This almost makes me want to get a console.

Ah, who am I kidding? I'll just force one of my friends to buy it :p

Excuse me for a few seconds...I just really need to get this off my chest:

ARAGHS;LKGAD;SH#@DSBJL$D#@V!@T^

...You may think this is because I hate the very existence of this game. This is untrue. I very much love the existence of this game, am thrilled at the possibility of a great Wii game, let alone something that stars Darker and Edgier Mickey seemingly done right.

What throws me into caps-lock symbol-inducing rage is all the whiny little bitches complaining about how the game is destined to fail because it's not on a superpowerful HD system and how the Wii is only for stupid soccer moms and little kids and no one should ever develop a game for it ever again and GRARGH.

This total frickin' catch-22 the Wii has been in has really been infuriating me. Everyone bemoans the lack of good interesting original games, and when one does come along these same people go "WUP, too little too late!"

...Anyway, really sorry about that. This post brought to you by this post on Kotaku talking about how the game used to be in consideration for PC, PS 3, and 360 and a Wii downport, until Warren Spector said he didn't want to do a crappy Wii downport like every other publisher in existence.

There is something tremendously ironic about people who can accept Mickey Mouse as an anti-heroic badass who uses a paintbrush as a weapon in a cartoon world where baby rabbits eat monsters, but can't wrap their minds around the idea that the Wii might be an appropriate platform for such a game.

Kotaku seems to attract all the dumbasses. I'm pretty sure it phrases its articles in the manner most likely to elicit a response...

I doubt that the appearance of the game would change that much with an HD console anyway.

I kinda think reading comments sections on most gaming blogs is pretty much asking for it, though.

So instead of making a crappy Wii downport, he's going to make a crappy Wii-exclusive game. Yay?

Not to bash the Wii, but I just don't see the logic in that. How will nixing the PS 3 and 360 ports make the Wii version any better?

@Inkblot: Now that Epic Mickey is exclusively a Wii game, Spector and his team can concentrate entirely on what the Wii can do, rather than what the Wii can't do. They can avoid the downgrading process that occurs in every PS 360 to Wii port.

It's a sensible position considering how the gameplay's been described. This is kind of sounding like the mechanics of Okami if they had been developed ground up for the Wii mote instead of Dual Shock.

Not to mention it stands to reason their target audience is mostly on the Wii already anyway. It's not the same thing as, say, Rock Band or Guitar Hero, where the manual input is set in stone.

See you in the discussion pages.

Can't wait for it. As a Wii owner and a PS 3 Owner too, I'm happy whoever gets it. cool

Also, the Wii's great. Deadly Creatures was phenomenal.

I just hope the actual in-game stuff matches the concept art. I was a tad disappointed by the first screens.

Then again, they were only showing the first level, so that's understandable.

I hope I get a Wii for Christmas.

Have we mentioned the haunted mansion level yet?

If not I'd like to say this:

THE HAUNTED FREAKING MANSION?!

Christ, that ride's scary enough on it's own! God only knows what sort of hellish mindfuckery Warren Spector will do to it!

Halfway through the level, the game will break and you will sit there for 45 minutes waiting for the game to start again until a person comes through and releases you from your seat and you have to walk the rest of the way out.

Oh wait, that is the real life haunted mansion... I have never gone through that ride without it breaking on me.

Ah! I see that many here love this game....

Good. I myself am hyped. Here's to a wish for gameplay videos soon. I do believe we should've gotten one when GI had done their month of updates over it.

Still... Can't wait to see the later levels of the game looking more and more like the concept art. It is.... quite simply.... Delicious.

I think this game, and all relevant developments makes Warren Spector my hero, if he wasn't already. Loved all his other games.
