I think if anyone can tackle Mario, it's Mickey... One is as recognizable as the other. Not to mention that Disney Interactive has been pumping out very impressive games as of late.

Well if it fails, according to the concept art, Mickey can always fall back on his paint thinner manufacturing business.

It's a mechanical goofy!

I'm actually really liking the look of this. I don't think there's any danger of this harming the Mickey brand, it seems pretty much dead anyway besides Saturday morning cartoons and Kingdom Hearts. Plus I think the strangeness of it (and assumed quality due to Spector) coupled with the recognition Mickey has would make it a massive seller

Never, ever, ever going to fucking happen.

Anybody remember a mickey mouse/disney game for SNES where he was a wizard? That game was awesome. I'd like to ask JC about that.

"The Magical Quest Starring Micke Mouse"

Excellent game, one of my favorite SNES platformers.

Yeah, I made an unofficial article about this on The Escapist. Here's why this will be awesome.

1) Warren Spector is making it.

2) See above.

I can't wait to see what he has in store for Mickey. I'm anticipating this as much as the Bethesda and id Software Wii games.

id isn't making a Wii game anymore, that was just Doom Resurrection.

Bethesda's i'm kinda sketchy on, too. It could just mean publishing, not developing. And Bethesda has published Wii games before. Bad ones.

Shockingly epic! Mickey Mouse is becoming a lot cooler as a video game character as of late.

I hope Epic Mickey is actually the title of the video game and not just a working title. It sounds like a winner from the off.

Holy crap...

I don't know whether to be excited or worried. I'm a big ol' Disney fan, and seeing Mickey in a different light might not work so well for me. I was never really into Kingdom Hearts even.

That being said though, the artwork is breathtakingly beautiful. If nothing else, this game will be visually appealing. Also, the inclusion of Disney World is something never been done before so that's pretty cool.

Even Mickey can't make JRPG's tolerable.

They'll have to market it carefully. It won't be a kids game, and any time you rework a classic, dare I say overdone, character, some amazing things can happen, like Frank Miller's take on Batman.

I'm not a huge Disney fan by any means, but the concept art does look crazy cool.

The concept art looks amazing. Let's hope the game is as imaginative as Castle of Illusion was.

This game looks hyper rad!!
But
If this was on the PS3/XB360 it might have a chance of actually looking like this.
But on the Wii? No thanks.

I could see this happening. I would love to see this happen. Game might not be for the young Disney crowd, but could be for those teenagers that the magic has worn off of a little. Disney does distribute the Tim Burton stuff so I could see them backing this too.

Disney Adventures in the Magic Kingdom for NES and Walt Disney World Quest Magical Racing Tour for the PS2. The first game is one that I had only played once, but the second one I received as a gift while in Disney back in 2001 and you actually race through different parts of Disney World. Just like Mario Kart, but in Disney with Disney characters.

Um...I don't understand what I'm looking at here. It looks awesome...but what the F? IT...what...I suppose this is in such an early stage that you won't know what we'll be doing in this. I see tiny b&w characters...do...do we play as them? I'm so curious, I must know more!

I'm out of words... I can only say EPIC!!!

Disney's Magical Quest series were good, to bad Mickey on the Game Cube didn't do very well, but this game looks like it's more directed to teens / late-teens (like myself with 16) who grow watching more Disney than anime, and this puts Mickey in another level, because he isn't, well, wasn't, on this style of art and mature...

Kingdom Hearts it's good, one of my three favorite series, but it lacks of Disney some times. This title looks like it may put more attention to anyone because it will be different, and, if it's going to compete with Mario, it will be a platformer game, and that means I will like it!!!
