Forums - Gaming - Epic Mickey was ORIGINALLY a 360/PS3/PC Title! (Why did it move to Wii?)!

i was thinking the exact same thing soriku

Well, we started this off on ps360wii, and then we were like, "Who cares about the fanbase. Games won't sell on the wii unless they are exclusive" then my boss was like, "great idea, we don't need sales on the ps3 or the 360 becauase they don't even have half the install base of the wii"

and then I was like, "guess i'm buying a wii now"



Around the Network

epic mickey will be renamed:

Kingdom Mickey. and will be confirmed as a spinoff of Kingdom Hearts 3 which will be available on ps3 and 360.

put this in your signatures folks.




So the dev is a wii fan, and he wanted it to be on wii

Heck, I am so glad this game can follow the footstep of Deadly Creature. A game that sold..... wait.. let me go check the sales number.


Let's get this straight. Third Party new IP doesn't sell, how many good games will it take for developer to drop this "It HAS to be exclusive for Wii to sell" garbage?



On the brighter note, I just got my Wii and several FIRST PARTY games

Mickey Mouse is a new IP?

Who would have guessed that...



Thank goodness a Third Party developer finally recognized his game would probably do better on the Wii and actually focused on the Wii for a change.

Well, he is a PC guy. It seems like many of them "like" the Wii (Warren Spector, Will Wright, Valve, Carmack).

Also, he just wanted to focus development on a single platform, and for this game the Wii is the best choice.

Mickey Mouse is well known. "Epic Mickey" isn't.

 

I personally think Disney would have a much better sale if they call it "Mickey mouse Party, Wii"

 

Keep it cartoony, Keep it casual, it will sell, if not, See it under 500K LT

wait... some people already suggested it.



Soriku (Feb 10/08): In 5 years the PS3/360 will be dead.

When are they gonna give it a proper name? I'm kind of tired of calling it "Epic Mickey". I don't think a game has ever carried a codename for so long.

You obviously haven't looked very far into what this game is doing.

That's okay.  Nearly everyone else who is calling that game stupid hasn't either.  They're just judging it by its concept art or initial screens just like you.  And judging by your 'casual and cartoony' comments, I'd assume you prefer games of the 'HD' variety.

What? Is there a game series or movie or anything that is called "Mickey Mouse 1," "Mickey Mouse 2," or "Mickey Mouse 3,"? Of course not. They're all independent. Mickey Mouse Club House, Kingdom Hearts? Yeah.

lol if you think this game will sell under 500k LTD. You'll be severely disappointed.

Want do you think it will sell? Wanna wage a bet then?

1 million over/under, if you lose, you wear a sig from me for a month. ;)
