Epic Mickey (Wii)

game informer coverage (is sparse right now)

..player interact with levels by painting directly onto them with the Wii Remote. "This 'painting your way' involves you drawing, etching and erasing whole or parts of levels as you go." We've also been told that it'll be based around very old and/or forgotten Disney characters who are out to get their revenge on Mickey," according to the site, "presumably because they're jealous of all his fame and fortune."

The above is from Joystiq a couple months ago when this was just a rumor and all they had was some sweet looking concept art.

I was going to make this thread but I never got around to it. I'm glad someone did.

It may not be Wii exclusive after all. Multiple sources are saying any mention of it being Wii only have been removed.

In case you were asleep earlier this week: Monday, we got a look at Warren Spector's "Epic Mickey" project - a darker take on the world of Disney - and yesterday we saw some concrete details emerge. Overall, the game's reception amongst gamers tended to fall somewhere between "Hella Cool" and "F'ing AWESOME" with the one caveat being the title's apparent exclusivity toward the Wii (apparently, gamers don't like the Wii at all or something). While all the previous information and rumors pegged the title as a Wii exclusive - as did yesterday's source "close to Disney" - information about the platform is curiously absent from the current landing page. Sharp-eyed Wired visitors pointed out that this was not always the case: "Update: Many commenters point out that the story, as originally published, did indeed say that the game was a Wii exclusive, although this has been scrubbed from the version currently online. You can't unring a bell, and you can't erase the Internet." As we learned yesterday, the Wii was chosen for its ability to mimic the painting techniques Mickey Mouse will be using in his adventure - but with Sony and Microsoft preparing their own motion-control equipment, it seems odd to exclude the other two consoles entirely. Of course, it's entirely possible that this will remain a Wii exclusive, and people are making much ado about nothing (as happens every now and then on the internet), but it's still intriguing to wonder. You have to imagine that the text was taken down for a reason, after all... no?

I wouldn't say I'm excited for the game but I'm curious.
