"Epic Mickey" May Not be Wii Exclusive After All

[ProjectileVomit]

Nice, now Epic Mickey can be developed to it's full potential (hopefully) and not be constrained by technological limitations and gimicky controls for Wii. I'm by no means flaming Wii. Epic Mickey going multi-platform just provides an excellent opportunity to appeal to a wide array of players.

Well, it's not like Metal Gear or Final Fantasy with an established, ongoing association and loyalty to one console.......

Yeah I noticed how Final Fantasy is only on the NES/SNES/PSX/PS2/GAMECUBE/WII/GBA/DS. Damn them for only putting their stuff on sonintendoy.

As for MGS...less extreme but still BOTH sony and nintendo. I believe we have NES/PSX/PS2/GAMECUBE/PS3 for MGS.

Punches you in the throat hard* DAMN IT! MSX! IT STARTED ON THE GOD DAMN MSX! THE NES PORT DIDN'T EVEN HAVE A METAL GEAR!!!

Doesn't matter if it didn't have a metal gear in it, the game was called metal gear.

Likewise I said "I believe". Which doesn't change the fact that Marq was wildly off .

I hope it does remain on the Wii...

(apparently, gamers don't like the Wii at all or something).

Oh, this doesn't surprise me. It's not that people who play games as a whole demographic dislike the Wii - it sells like mad. But the old guard, the kind of people who actually read the articles on this website rather than watch Zero Punctuation once a week and nothing else, these people -do- scorn the Wii.

Just some more evidence that the population of The Escapist is in no way representative of the gaming public at large. The more you know.


Also, I'm much more interested in Epic Mickey if I can actually play it without spending $400AUD for a new machine. Thanks for the heads up.

C'mooooon PC version *crosses fingers*

I thought this game looked pretty good and was willing to go back and borrow my little brother's Wii to play it on and now this news comes out. This has made for a very good morning.

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo why not keep it on the wii it needs exclusives that are not mini games and are not made by nintendo. nintendo has always been there for Disney kingdom hearts for ds and gba for example, or chip and dale rescue rangers.

You mean Kingdom Hearts that started life on the Sony ps2?
Anyway I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a PC version.

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.

Guess what.
The PC has a mouse.
A MOUSE! Come on, Disney!
