Forums - Nintendo - Epic Mickey: Epic Win or Epic Fail? (semi-spoiler material ahead)

The team behind Disney Interactive Studios are really doing the things excellent. I have no doub't Epic Mikey will be an epic succes. Its a game that many of us was expecting.



MY ZELDA COLLECTION
Around the Network

Epci win, 2.5 million



many core gamers here will be disappointed here right now unless the game makers wants this to be kiddified theres no hope. This game will suffer the core gamer's hype curse as the rest of the games hyped by the core.



end of core gaming days prediction:

 

E3 2006-The beginning of the end. Wii introduced

 

E3 2008- Armageddon. Wii motion plus introduced. Wii Music. Reggie says Animal crossing was a core game. Massive disappointment. many Wii core gamers selling their Wii.

 

E3 2010- Tape runs out

Well one of my favorite game directors + Disney sentiment. I'm so totally in for this game. I loved Wing Commander and Dues Ex was great. This game will be good, as for comercial success. Well if Disney is truly behind this game then it will succeed big time. Disney knows how to market it's stuff. When they want too.



Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.

I am glad this game is making Mickey mischievous, much like he was in the early years. I am also really happy to see Oswald in there. I have this really big Oswald picture in my house and I would always look at it and wonder why they don't ever bring him back.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)

The way that the game lets you be good or evil mickey and the way that moive history is incorporated is bound to get the mainstream talking about it.



I LOVE ICELAND!

Epic win.

This game has a powerful IP, excellent talent working on it, and the financial backing it needs.

i think it'll get semi secent reviews. 75/85% on gamerankings purely because of the disney factor. like you stated, moving into the domain of lost or unheard of Disney will give it an edge with disney fans, of which deep down most of us are.

sales...... so so. 500k maybe 1m tops.

my advice????

Damn yushire, I never remembered you as a much of a troll? *sighs* Anyway, this game should sell because of "Mickey" alone. I definately don't see how you can "kiddify" a Disney franchise.

Quite the opposite, it seems the main director of this game is trying to 'unkiddify' the image of both Mickey and Disney as a whole.
