Epic Mickey 2 on PS3 supports Move, but no Kinect on Xbox

The first Epic Mickey made extensive use of the Wii Remote's pointer, to control the direction of Mickey's paint and thinner. The PS3 version of Epic Mickey 2 will use the PlayStation Move accessory to replicate that experience, though I was unable to see this functionality in my hands-on demo this week.

The Move support is optional, however -- you're free to control Mickey's paintbrush with the right analog stick of the DualShock 3 as well. The regular controller even retains a bit of motion control, allowing you to shake the DualShock to do a spin attack.

Junction Point reps told me that Kinect support wouldn't be part of the Xbox 360 version, so don't expect to wave a real paintbrush around.

Looking forward to this game. I enjoyed the first one on the Wii.

Even if it HAD Kinect support, I wouldn't expect to wave a real paintbrush around. Has ANY Kinect implementation so far used tangible items? It's always been just your body, right?

I feel like MS may have even told people NOT to use tangible items with Kinect, because they don't want to remind people of Move.
