Austin-born ‘Epic Mickey’ is real, looks spectacular
Back when it was a mere slip of a rumor, bolstered by tantalizing, apocalyptic artwork, we reported on Austin game godfather Warren Spector’s crazy Disney Interactive project, “Epic Mickey.”
Now, according to a cover story in “Game Informer” magazine hitting mailboxes any day now, the game is real. Oh, so real. And it’ll be a Nintendo Wii exclusive from Spector’s Junction Point Studios (which is owned by Disney). Check out the magazine cover art (from Game Informer’s Web site):
The site plans to roll out new content related to “Epic Mickey” over the next month (I’m patiently waiting my print edition; I’m a subscriber).
On offering at the site right now is a great piece about Warren Spector’s Disney memorabilia collection and a video you can see below (see the original in HD on the Game Informer site). It’s a great video with Spector reminiscing about his childhood Disney love.
We can’t wait to hear more about what Spector’s doing with Disney’s stable of beloved characters. Can’t help but hope it’s indeed epic, and as twisted and dark as the artwork suggests.
