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

Mr Khan on 23 October 2009

Epic Win. I mean, you don't bring Warren Spector on board to produce a flop (though his games aren't that* well known), but they're definitely going to be putting their publishing weight behind. This game's got budget, so it'll get advertising, and it's natural charms will thus be well seen by the populous.

 

*(he's only really well known in the PC gaming sphere so far, so his fame is somewhat mitigated in his venture not only on a console, but on a Nintendo console, who's base has the least overlap with the PC base)

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.

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.

 

 

NO. im just justifying the Wii for what it really is. And Epic Mickey cant do Wii justice if they cater the game to the core. Kingdom hearts even with long texts, menus and everything was kiddy in content and story. Its just SE f*ked up the storyline since the GBA game that the game becomes fanboys/fangirls haven than a mainstram title like Mario. And to tell you the truth thats what SE wants. Now fanboys/fangirls since most fo these fans are willing to pay every game in the system thats been out even in cellphones. I dont want that to happen in a Wii game. Its better for a core game to be niche like Muramasa than a mainstram title to become a fanboys/fangirls have. *cough* SSBB *cough8



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

Terms like 'casuals', 'kiddy', 'fanboy' and 'core gamer' don't justify anything.  They are antiquated terms only used now adays either to stir up controversy or as buzz words to try to make people pay attention to your posts online.

KH has a kiddy story?

What?

 

IT IS... Not only it is kiddy its cliche. When do you expect that Kairi was one of the princesses and Riku will betray Sora and becomes the force of evil and became a good guy afterwards? Not kiddify and cliche alright...

Says the person who didnt own a single game that made by Disney since CAPCOM dont make Disney games anymore. Well maybe you play Disney games but only few. Just admit it, you're all hyped this game because IT CATERS TO YOU. If its a 2-d platformer you will ignored this like it didnt exist. So how does it feel that the in game screens arent exactly as it did in the artwork? I k ow you will try to deny it but there are massive meltdowns after it. INCLUDING YOU...

 

And it will be a big meltdown if( I HOPE) the audience impresses the children more than the core gamer like you.

First off, I can't understand a lot of what you say.  But I can tell you're rather enraged about something.  But you're claims are unfounded.  I haven't owned a Disney game since Capcom made them?  I own a bunch of Disney based games, on the NES (Duck Tales 2, Chip and Dale, Darkwing Duck, Tale Spin, etc), SNES (Aladdin, The Magical Quest) and the original Kingdom Hearts.  And you don't know my views on this game at all.  This thread and the other Epic Mickey thread has plenty of examples of people who are excited for this game, especially after the first screens and developer interview came out.  And I'm one of them.

I haven't seen so many examples of forum baiting in a while.

But this is you in the collective. There are many people that banned and many posts were deleted in that thread. And many meltdowns after the in game isnt exactly in the artwork. The title changed alot too. Yeah I did say you played " a few games" but what games are you really playing that made by Disney? To cater to you of course. Even we knew that Disney are for family and kids, now you're telling me that a Disney game that made for the Wii another family entertainment medium was hyped in a core gaming site?

 

 

I can see it, you and other people that hyped this game will shun this more than the conduit because the content didnt catered to you and other core gamers here. look at the artwork again... THATS WHAT YOU WANT IN EPIC MICKEY. Sorry but if the developers wants money they can just give the artwork as a bonus and scrapped that design and make the game look more kid friendly.

How can anyone judge a game that has not been release yet?We will have to wait and then evalute if the game deserves to be call a success or a failure.

I love how you are putting words into my mouth and so paranoid of 'casuals' and 'core gamers' that you think anyone who even shows interest in a certain game, a game using DISNEY characters no less, is automatically on one 'side' of your massive internet debate.

All of this despite the fact that I was one of the biggest people who was hesitent of Epic Mickey BEFORE there was actual footage of game content, for which I got flak from the people who were hyping the concept art.  You really need to stop accusing people of being something unless you know 100% that's their position.  Otherwise you're no better than some guy pointing fingers and screaming 'You're a commie!'

BTW, this is exactly what I meant when I said this thread was a bad idea.
