Wii U launch update - Epic Mickey 2 Wii U may miss launch, Two Tribes working for launch day

First thing's first, let's hear from Warren Spector on why Epic Mickey 2 might not make Wii U launch.

"The reason why we're not committed to a date on the Wii U version is that no one has been through Nintendo's approval process on the Wii U. We have no idea how long it will take for the game to go through approval. Disney is not going to be the reason why it will miss [November 18]."

Spector says that the devs didn't get Wii U hardware until early 2012, which means they may not have gotten the amount of hands-on time that other third parties did. Still, I've seen an Epic Mickey 2 commercial multiple times tonight, which included the Wii U in its Nov. 18th release schedule. I'm sure Nintendo and Disney are going to work very closely together to make that launch date happen.

While we wait nervously for confirmation on that title, we can enjoy a little news from Two Tribes. The developer has reconfirmed that they're working hard to make launch day for the Wii U. Having Toki Tori 2 as a Wii U eShop launch title would surely be a big deal for Two Tribes. Keep those fingers crossed tightly, gang!
