The latest issue of Nintendo Power has an article about this game, and after reading it I am more hyped to get this game now. Looking forward to having some coolourful Mickey fun (if there is such a thing )

I want this but DKC returns gets my money first...this will most likely fall to Christmas with Force Unleashed 2.

Send me the best you've got. Send me your strongest machines. The fight my brother fought, here, now, will end with me.

Warren Spector sure seems very optimistic about this game. I sure hope it is as good as he says it is. He's been claiming all this stuff about the game like, the platforming can match Mario games, the story will make you cry and will be good as Pixar movies, and after this game Micky games will be as popular as Mario, Zelda, and Halo games. I hope he's right.

@ballkirby1 Woah! I never heard those quotes! I think saying those types of things are a little too optimistic, but I do believe it will be a really great game overall and will be one of the Wii's most successful 3rd party games (not that the bar for that is very high, lol).

Obviously there are a lot of gamers excited for this, but this is also something that could easily become popular with the casual crowd, especially during the Holidays, considering it stars Mickey Mouse.

Wow, great interview, Warren Spector is a genius, the game will be great! Im really very VERY hyped about the game, im sure it will be one of the best games of the year!

@NintyFan Woah, that was awesome!

There's ANOTHER article on IGN, that kind of goes into more detail about the story but doesn't really spoil anything. Spector said that "skilled players" will probably finish the game in about 15 hours (although he said his first playthrough took him 25). He also said, however, that you would probably need to play through the game 3 times to collect everything.

@SuperMarioFan96
Here's some quotes...

and the other one is too old to find at this moment, but after reading these quotes again Warren Spector is really full of himself and his game. He should really stop saying this just in case the game isn't good. Then he'd look like an idiot.

OK the game WILL be good, im almost sure of that, 2D platformer with 3D platformer with adventure, a great gameplay, a great history and mickey mouse, these game is gonna be AWESOME!

@ballkirby1 Well, while those quotes are (probably) a little extreme, I don't think he's necessarily "just saying that." Basically he's exagerating. Is he exagerating way too much? Probably. But, he really seems like he's going all out, IMO. The platforming may not be Mario-worthy, the story may not be Pixar-worthy, and it almost definetely won't reach the sales of, say, New Super Mario Bros. Wii. But I think it could have some very good platforming, with a very good story, and become one of the Wii's top selling 3rd party games.

I think that the level design in this game is brilliant and one of the things that's winning me over. Like the footage that NintyFan posted, or that 2D neon level based on "Plutopia." Also, whenever I watch this video, it just gets me insanely excited for Epic Mickey:

Some of the places in there, even if shown for a mere second, just look so amazing.

Yeah I believe the game is going to be great. It is also obvious that Spector is working very hard on the game. I just don't think he should be saying all this. I know he wants people to want this good-looking game, but he shouldn't be claiming that the game is awesome and saying all the things it will do before it is released, in case for some very strange reason the game doesn't follow through, no one will take anything he says seriously.

Yeah, it's never a good idea to hype up a game as much as he is, you want to hype it so that people want it, but don't do it to the extent that they could be easily dissappointed.

I think Spector is so hyped about these game that probably it will not disapoint us, don't you think?

Not sure why I feel a little funny to be playing a Mickey Mouse game at 25. I should be married and having kids now in my life.

I must say, I was not planning on buying this game. But after reading the wonderful Warren Spector interview that IGN just did I think I'm officially sold.

@SkullMan, what bad about Mickey Mouse? It is just a character, like bugs bunnny, mario, link and donkey kong.

Well... I told my wife the other day that I'm looking forward to all the awesome games coming out in the next few months, and she asked which games are coming out, in which I told her "Donkey Kong, Epic Mickey". Not more than 2 seconds passed and she goes "YOU'RE BUYING A MICKEY MOUSE GAME?", and then she burst into laughter. I really had nothing to say, except that it's supposed to be really good, but she just couldn't stop laughing and repeating that a grown man is buying a Mickey Mouse game. Damn her! lol
