Details On The "Epic Mickey" Game

Normally, we wouldn't pick at the edges of such a translucent title, but this one's super-interesting, so we're picking: CVG say they have some details on Warren Spector's Disney game.

According to their sources, the game is indeed a Wii exclusive, and you will "paint your way through levels using the Wii Remote", doing things like drawing and erasing "whole parts of levels".

It'll be based around a story where Disney's lesser, forgotten characters rise up against Mickey, which would explain the emphasis on hot military action seen in the game's concept art.

Bear in mind we've yet to receive any kind of word on this game from Disney, so you may want to take it with a pinch of salt. Well, this info, at any rate; we're pretty sure the art is for real.

Sounds like a pretty interesting concept. I wonder, are all characters going up against Mickey or are just characters we haven't seen in forever going to do so?

Looks interesting...

I so hope this is true.

Seen this already. Looks pretty awesome.

...Did I see a robot goofy? I think I did. Why are they robots? Still, this looks really awesome. I pray to God it's real.

[Kvitne]

It's a Steampunk game, so there are bound to be robots...

Oh, whoops. The article that I quoted didn't include that little tidbit.

[Mr. Retro]

Now that is cool... Although a Cyberpunk Mickey would be great. Or even Postcyberpunk. Hell, Biopunk would be cool.

[Green]

Is it just me or does it seem like this isn't something Disney would do?

EDIT:
Also, saw this on the webpage you linked. Looks very interesting, although I only played the original long enough to give up.

I was thinking the same thing about this not being something that Disney would do, but then again, if you think about the Kingdom Hearts franchise...

Disney has always been a relatively dark company, especially when it comes to their villains. I wouldn't put this project past them.

[Vendetta]

I've read about this, personally I seriously hope it comes through.
I have doubts that Disney will go for it, but Kvitne's right, no one thought Kingdom Hearts would become so popular either. So, who knows.

Really though, I'd nut myself over a Steampunk Disney game.

It's wii exclusive... last i heard. Looks to be pretty darn neat though

[Master of AFTER]

Actually, Game Informer recently announced that the game isn't locked in as a Wii exclusive, so it could theoretically come out on other platforms. And yes, the game does look very interesting to say the least... Based on the concept artwork, anyway.

Well, apparently the people who update the news feeds on The Magic Box are a bunch of goddamned soulless lying sacks of fucking putrid horse shit.

game informer's online feature with some test animations and lots of behind the scenes information.

The game looks to be good fun, just watch out for Oswald the lucky rabbit, or the phantom blot.
