"We've also been told that it'll be based around very old and/or forgotten Disney characters who are out to get their revenge on Mickey"

This game just became a must-buy for me.

OMG that sounds amazing. It's a shame it's wii exclusive though. I don't own the system. I was hoping it would be multiplatform!!!

If this comes out for only the Wii, I'll finally have to pick one up.

This all sounds wonderful and all, but I can't help but think even if this gets the full green light, it's going to be neutered by Disney's "Family Friendly" Axe Squad.

Disney Interactive bought out Spector's Junction Point studios, knowing fully well this was their idea.

Pirates didn't have a character known to audiences world wide as "kid safe", that being Mickey Mouse.

And Disco, business relationships can, have, and will continue to go awry. I don't know if you all remember, but Disney worked VERY closely with Square Enix to make sure KH stayed close to the heart of Disney IP.

Nah, I don't think Disney would have a problem with this project, and I am convinced that this probably comes from the bigwigs as an idea for a new project. Isn't Disney trying to appeal to the tweeny kiddos nowadays, anyway? This seems perfect for that approach...

@Araman

Interestingly enough, in the early talks on KH Square Enix wanted the game to star Mickey Mouse exclusively, Disney wanted Donald Duck, and Nomura didn't want either. What we got was the compromise between all sides, at least that's what I heard.

Why couldn't they port this to the other consoles when the time comes?

I think the point of "when the time comes" was referring to Natal and PS3's second attempt at motion controls - which would make the control scheme doable for other consoles.

hey, Disney thought Oswald was worth enough to give up Al Michaels for him.

Oswald the Lucky Rabbit! Who knew?

Thanks, Joystiq, for the fascinating Wiki reading.

(What if they hadn't given up Oswald and to spite Disney renamed the game series Oswald The Lucky Rabbit? (What will happen when John kicks off (for the last time)? Will the games still be called Madden? (Why is it I don't really consider sports-gamers to really be gamers?))

I heard about this. So, the PS3 version of Rage only gets 20-30fps to the 360 and PC's 60?

It's like the Mother series, only with Disney!...

(Thinks about lack of Mother 3 in U.S.)

Oh my, now I made myself sad. ;_;

Nothing against Kingdom Hearts but... this is the right way to use Disney characters in an awesomely epic game.

I have to break ranks here. This looks terrible. Did American McGee commission Todd McFarlane to "blow people's minds with some Disney shit", and did Todd then get lazy and rip off HR Geiger, and then did an angry sixteen year old post some fan fiction images of that monstrosity on his Deviant Art page?

Dammit. Just when I thought I wouldn't need my Wii anymore...
It got fried in a thunderstorm, and I was just coming to grips with not replacing it with the insurance money.
Oh well. I guess I can hold off until this game comes out. Wiis oughta be cheaper by then anyway...

This is bullshit. An epic Disney game could be cool but to get "revenge" on Mickey? That's ridiculous. Mickey was just a better character than "clarabelle cow?" and Horace the horse? That just sounds stupid. And didn't Wayne allwine die like 3 months ago? Okami Was a ps2 game and now it's on the wii. Fuck this game. R.I.P Wayne allwine stick with kingdom hearts please Disney. Don't do this to one of your most beloved characters. And if anyone had a half a brain they wouldn't support this crap.

This titles feels uncannily inspired by the beautifully artistic and atmospheric Machinarium (http://www.machinarium.com/) by Amanita Design. Mostly from an artistic point of view, I realize the gameplay differs somewhat.

Some of this is good, but most of it seems to be a big NO. Especially the freakish cyborgs made of mashed-up Disney characters. They were definitely on drugs when they designed some of this.
