I will punch something if this is a lie.
I needs it.
I needs it.
This is stupid and people who believe this is plausible are being stupid.
We just need someone from DreamRift confirming it. The fact is that they haven't updated their site yet with EM infos. Maybe there's an embargo till the April NP issue actually is released to not subscribers ( next tuesday ), but I need a confirmation at this point...

Lost all credibility when it said that level of sprite work is "easy." Lol, no.
By the way how many of those bets (if any) have you lost over the years? Which ones?
I think it's a real game, if not I think thomasos should be banned. :/

actually Nintendo Magazine France

Ohh somebody do a bet with Stumpokapow again.
Yeah, I wanted to say Nintendo Magazine France, but I haven't written the "Magazine" I don't know why, sorry
Random aside, on that note: Why on Earth is the 'magic suit' in Magical Quest not styled after Sorceror Mickey?

I've never lost a bet on GAF. My Cave Story 3D bet with Fernando Rocker got cancelled when the game got delayed 5 months.
You would believe a guy who thinks the concept art is a screenshot that Nintendo Power would make one of their cover stories an april fools joke.
Okay.
Lets not even get into that part of his "evidence" are the sprites of Scrooge McDuck and Peter Pan being ripped out of SNES games despite neither appearing on that console to the best of my knowledge
If you read his posts you can tell he's just being overly paranoid and grasping at any straw he can get his hands on. Look at this:
You gotta be shitting me, this is one of the reasons he considers it a hoax? Dude just doesn't have a strong case at all.takieda said:
EDIT- If you also factor in Warren talking about the 3DS version in this article with Eurogamer, itd be pretty hard pressed to take it as an april fools prank by NP.

Plus there is an interview with Warren Spector and he talks about it as well.
REMEMBER, THE SKY ISN'T BLUE, AND THE CAKE IS A LIE. A LIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
So...Stumpokapow should go on that site, register, and just say to takieda "You fuckin paranoic moron, you owe me a lot of money!"

Wait...there are people who think that the 3DS game is an April Fools joke?
Amazing.
It's not a joke, folks. Sometimes games that look this awesome actually happen.

Thought so. That said, it sounds like you've lost bets, only not on GAF. Care to elaborate?
Warren Spector PERSONALLY ripped the Scooge McDuck sprites out of Super Nintendo games just for Nintendo Power's DOCTORED screenshots!
He is not to be trusted!!
As will I!

I'll join you on this bet that doesnt involve money. If the game turns out to be real, winner gets an awesome tag. For losers, their tag must say "I hump evilore's leg for pennies"
This. And the reason people haven't seen the game anywhere else is that we have a true exclusive on it for the time being.
I really enjoyed Castle of Illusion, and recently got into the Land & Legend of Illusion games.
I'm also fond of the work done on Monster's Tale, and I have a recently bought Hatsworth unopened.
I also saw the screen, and agree that... for the most part... it captures Castle of Illusion really well.
Despite all of these things, I can't help but fear the worst for this game.
Is that weird?

Not to mention we've known about this game for about a fortnight now. It seems like anything within a month-long proximity to April Fools is considered a joke nowadays.
The entire existence of Nintendo Power has just been one big, several-decade long April Fools Day joke where the aim was to mildly upset some people on something called 'the internet' by lying about the existence of a Mickey Mouse game in 2012.

Whenever the first 3DS revision is announced.

Don't bet on gubernatorial elections.
I don't think it's weird because it's very easy to hype something up for it to only fall short (my personal one was probably the hype surrounding Smash Bros Brawl. Okay, I enjoyed it initially, and then it just got really boring and not worthy of the hype).
It looks gorgeous definitely, but there is always something that could go wrong. I'm personally going to keep my optimism hat on, and it will probably be a day-one purchase regardless on my end, but it's very easy to be blinded by the nostalgia glasses and to have unblinding faith in it, when it could end up being CoI-like in name and visuals only.
But yeah, as I said, it looks incredible, and I don't see how I won't be picking this (and the console one, but that's another post for another thread) up ASAP, unless they SERIOUSLY screw up.
...YES.
I would love if they made references to the other Illusion games - doing the carpet ride on World of Illusion was one of my most memorable moments (that and the two-player exclusive Christmas present level), but to even make tribute to one of them is amazing.
I hope that they'll bundle in the original, too.

So it is officially Disney Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion, without the 2, good, good. Nice to see it being its own game and not as I (and others) had said about it seemingly being like a me too game.
What's the link to the ban bet post? I kinda want to see what he said.

Well that sounds great.
Im just praying that the music are remixes of disney classics and not Jim Dooley music.
Someone nees to confirm who is going to do the music and the style of it, is the only thing im afraid of.

It was actually a $10 bet not a ban bet like the comic says
So “Disney Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion” it is.
Look at ALL those. The artwork in this game looks great.
Well as far as Jim Dooley's music goes I hope they at least retain his themes for Mickey and Oswald from EM1 if they go the route of remixing the classics instead

This game (and the Wii version) got a special Nintendo Show 3D episode dedicated to it! They interviewed Warren Spector and showed the screens we've seen so far in 3D, which was weak IMO. Hopefully it's just the video compression or something because I think the game would benefit from a stronger 3D effect.
Not sure if this has been posted but the Nintendo 3D show on the 3DS has an interview with Warren Spektor (how's that for spelling?) and it's got the screen caps from the OP in actual 3D if anyone is wanting to check them out... sadly no footage of the game in motion though.
Edit: WOW Beaten... by like 36 hours... man I'm lame... and the spelling "joke" is even worse now... I should just edit it all out, but it's more appropriate to live with the shame.

Yeah, you can't really discern the effect's strength in the game based on video footage, since there's no depth slider. It just gives you an idea of how the various layers will be separated, which I thought looked pretty good.

I like the way this looks. I hope it looks at least as good as Mighty Switch Force! The video in the eShop isn't the best quality, but it does give an idea of what to expect.
One small thing I noticed is that they seemed to have flipped the sprites. It looks like Mickey switches the hand he is holding his paintbrush in each time he switches directions. I wonder if they did the same for the other characters. It's the Ambidextrous Spite!
I hope DreamRift gets enough time and resources to do an excellent job; I though Henry Hatsworth and Monster Tale were good, but not great.
