First Concrete "Epic Mickey" Details Leaked Like Ink
- Thread starter John Funk
- Start date
So, let's see if I got all this: A forgotten foe (from all sorts of different stories) slops ink all over the planet (Mario Sunshine), giving our hero a face lift to fit the new hardware (Banjo Kazooie, Nuts & Bolts?) Our hero uses painting skills (Okami) to save the world?
The reference to Roger rabbit and how toons never die is apropos to a Disney game, as they did work on Roger Rabbit.
The fact that it seems to be coming from Europe might be the reason behind all the dark tone, and family-unfriendly-seemingness to the plot. If you've ever seen the short (uh...) "Runaway Brain", you've seen how dark a Mickey Mouse cartoon can be, but it's still very Disney.
Something tells me we won't see gameplay videos until long after Mickey's new face gets revealed.
Not that I'm not looking forward to this now... Damn... I like the idea behind it already

This is the only reason I'd consider getting a Wii.
DAMN YOU EXCLUSIVE CONTENT! DAMN YOU STRAIGHT TO HELL!

But the idea of being able to wield a brush Okami style would fit well in the Disney universe. I'm torn on this one. I think i'll wait for a bit more information before I get too excited.
I think they need to make a game based off of my Mickey.

That last sentence could have been very easily misinterpreted... trust me.
Also this looks like the most badass thing ever.
Good thing my friend has a Wii and never locks his doors.
This... is actually very interesting. The artwork, and the story makes me think of Fantasia a bit.

Sounds like Super Mario Sunshine, considering the most common hazard in this game appears to be black sludge.
Disney used to make dark pretty damn well back in the days. They'll hopefully go back to that style.QuirkyTambourine said:
How... does this... sound like a good idea?!... That shouldn't be possible!
A couple of people have said it reminds them of Super Mario Sunshine, and they're right, but it's so much more. But then, this isn't Pixar, it's Disney. They screw up even the best-sounding ideas.

I heard Disney and thought of the current sludge that is pumped out with that name sake attached to it, and was hesitant to read this article. I than thought that this is The Escapist and they don't do sludge, so I read on.
Glad that I did, since this sounds like one interesting game the delves into the history of Disney's old characters, and brings along some fun play mechanics. Hopefully all is done well for this game.

Disney; please do not fuck this up. You have hurt yourself in my eyes for many a year recently, I want you to do this well. I want you to do it right. Anything other than a perfectly compiled concept will not be acceptable. Anything other than an epic of history will not. Be. Acceptable.
We are anonymous. We are watching.

I have to say that the whole concept does tickle my creative insides.
But it's still on the Wii, so we'll see.

An expectedly amazing game with an original concept and it's a Wii Exclusive?
UAAAARGGHGH!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS OKAMIDEN ALL OVER AGAIN!!!

I don't think I've ever laughed so hard and been so depressed at the same time. You, sir, are good.Jon Etheridge said:This looks really neat.

That sounds like an old Tiny Toons Adventures/Animaniacs style plot to me. Disney rips off Warner Brothers again!
Slightly more serious, though, is this idea that Mickey Mouse, one of the dullest cartoon characters of them all (which, ironically, explains his longevity. Bland=Relateable),doesn't frequently recieve as many makeovers as Barbie to try (and usually fail) to add spice to the mouse is funnier than anything he's ever starred in.
Still, I could go for another Castle of Illusion. Thinking of which, if Donald Duck is playable (or Minnie,even), I'd be all for it.
