Shit just got scary, I'm extremely freaked by the art. Reminds me of The Apprentice (or something), where Mickey swipes the Wizard's wand and creates a billion broomstick slaves, who drown the whole world (or something). I can't wait to see some actual gameplay.

I was under the impression that Epic Mickey has always been a Wii title.

Not sure why you got downvoted ... I felt the same way. Looks like a good title for Wii owners though.

Just buy a Wii, if that is the problem. They're cheap enough now.

I don't think he was disappointed because he can't get a Wii to play it on. I think he was disappointed because it will probably end up being a much crappier game than it would if it were on the 360/PS3.

And I know I'm going to get flamed for that, but I'm really not trying to troll here.

Knowing this thing is only on the Wii means we'll have to accept that the final game won't look anything close to the concept art. Considering the sheer detail in the revealed concept art, that's a shame.

I have a Wii, but I'd love to see something like this on a more powerful console.

I agree. The concept art is absolutely stunning, the Wii doesn't have near enough power to do that.

Ever since the rumor of this game leaked it has been talked about like it was a wii exclusive. I know when me and fernando were talking about we both assumed it was wii exclusive, and I look forward to hearing more about it.

I always stifle a laugh at the folks who say he Wii can't do this or that when it comes to art style.

Art style is just that — art STYLE. A good designer (and I suppose we'd all agree that Warren Spector qualifies as a good game designer) will take into account limitations and strengths of a system and ensure that said art style will come through.

1. This was my first time hearing of the game, I guess I wasn't around when it was originally announced.

2. I own a Wii and enjoy many of the games for it.

3. Completely agree on the stifled laugh at people who can't differentiate the artistic quality and technical/graphical quality of a game.

Thanks, guys.

@Samfish: True, but Okami's style was set in stone with the concept art, there is no way in hell that the Wii can produce something like this concept art. That's what people are getting at, we all know you don't have to have good graphics for a good style, but with this particular style, you do.

If you roll around the dev team's site, you'll only see them using Wiimotes and N Dev kits. Thus it was widely believed to be Wii-exclusive before any sort of confirmation.

You know, while I disagree with those who got down voted and I agree with everyone else, something doesn't seem right about people with non-mainstream opinions getting their posts whited out. Like their opinion isn't as good as everyone else's. It's like the Digg-ocracy.

were it possible to travel to an alternate reality where Okami was first announced THIS gen instead of last and all people had to go by was the concept art, I can guarantee you any prize on Earth that people would be saying that the Wii is incapable of producing Okami's visuals.
There are STILL HD graphics whores who think Okami would look better in HD (it really wouldn't beyond resolution).

Is it possible that the art style is too ambitious for the Wii? Of course. Given the talent behind this, though, it seems unlikely that they won't do it justice.

Hey Mr. Khan, while you're so busy pointing out other people's poor observation skills, how about the rafter of reading comprehension in your own eye? I DID NOT KNOW THIS GAME EXISTS.

That wasn't directed at you. It was a general statement on the old question of the game's Wii exclusivity.

Epic was an adjective before it became a game developer - deal with it.
