Warren Spector – lead designer on Wii exclusive Epic Mickey – has said that the advent of motion controls on PS3 and Xbox 360 means that there isn’t any technical reason why the game couldn’t make the jump at a later date. Speaking to Atomic Gamer, he had the following to say;
“Before Move and Kinect I probably would have said no, because the game is built around gesturing. Now, however, there’s no reason technologically why we couldn’t.
That decision is really above my pay grade, and no one’s asked me for a port. I’ve been a Nintendo fan a long time, and I’ve been pretty open about the fact that the Zelda games are some of my favourite of all time. So we’re a Wii exclusive and I’m happy about that.”
As it stands, Epic Mickey is looking like a real sleeper hit and I hope it does well when released on the Wii. To see it move over to the HD consoles with a bit of added shine would make my year. Anybody up for petitioning Sony and Microsoft to bug Disney for a port of the game? No? Just me then…
