Looks like a very poor start in the UK

It wasn't advertised for starters and of those in the UK who actually give a toss about Mickey (not many) will have it on their Christmas list. It's not a big launch game for the UK.



They better hope it does better in NA.



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

Yeah I agree with EssosDeeos. This has xmas day written all over it.

I AM sad if it does poorly, I love Micky, but just wish this had a HD port and more platforming without the brush. I hope it does well though.



 

I wonder if the fact that Disneyland Paris has some influence in France will boost sales in that country?

As far as U.K. sales goes... somewhat disappointing. Hopefully they'll improve as time goes on.

HD port could still happen.

straight port for PS Move and a port for 360 with just joypad platforming, perfecto!

I'm not sure if it could happen for 360 because of the lack of a peripheral, but PS3 could be possible because of Move imo. however i'm not too keen on it anyway. 77 metacritic.....

Yeah, xmas and LEGS. Most people buy their games on a whim, seeing the box art. They see Disney, and Mickey. This will burn for months.

And I still don't get what satisfaction people find in Wii games failing at retail, especially original, great games like this. New IPs fail unless gory / flashy; everything else fails miserably. We need fresh gems like Epic Mickey, Demon's Souls, Valkyria Chronicles, Persona...

PS: I'm not speaking about anyone in this thread, I saw the site that posted the news, obviously 360-heavy, they only Wii news around were EM failing badly. Which is also ridiculous to claim this soon.
