Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Epic Mickey 2.5M LTD?

It won't sell 2.5 million. They can make the box plastic black, advertise the crap out of it, it doesn't really matter though.

Obviously that initial reveal didnt tell us much about the game. As far as I can tell, its a 3d adventure platformer with paintbrush mechanics for world manipulation, and some decisions made by the player have an unknown effect on the story. Of course thats not going to be completely representative of the final product, Im just struggling to think of a way this game could turn out that would push 2.5 million copies. I cant see this doing well in Japan at all.

Even with Mickey Mouse's Mario rivaling popularity?

It's Mickey , being pushed by Disney, on a Nintendo console that has sold 66 million..

If the game doesn't make it to 4 million, I will be surprised.



I personally think a bunch of casual gamers will pick it up just because Disney and Mickey has always been seen as family friendly.

Still game has no correlation to KH which is a JRPG. This won't appeal to that crowd.

Frankly, at this point I have no idea who they are making this game for. Mickey alone will seem to kiddie for teens/adults and the game looks to dark for kids. Pre-teen boys might gobble it up but thats a small market all in all, especially on Wii.

I won't make any predictions until I know more about the game but from what I do know, I'd said this game will struggle to find an audience.

 

Kingdom Hearts is an action-rpg that just so happened to be made by a Japanese developer. Please do not further complicate things by throwing around such preconceived misconceptions.

If they want it to move, they better start letting people know about it. I hadn't even heard of it up until a couple of weeks ago and I spend a few hours every day browsing game related news.

Eh, the game is a long way off, there's no rush. NSMB Wii wasn't even revealed until 5 months before release date.

As for 2.5mil, no problem. Not only is Disney backing the game, this is Mickey Mouse we're talking about here, by Warren Spector! Obviously we'd need more info on the game to know for sure, but at the very least we know it'll be a quality game based around a well-known IP. It's a perfect fit on the Wii!

Mickey Mouse + Warren Spector only matter for mature people.

Classic disney characters position is much weaker those days than 10 or 20 years ago.

If they stay true to what they promised in initial sketches it will strugle to sell 1M.

It depends how much will it satisfy our hype on it. I mean, the first artworks led us to believe in an epic game (duh...) with incredible graphics and environment, but when the first shots went out, I was a little bit unconfident about it. Let's see if the story and gameplay convice players. At least it has Oswald (and I KNEW he would be the villain, ha!).

Like someone else mentioned, if a no-name game by a no name developer (De Blob) can sell over 700'000 then the absolute minimum you can imagine this game selling is 1 million copies.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say the game will sell 3 million copies in one year from it's release.



hmm KH2 sold nearly 4m so 2.5m seems possible.
The game could flop though no offence.
