Epic Mickey, the new Wii game being developed from Warren Spector’s (Deus Ex) Junction Point development studio and Disney Interactive Studios, looks great. Feast your eyes (do eyes feast?) on this piece of conceptual art!
Mickey looks like he's ready to kick some tail!
See that little rabbit at the top of the picture? Peering around the corner of the stalagmite? Guess who that is…go ahead…guess! Give up? Admit it, you didn’t even guess! You just kept reading. It’s OK. I forgive you. No, it’s not Roger Rabbit! It’s too late to guess now! That rabbit is none other than Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. Who, you ask? Well, he was Walt Disney’s first creation, and was quite popular in the ’20s and early ’30s. However, when ‘Steamboat Willie’ (the first cartoon featuring Mickey Mouse) was released, Mickey was catapulted to the top of the cartoon character canon, leaving Oswald in the dust. Poor Oswald has been ignored for too long, and he wants revenge! He, and the other forgotten characters (and Disney rides) have joined forces to bring chaos to the Magic Kingdom, and it is up to Mickey to fight the good fight and restore order. Along the way, he will be able to use different paints and erasers to battle against his foes (which you will be able to control with your Wiimote!)
GameInformer magazine and their new website has more information on this cool game. I am so excited about this game, I am a little embarrassed and ashamed. Don’t judge me! Just pity me…
