Epic Mickey Coming Soon!

[WDWfanatic742]

With Gamescon being this week, Epic Mickey was showed off a little more. Head to one of the many gaming sites and they'll probably have video or previews of the game. To me it's looking really good. One site had video of one of the many levels with an area themed to Fantasyland with "it's a small world", "Mad Tea Party" and other different rides in it.

Hopefully they'll give a solid date for release as right now it's still "Holiday 2010"...

DH just mentioned that he can't wait for this game! I have never seen him so exciteed about a video game.

The latest release date has been stated as Nov.1 in the US.. but I also see Nov.30 for Canada.

So.. it will likely be Nov some time. Keep in mind all dates are subject to change.

Though, I'm pretty certain they'll want it out for Christmas.

I have it pre ordered via Amazon.com! I'm very excited about this game!

They announced a Collector's Edition today (Of course ) for $69.99.

Still however no "Official" Release Date. It includes:

• Special packaging
• Disney Epic Mickey Game
• Exclusive 5 inch Collectible Vinyl Epic Mickey Figure
• Special Edition DVD with behind the scenes footage and additional marketing assets and videos
• Epic Mickey Stylized Wii Remote Faceplate
• 2 Epic Mickey Stylized Wii Console skins

I'm not so sure about it myself...

You're not so sure about the game itself, or the "collector's edition".

I'd never spend extra for a collector's edition of ANYTHING (I don't fall for it on DVDs either), but this game looks really amazing.

The release date is confirmed for Nov. 1.

Not so sure about the Collector's Edition, the game looks to be awesome though.

Official release date has been confirmed for November 26th in the U.K. and November 30th in North America...

[WDWfanatic742]

With Playstation Move coming out a couple days ago, maybe just maybe we can get a port over to the Playstation 3 in the future. Would be cool to play this in HD, November 30th can't come soon enough

[BrerGnat]

I hope they stop changing the release date.

DH told me today he WANTS the collector's edition. He likes the Wii skin that comes with it. I guess we're getting the collector's edition.

[Patricia]

This Collectors Edition is just annoying me... $20 more dollars for the swag. Of course I'll have to spend that, as I'm told that I should always get anything special when it's available.. sigh.

DH actually wants collectors editions of THREE Wii games...

The Epic Mickey one surprised me though...he's usually not that "into" Disney/Mickey decorations. I'm surprised he wants to use the skin, actually.

[WDWfanatic742]

Amazon is selling the Collector's Edition for $64.99, $5 off the normal price. Then release date shipping is only 99 cents, putting total price at $65.98.

Amazon is selling the Standard Edition for $49.99, with a $10 credit off your next video game purchase at Amazon. Then release date shipping is only 99 cents, putting total price at $40.98.

I already have 20 bucks from Black Ops, so may get the Collector's Edition now...

[Mogie]

I really hope they eventually release this for the XBOX 360...

[DizneyRox]

The opening sequence is pretty dark, much like the Sorcerers Apprentice, it actually borrows a lot from that (Yen Sid is part of it). Looks pretty good! It's all over youtube... The game is already available on the Internets as well...

Not sure I would invest in any of the collectors editions, etc though. A famous PT Barnum quote comes to mind...

[JPL]

I never understood the 1 system exclusive games. I mean the average person is not going to buy a different system just for one game. I really think they close out a large portion of their target audience.

[WDWfanatic742]

Well the whole paintbrush thing was really only possible to consumers on the Wii until just a couple months ago. Sure developers have had the Move and Kinect for awhile now, but nobody wants to develop on a platform that they have no idea how it's going to come out.

Plus I'm sure they got an Exclusive contract with Nintendo just off how much press they are getting from them...

[WDWfanatic742]

So the reviews are out for the game. Most praise the game for getting Mickey back into video games and getting Oswald the respect he deserves. The story seems to be the biggest plus, with lots of extras for us Disney fans that should be able to pick out everything. The only things that seem to be a negatives are the camera is like the old Mario 64 game (If you played that you know the camera can be annoying sometimes). Then the combat is almost secondary (I don't think this is much of a con, as I didn't want to be the main point for the game).

Overall, most are giving 8's and above. I can't wait for this game

DD1 Birthday is on Thursday. We pre-ordered it for her. Will pick up for her Sweet 16 on Tuesday morning for the Thursday birthday.

This game was originally slated for all the consoles. However, the lead developer felt the game play would not translate to the PS3 nor the XBox360 with the traditional controller.

So, the game was limited to the Wii to start. However, I did read with the new motion-sensing peripherals for the PS3 and 360 would allow the game to eventually be ported to those systems.

[BrerGnat]

I, for one, am happy that Nintendo Wii was the chosen platform. Nintendo never got Kingdom Hearts... It's our turn to have a cool game!
