‘Epic Mickey’ is Happening, is Epic
A while back you may have seen this rather odd concept artwork floating around the internet. The best way it could be described was “dystopian, steampunk Disney” and it looked decidedly twisted and awesome. Well, as it turns out, it’s for a real video game titled “Epic Mickey,” as you can see from this month’s cover of Game Informer, and holy shit it looks awesome.
The problem? For whatever reason, it’s only for the Wii, which makes me sad inside because most Wii owners wouldn’t know a dark and atmospheric game if it slapped them in the face with a cricket bat. More details about the title are scarce until the GI issue actually comes out, but I would predict some sort of action platformer marred by useless motion controls.

I think that looks awesome, but when I read Wii only my heart sank a little bit. I have one and will probably play it but it do so much better on the 360 or PS3.

Shoulda been called “Steampunk Mickey”, a takeoff of “Steamboat Willie”, where Mickey Mouse first appeared.

The game has some sort of control or playign style similar to Okami. But maybe it’s only on Wii to try increase the sale of the damn thing, I bought one and now regret it.
I really hate when people say “they wont evn kow how good it is even it hits you in the face” Id smack you for that the people apprently that you meet are real idiots i have the wii and i plenty of awesome games you just dont know the games but i do agree the game does look good im just worried on HOW you play and WHAT you do. if you battle and all that what do you have but I may pre order this because it looks epic like it says for teh title and mickey probably is going to get a good name now.
