Disney's Epic Mickey Might Have Life On The PS3 And 360
See Full ImageInitially, Disney's Epic Mickey was supposed to be in development for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC. But it didn't take long before Warren Spector and Junction Point Studios decided to shift their first title exclusively to the Wii.
This didn't go over too well with those who either don't own a Wii or have no intention of owning one, but it seems that with the impending motion sensing technologies for both the PS3 and 360, there might still be hope. This from Disney's Graham Hopper in speaking to Gamasutra; Hopper said the game's core concepts are rooted in its "ink and paint mechanic," which is why it fits well with the Wii. But we've got the PS3 motion controller and Natal for the 360 on the horizon, so the situation has changed. "If we started it 6 months ago we would have potentially thought differently about it," he said. Now, it's no surprise to learn that Disney has a very large audience amongst Wii owners, but at the same time, we have to assume a game like Epic Mickey would do very well on the PS3 and 360. And we don't necessarily have to rely on motion sensing, do we? I suppose it'll have to remain in the game, but perhaps they could simply implement some traditional controls...and couldn't they make it a lot prettier, too? Of course they could.
We'll let you know if Disney ever decides to pursue any other platform besides the Wii for this game. In the meantime, guess we'll just have to be satisfied with the likes of Heavy Rain and God of War III. ...oh darn.

You might be right but I'll play the waiting game to see where they take this.

Now, since you bring up kids, they DO stand to make a lot of money due to the fact it is on the Wii.

However, waiting in line for 45 minutes for a hotdog at his joint was a pain in the ass.

If the picture is any indication, this will be the best video game of all time. ALL TIME!
So with that in mind, the game will probably pretty much suck. Something like getting home a really hot chick with huge cans, only to unwrap the package, and find out she stuffed her bra. A "D" can fall to an "A" really fast.

If I could kill Mickey in Kingdom Hearts I would actually play all the way through it.

should of known that was to good to be true, no one is psychotic enough to make a game of that.
if 6 days in falujah gets that much flack and controversy, imagine what would happen to this.
plus its not exactly a soccer mum type of game either, the thing ninty always goes for.

Just popped Fantasia in again a few days ago & it's still timeless. Now, as for any psychedelics, I've always pleaded the 5th.

ITS A DISASTER! 360 fan boys everywhere are rocking back and forth, shaking their heads and muttering no no no no no no no no no. All they can come up with so far is "why cant they just do multiple discs like ff13?"
delightful

If so that's great, about time they didn't gimp up the PS3's copy, due to the other machine's lesser disc-abilities.
I say, let each machine handle as much as it can. We already know where all the chips will fall.
BTW, can you give us the link to that story??

Not that I think Mickey will (although it might), I think we'll see a flood of Wii ports coming our way. I'm sure developers will start pushing some of their garbage Wii games our way.
Thanks a lot Nintendo Wii. Worst Console ever.

I can stroll down any video game aisle in any store, and be bombarded with "shovelware" on the PS3 and XBOX360. "Shovelware" is not a console exclusive. There is a higher percentage of bad games on the Wii, but not by a huge margin, and if you concider how many more Wii units are out there, percentage wise, logically they would have more games that don't cut the mustard. Great games CAN be made for the Wii as evidenced by Nintendo created games. Do not blame a console for shovelware, blame developers and consumers who buy that crap.
