First details on Epic Mickey revealed

Posted 7th of October, 2009 at 03:18 pm by Infernal Monkey Infernal Monkey is online now


EuroGamer has managed to get a hold of the world first details on Disney's upcoming Wii-exclusive Epic Mickey.

The game explores the existence of a forgotten world, a place where lesser-known Disney characters are relegated to. A dark and depressing land filled with broken rides and set pieces, these unloved characters have become bitter and twisted. Lead by Oswald the Rabbit (Disney's first ever creation - long before Mickey Mouse), they now seek revenge for what they've become.

Oswald summons The Phantom Blot in an attempt to kill off Mickey Mouse and ruin the 'popular' Disney universe. Players take control of Mickey to try and save the day. Armed with a number of artist tools including paintbrushes, thinner, erasers and pencils, Mickey will have to fix the damage done and use these tools to solve puzzles throughout the adventure.

Broken bridge? Repair it by drawing in the missing parts. Need to spy on someone in the next room? Apply thinner to the wall and look on through. Mickey can even erase parts of the environment to clear a path. EuroGamer's source also claims Mickey will be getting his first makeover in years. "That's why no one's seen his face yet," he explained. The Phantom Blot also appears to have received a bit of a makeover, as shown on GoNintendo...

From the sounds of it it sounds like an adventure game sort of like Zelda or Okami. What I mean is that it'll probably have a 3rd person perspective and Mickey will have an arsenal of weapons and tools and other stuff at his disposal. It sounds like there are puzzling elements in the game i.e the part about using thinner to see through a wall. I reckon it'll have like dungeon type areas with bosses at the end. If they execute this right then it'll be pretty sweet. Anyway this is just my understanding. It could be an RPG. They made a Wizard of OZ RPG on DS... 0.o

Sounds like a bit if a gamble to me. But I think it should work, it looks totally badass. By the looks of it, it's not intended for- or mainly for children, so it should be awesome.

Maybe that's the concept art for after Mickey has used the thinner on it during the boss fight?

I'm liking how this one is sounding.

It does sound like a bit of a hit or miss thing, but it looks so awesome so far, so I hope it's the the former.

Well there wouldn't be a game if they became super happy and offered Mickey tea and biscuits, now would there?

Wow, this looks freaking amazing. The art is incredible.

The only thing I find a tad disconcerting is that they're going to re-vamp Mickey. I mean, I know it's probably time for a re-vamp, especially considering the drastically different art style, but I'm both intrigued and yet fearful of how they'll manipulate and possibly mangle the poor mouse's face, haha.
