Still I doubt they will do the concept steampunk art justice, not like the power of a PS3, 360 and PC could, I'm not usually a graphics "whore" but in this regard I think it would have been far better to have put this on a stronger machine, just because that artwork deserves the best treatment....oh and solid controls which I don't think the Wii can offer.
Details for Epic Mickey
Epic Mickey, epic details: Possibly not Wii exclusive?
http://www.destructoid.com/epic-mickey-epic-details-possibly-not-wii-exclusive--151187.phtml
It's time to get some Epic Mickey all up in your business, with a smattering of new details concerning Warren Spector's highly anticipated Disney extravaganza. With the latest Game Informer soon to spill the beans on Mickey's dark Wii outing, fresh intel has invariably been sniffed out, so strap yourselves in and get ready for the data blast.Here is all the fresh news on Epic Mickey:
* The game's plot revolves around "forgotten" Disney characters. Obscure characters from long-forgotten cartoons and rides have been cast into a dark world of broken-down machinery and very bitter attitudes.
* The main villain is Disney's first-ever cartoon hero, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. Now a nobody, he has rallied the residents of the dark world and is out for revenge against the mouse that took his place as Disney's spokesman.
* Oswald unleashes the Phantom Blot, a monster that invades the Disney universe and begins to disassemble it by using black ink and making the colors of the world run together (this explains the "melting" imagery used in concept art). It's all very meta, this.
* Mickey Mouse will save the Disney world by fixing the Blot's undoings, using a set of tools like paintbrushes, paint thinner, erasers and pencils to restore the artwork of his universe.
* The tools are mapped to various Wiimote gestures.
* The game is all about artwork and exploring. Also, Mickey will be getting a radical makeover, which is why nobody's seen his face yet. A source tells Eurogamer that "he's far more retro than you've seen him for years."
* There are also rumors surfacing that Epic Mickey will not be exclusive to the Wii, based on Game Informer removing the Wii exclusivity claim from its teaser page. Might mean nothing, but we'll have to see.So ... how frigging hot does that lot sound? Very hot, I will imagine. I love it when cartoon companies scour their libraries for obscure and forgotten characters, so it's going to be great to see what surprises pop up in Epic Mickey. I think this is going to be something that old-school Disney fans will find absolutely brilliant. Cannot wait to see the new look for Mickey, too.
What do you think? Exciting or what?
the wiki page for Oswald has a different version of who's the baddie
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oswald_the_Rabbit
n the upcoming Epic Mickey video game, Oswald acts as the former ruler of a world of forgotten Disney characters created by Yen Sid. When Mickey accidentally messed up that world on a brief visit, the paint and thinner unleashed the Phantom Blot upon the world, who ravaged it and forced Oswald out. Angry at this as well as all the fame and glory Mickey had received over the years, he distrusts Mickey when he comes to try righting the wrong he made years ago, even consulting with Peg Leg Pete on how to handle him.

leaked "actual gameplay" pics from Gameinformer:

there are more scans on the link, The page is in Spanish
somehow the artwork seemed much "epic" than this 😬
still, graphics make only half the game, and these are only screen grabs
Hmm, that's kind of disappointing for me. I was actually hoping this would be an amazing horror game. Perhaps even actually based around the suicide of Mickey Mouse. Somehow he had to come back and fix everything because Pete took over and ended up turning everything into some freaky robozombies with some evil magic. I even saw that melted wizard looking image and kind of thought that's what was happening.
For some reason I find a Disney horror game incredibly appealing.

what it is about is right above the pics (what I posted before it). it's never been about suicide, it's about revenge...
Creepy is what we wanted, and is not what were getting... it seems.
it's much too earlier to say for certain though. I'll give sometime.
I must admit those screens are not what I was looking forward to see, though 😬
they look great nonetheless... like a watercolor painting, It's beautiful looking

I prefer the idea of Oswald and Phantom blot being the villains of the game rather then Pete being the villain YET AGAIN!
but the suicide and steam punk part would have been great, truly a waste if that link is going to be the final product....what a shame.

not what I expected, but it's much too early to dismiss it. I'll give it the benefit of the doubt 😉
Definitely a Wii exclusive.

I really hope this debut slideshow for Epic Mickey that just showed up is a huge elaborate joke; http://www.gametrailers.com/video/debut-slideshow-epic-mickey/58278
It looks as far away from the concept art as possible.
