Mickey Mouse is set to take gamers on a whole new adventure with ‘Epic Mickey,’ a Nintendo Wii exclusive. Little to no information has been released regarding the game. Warren Spector’s Point Junction Studios is heading the project, and the upcoming cover of Game Informerreveals a very artistic, dark, and mature shade of the Mouse. Look forward to additional information being spilt about Epic Mickey in the November issue of said magazine. The last greatest Mickey Mouse video game I played was “Mickey Mania: The Timeless Adventures of Mickey Mouse” on Sega Genesis (1994). This was a classic side-scroller that featured different versions of Mickey as you progressed through the game (from Steamboat Willy (1928) (my favorite) to The Prince and the Pauper (1990)). I have high hopes for the new Mickey tale; the motion controls of the Wii and today’s enhanced graphics should do him some justice. He’s due for another artistic and well developed game, wouldn’t you say?

If you take a look, the concept art for this game is absolutely fantastic. I’m really excited for it’s release.
