A heroic tale of redemption and discovery, Disney Epic Mickey is an adventure-platforming game with light role-playing elements for the Nintendo Wii, featuring an iconic and retro Mickey Mouse inspired by cartoons of the 1920s and 1930s. In the game's fiction, a sorcerer named Yen Sid creates a beautiful, whimsically-twisted world where Disney's forgotten and retired creations thrive. Originally, the powerful sorcerer from The Sorcerer's Apprentice in Walt Disney's 1940 film Fantasia was nicknamed ''Yen Sid'' by Disney animators, although never named as such on screen. In Disney Epic Mickey, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit -- Walt Disney's first cartoon star created in 1927 and Mickey's half-brother -- becomes the earliest inhabitant of Yen Sid's Cartoon Wasteland after Mickey Mouse is created. Oswald makes the Cartoon Wasteland comfortable for other retired characters as they join him in this magical land. Years pass, and as Oswald dwells in the Cartoon Wasteland, he becomes resentful watching Mickey's popularity swell. When Mickey curiously stumbles upon Yen Sid's map, he makes an innocent yet terrible mistake and inadvertently devastates Oswald's comfortable world. Eventually, Mickey's mistake pulls him deep into the mysterious Cartoon Wasteland to face the destruction he unknowingly created. Mickey must use the very elements of animation, paint and paint thinner, to explore the Cartoon Wasteland, find the source of evil that is destroying the land, and redeem his fellow cartoon characters including Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. With visionary game designer Warren Spector behind the title, players choose their own path to defeat supreme evil, face the consequences of those decisions and ultimately free the Cartoon Wasteland. Rating: E10+. Available to own Fall 2010

Key Features:
# Play as a retro inspired Mickey Mouse, who adapts to the player's gaming style as a Hero or a Scrapper
# Explore the warped Disney Cartoon Wasteland and along the way change the world using magic paint and paint thinner

The PS portion of your PS360 isn't the same platform who hosted a plethora of million selling platformers, as it did last generation. I'm sure if this re-imagining had happened under those circumstances, it would have gone multi-platform.

The Wii-exclusive Epic Mickey may be seeing a graphics overhaul due to complaints from fans. The French site GameKyo (via CVG) reports that we'll see a new visual style unveiled at E3. Disney sent word that it "doesn't comment on speculation," but if the rumor is true we'll know in only two short weeks anyway.

The apparent reason for the change is the disparity between concept artwork and screenshots. Fans have felt the game could more closely imitate the stylized art. The developers may be struggling a bit to imitate the style using the more limited power of the Wii, but if the rumor pans out we'll see at E3 how well they've managed to pull it off.

Hmmm...expected something different considering the amazing concept art. Are those old screenshots, or is this the new look?
