Forums - Gaming - RUMOR: Warren Spector making Mickey Mouse game to compete with Mario

stof on 21 March 2008

Bold statement. I'd love it if it were true since the more platformers, the better.



I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do. 

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

OMG, I hope Mickey Mouse pwns Mario, that would be sooooo awesome. If a hedgehog can't do it, call in the ultimate mascot. Yes!!!! On PS3? lol j/k.

>- Warren Spector’s new Disney project is a platformer, and the goal is to give Mario a run for his money. The star of this big platformer would be none other than Mickey Mouse.

What money? Disneyland money? :P

Not a chance.

Hope it's good though. Platformers were at there best when Nintendo and Rare were together. Between them they easily hold the top 5 and maybe the top 10.

I'd be concerned about a sort of Reverse icon effect. Most people know Mickey Mouse as they're parents icon, not theirs. It'd be kind of like if the next Crash Bandicoot game actually recaptured the incredible gameplay of the original ones. It might be an awesome game, but it wouldn't sell as well because most people are aware that they kept making Crash games and those games suck now.

I admit I don't know too much about the Kingdom Hearts games, so I may be completely in the wrong here, But I can't help but think a Mickey Mouse game would have to overcome it's mascot, as opposed to cashign in on it.

If it's true then they have a good chance considering Warren Spector would be behind the game, he's brilliant.

I personally much rather to see a SSBB type game with all the disney characters.. as oppose to a platformer.

Snow White vs. Cinderlla - FIGHT! That'd be pretty crappy. They should put this on the Wii (although competing with a game on the same platform would seem kinda awkward. But come on, Mickey Mouse on HD systems?) and maybe it'll be a success (though not a Mario-killer).

Microsoft should moneyhat them to do it (not a SSBB clone obviously).  Even if the sales aren't even remotely close to Mario's it would still help to grow the appeal of the console to different audiences.

Mickey Mouse in HD is probably going to look like Rachet, which I have no problem about.
