when you get to Prescott, but in my opinion it doesn't ruin things for the developement since its pretty close to the end of the game.
I at least feel like the extra personality the characters gained with the voice acting really gives things a nice touch, after all it's a disney game and even if it's not as dark as it's predecessor there is still some really good areas dark fiction-wise
I understand how people may be bothered by the fact that its less dark, and loses some things that the first game had, but the video said it, em2 was rushed.
A remake could bring back everything that couldnt be put in the game on time, revamp areas, give access to all the places that you lose access to from the first game, the replayability of bossfights and generally just let it be what disney didn't allow it to be.

I know the video said that too, but I did feel like i had to defend it in some other points.
I’m curious on how the Petes could be final bosses or antagonists but I’m here for it. I doubt they will be able to create machines or blot
I love the idea of the Pete’s being the next villain and it taking place in the cartoon world supposedly. It builds onto that universe and gives us more insight about the characters. That’s exactly how I felt about them using Prescott and the Mad Doc. There’s no need to introduce new characters when there’s already a surplus of them in Wasteland with their own stories to tell.

@@domthegreat815 so that’s why people are hating on em2 so much. I’m just confused like why the hate lol
I'm hoping this game does well enough to get them to remake Epic Mickey, and that does well enough for Part 3.
I feel like the best idea for an epic Mickey 3 plot would be to focus on more forgotten aspects and characters of the Disney franchise, for example the Horned King from the black caldron could be a great antagonist
There's concept art of them going to other movie worlds, like Kingdom Hearts. Minnie is part of the gang and they battling the rhino's in Robin Hood, riding atop the animals in Jungle Book and also one of Timon and Pumbaa with robotic parts.

Or the scrapped Epic Donald game
@@DarkCreed epic goofy where his goal is to save max
I say let them make a Epic Mickey 3
R.I.P Fungus Nitrogen
Why did he change his name?
@@Steamboat_Matty to make a "brand" for my channel and to make it connect with the rest of my style

Yes perfect answer! I would love to explore more of the dark theme park attractions in epic mickey 3!! And maybe have a few rides return?! The story should def have some iconic villains in there as wel:)! Maybe have a story where villains discover this world to corrupt and have all different kinds of disney characters join mickey to safe wastelands and oswalds park:)!
i like epic mickey 2 because its multiplayer. just playing with friends makes the game so much funner
Epic Mickey 3 would be so crazy bro 😭
If they do make an EM2 remake they need to do online co op to fix the ozwald problem
That would be perfect. I hate the Oswald AI
I hope were getting Epic Donald soon. It was sadly scrapped years ago.
Where is fungus, where is nitrogen
Honestly I'd love to see an epic mickey 3
Honestly I'd love them to delve into further of a twisted version of disney
Easy solution: REMAKE THE ROBOTS MOVIE TIE-IN GAME INSTEAD.
tim is not here anymore
I think the Petes would make great villains if it was revealed that they were being led by the original bear Pete. He would fit right in the game as he is a forgotten character, another version of Pete and he was an Oswald villain before Mickey existed
Regardless of future of the franchise, I am very elated to watch people play, especially myself!
Epic Mickey 2 Rebrushed could be beneficial
To be honest i would rather see it as a little bit a reimagined of epic Mickey 2 where original devs can show their original idea really is about.
Ooo I know Maybe we should get an Epic Mickey 3.
I feel like they can just do a port of Epic Mickey 2 and save their resources on a follow up, if it does well of course.
I think what they’ll do is if Epic Mickey 1 Rebrushed does well, they’ll remaster 2 and if that becomes successful epic Mickey 3 may come into place.
I think epic Mickey 2 might need a reimagining and the Oswald mechanic should work like in the Lego games. IMO
What if it was a 2 player game?
Like:
One player as Mickey.
One player as Oswald.
I really hope they remake Epic Mickey 2. Rebrushed was nearly flawless.
My sister and me played epic mickey two on the Wii and we have been waiting for the day it comes to switch hopefully they make that happen
I mean they are the same people behind battle for bikini bottom remake and then they made cosmic shake. So just maybe…
I think THQ Nordic and purple lamp are going to make a epic Mickey 2 remake because remember the SpongeBob battle for bikini bottom remake there was battle mode co op mode if Rebrushed sells well they confirmed they will make an epic Mickey 2 remake
Any comments? Then feel free to ask
We need a epic Mickey 3 to finish The story we’ve been teased for so long like megaman legends 3
They are all possible in my eyes
If Crash Bandicoot Trilogy Remake led to Crash Bandicoot 4, then this is possible.
Epic Mickey 2 Rebeushed: Online Mode
If they make an Epic Mickey 2 remake or a new installment in the franchise at all I'll still love it.
Epic Mickey is one of the best video game franchises ngl.
personally, i believe for epic mickey 2 to get a remake, it would have to be a completely new sequel instead of a rebrushed style remake. epic mickey 2 is just an unsalvageable game in my opinion and would have to completely redone in order for it to be good
I still think the blot as a character shouldve been an overarching villian throughout the games allowing it to be called the "Blot Saga"
The idea and way they integrated the blot was such a good idea i was a bit sad it was only in the first game and then the second one was about earthquakes and guardian pools
I need epic mickey ai gaming content back 🔥🔥🔥🔥🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️
We could go back to that blot idea hinted at during my the dioramas
I still hope for Epic Mickey 2 Rebrushed and an Epic Mickey 3
If they do Remake epic Mickey2 they should Change the story and make the game much longer.
A 3rd game where the blot was prepping since it was defeated and enacted some plan that threatens both the wasteland and proper world would be interesting. Have places from disneys world that are on the verge of being forgotten be pulled into the wasteland by the blot and blend old and slightly newer lands
I believe that both can happen, which would be the best.
as someone who has grown up with EM2, i can firsthandedly agree that oswald's AI was completely broken
half of the time i was just standing next to a VERY OBVIOUS elictricity spot or whatever and this stupid rabbit just spasms in place for two minutes before finally going "i'm all over it!" and just vanishing

Well destory all humans 2 got remastered and there's a leak saying there's another game coming so epic mickey might actually return
they should have the petes as side antagonists and then bring back the blot as the main one (revealed at some point into the game), for EM3
I think they would be able to make an epic mickey 2 remake with the current state of AI (Oswald). I say keep the story but add some more stuff.
Maybe the voice acting should be like the voice acting in sonic frontiers
Kinda late to this video, I haven't seen anyone comment about this, but I think adding a swap mechanic to epic mickey 2 would 1 completely fix any issues with the ai potentially sucking (of course I think they'd fix the ai on top of that), and 2 add a fresh incentive to play the game.

All I want for a 3 is to expand the parks. I wanna see a wasteland version of Epcot or California Adventure
I think they could remake Epic Mickey 2, but maybe just tweak the story and put more focus on more important things. The Mad Doc plot felt over-focused in my opinion, and the Petes being the set up villains for the 3rd game seems way less intimidating then it could be. The only villains I truly liked were the blot, because it's Mickey facing what he caused, and Prescott's arc, because it showed how the Mad Doc manipulated him. I still want some of these elements to stay in the 2nd one if a remake happens, but just update it to make it more enjoyable and fit the darker theme of Epic Mickey as a whole better. Epic Mickey 2 has so much potential to be great and it still does, but if Disney decides to actually give the writers time to make a good story, it can really end up a lot better then it was originally.
Why not Epic Donald like they had planned to do initially? There's concept art and a very very early build out there.
YES!!! IT IS POSSIBLE!!!!! I HAVE FULL FAITH!!!!
they should def make em3
Iirc little kid me had more fun with Epic Mickey 2 over the first one
I do agree the first one does have a better story but i love EM2 just because it was fun to me
Should’ve waited an extra week to make this lol great video tho man
i think all of my points still stand
If THQ Nordic & Purple Lamp studios are allowed to do another Epic Mickey project after Rebrushed does well. It will likely be a new game if the way that they have handled Spongebob games under that umbrella is to go by anything. I doubt they wanna remake a rough around-the-edges game like Epic Mickey 2 the same way that people were hoping that Purple Lamp was gonna remake more Spongebob games that weren’t as good as BFBB (Movie games included) and they just jumped the opportunity to make a new game instead, which was a smart move as Cosmic Shake is probably the 2nd best Spongebob or even the best one if you wanna get spicy
We need just wait em:r
Good Video!
I am with you on this. I think if they really want to and there are enough people, sure remake it or so, but I don't see this happen aswell. In my opinion, if they touch Epic Mickey2, they should preffer doing Bug fixes and giving Oswald a little better A.I. Would be enough for me, we got the second game on all consoles and it is nice to have. I liked the second one aswell, but the first still feels better for me.
Maybe they can start with an Epic Mickey 3 mor like Epic Oswald! So you can play only him and look what happened after Epic Mickey 2.. they could also go for Epic Donald since all I have heard about it was amazing!
But so or so.. we got Epic Mickey back and I am more than happy about it. I also hope more people see the game and want to try it out-
honestly, if they were able to convince Disney to let them remake epic mickey, I don't see why they wouldn't be able to convince them to let them do a full retake on epic mickey 2
I dont really think Epic Mickey 2 would be good for remake
Idea I have for epic mickey 3 while ik Pete's were the intended big bads for the 3rd game I think they can still have them be that just as a first boss but this time we face a new enemy a blotworks mickey this mickey was made by the mad doctor but during em2 but was never used so this mickey clone took parts from all mechanical boss fights and now it's cocktower plus mechanical dragon plus captain hook plus mad doctor mech all in one having Mickey and Oswald working together to face this new enemy that has the powers of both ink and thinner plus a artificial pure heart
going by what thq nordic did previously, epic mickey 3 will likley happen as there last remake spongebob battle for bikini bottom rehydrated they followed that with a sequel the cosmic shake & didn't remake the other game from the time the movie game
Im glad I'm not the only one that thinks Epic Mickey 2 shouldn't be remastered because it would be too complicated to develop because to remaster it basically repainting an unfinished product and to remake the game valid basically you have to make the whole game from scratch basically change the whole story for it to match the original idea the storyline so yeah I think if Epic Mickey rebrushed does well enough I think they should go to Epic Mickey 3
If they made epic mickey 3 felix the cat should be involved
They should just retcon EM2 and make a brand new sequel.
100%
As much as it’s better for em2 to not get a remake, people keep acting like the story is absolutely unsalvageable, sure it’s a bit boring, but I think it can actually help the story bye it just simply being filler, how I see em as a whole is that the first game is the events that happend and fixing it, em2 being that where they try to repair back there lives and go back to normal, and possibly the 3 game is trying to go to terms with what happend and healing from that, the Pete’s don’t even need to be the main bad guys, they could be just working for possibly the actual main villain, please warren don’t recon em2 :(
They might do scooby doo 100 frights instead
Battle for bikini bottom rehydrate got a sequel
Epic mickey the power of two rebrushed seems very likely
i don't care what anyone says, i played epic mickey 2 before the first game, in fact i have never played the first game (yet)
If they are ever going to make an Epic Mickey 2 rebrushed, PLEASE for the love of god, *DON'T*
That game is a failure to the original Epic Mickey to the point where it just doesn't deserve a remake.
Possible, yes! Probable, no. EM 2 was so weak and broken that you'd have to make a completely new game to make it nearly as good as the 1st one. The only good parts were the voice acting, and soundtrack; especially the music for the Walt's Apartment easter egg! TT_TT
Why not?
mmmmm epic mickey content delicous
Why change name?
Why the name change??
for the "branding" of the channel, FungusNitrogen as a name was just 2 random words put together and didn't have any theme or connection to the rest of the channel and my style
Pleasent Greatiant?
I don’t think the story for Epic Mickey 2 was bad. I think that using characters that already existed in the universe was a great was to expand on the world. Some of y’all think you’re too “mature” for this game and use the story as a scapegoat. I can understand being frustrated by the mechanics since that’s a pretty important part of a video game, but acting like a children’s game isn’t good because the villain is “predictable” like all the sudden y’all are some professional critics with exquisite taste?? But how many times has Bowser been the villain of a Mario game and y’all never say it’s predictable? And I’ve heard some of u guys try to say it would b better if they brought the blot back or something like that as if that’s not tacky or predictable at all 🤦♂️
I think had this game not been rushed in development they should’ve taken more time to explain the characters’ thoughts and motives. Like maybe explain why Oswald was so easy to trust the Mad Doc (my theory is he has daddy issues and was desperate for a fatherly figure). And they should’ve shown more of the Mad Doctor’s villain side to explain his mindset to the audience to show us how he was literally dying and instead of going out in peace he was willing to destroy everyone and everything. That would’ve added to the creepiness. But then again, this was a rushed children’s video game so they couldn’t go into too much depth about the characters. Which is why I think it (the franchise) would’ve made a better movie but that’s another conversation.
And for y’all that hate the game because it’s a musical I got news for u… u prob wouldn’t like 90% of what Disney does. I find this game very charming with all its quirks and I rlly think that most of its disdain comes from frustration that it’s not an exact rip of the first game
mid take, nobody has ever said that they’re too mature for Epic Mickey and anyone can say that the “twist” is weak and predictable, you don’t need to be a professional to criticize something
