I also know someone with a PS3 (only) that will be extremely upset about this news. Huge disney fan (probably been to WDW over 50 times), owns more $ in disney stuff than probably everything in my house is worth.

The name and logo are uninspired. I hope they're not final. Kingdom Hearts and Disney fans will eat this up. There's no way this game won't do well in the marketplace.

Thinking about it... isn't this like, the first "AAA" third-party Wii game? Like, it's not a spinoff, it's being developed by serious talent instead of a B-team, its publisher and IP will no doubt ensure it will be well advertised, and from what little we know it'll contain "core" elements but still take advantage of the Wii. The only other example I can think of is Monster Hunter 3.

That's worth thinking about, for sure.

Okay, here's the list I've got of candidates that satisfy those conditions:
Trauma Center -- although it's a DS remake, serious talent, well-advertised for an Atlus game, takes advantage of the Wii while being very hardcore.

We Love Golf -- not spinoff, serious talent, but underadvertised and ended up being a "minor" title in terms of quality and impact, takes advantage of Wii. Kinda casual.

Zack and Wiki -- underadvertised and I have no idea if the team was considered an A-team within Capcom.

Boom Blox -- EALA / Dreamworks Interactive -- but it's casual

SSX Blur - EA Montreal ended up kinda being sorta mid-tier and the game was kinda meh, so I guess not.

A Boy and His Blob - fails on advertising criteria

Little King's Story - fails on advertising and taking advantage of the Wii but really star-studded talent involved.

Muramasa if you consider Vanillaware talented, lol Tales of Graces if you consider whatever tales team makes it. MadWorld if you consider Platinum high talent.

And, as you mentioned, Monster Hunter 3.

Hope this is as good as Magical Quest (hey, I thought it was great).

Totally agree. One of my favorite games of the SNES generation. I'd love to have another Disney release that lives up to that standard.

Name I can kinda agree with, but I really liked the logo for whatever reason.
Can't wait for this game, especially if it is a platformer!

Edit: October 12th, huh? Can't wait.

cool art...but what are they tring do to Mickey Mouse? He's an incredibly iconic and rather bland every childs character...epic and cool don't really fit. Still, I suppose its just a frame of reference to apply to a new concept

Still looks fantastic. Can't wait to see in game screens...or video. Mostly video :lol

I wonder how it plays. Mickey has a paintbrush, so maybe something similar to Okami?

Why would they be "extremely" upset?

$200 for a Wii is pittance compared to a trip to WDW, let alone multiple.

That cover art looks amazing. I doubt the entire game will look like that though, so those worrying about whether the concept art will show up can chill out for now.

I'm sure he can spend $200 for a Wii and $50 for the game then if he is that big of a Disney fanatic. :p

Very interested in the genre now. Action-Adventure?
Click to expand...
Wait, what? Now I'm interested.


I don't know why I'm alone here but I really don't get a "this is awesome" vibe from the art. Yeah, it's quality, but it doesn't really look all that outside of "let's make this weird just for the sake of making this weird."

That doesn't look that bad, so the Wii shouldn't be a problematic platform!

I wouldn't say Mickey is really that iconic anymore. I don't think kids even watch Mickey Mouse cartoons :( Do they even show them on Disney Channel anymore?

I think this appeals to 20 and up crowd who know and love Mickey already. We've played awesome Mickey Mouse games as kids and now this is something we can look forward to.

Artwork is awesome and I can't wait for more media from it!

I must be weird.

I find the cover name and logo to be very underwhelming. The character art is interesting though.

Intriguing, especially with the "paintbrush as a weapon" concept in the mix. Have any hints been dropped on the gameplay mechanics?

Huelen, you creep me out.

It looks action-adventurey more than platformer just based on the art I think. A Zelda/Okami style game would be really cool. I think-- at least historically-- that's what WS has been good at anyway.

the very notion makes me want to cartoonishly jump into the air and click my heels together.

. . . more zelda, less okami, please (requisite okami dig)

Can't unsee! I agree with you though, I can't wait till the full version of that art, as well as all the final art gets release. Such awesome news, can't wait until 5pm! :D

That shot is from either Hide and Sneak or Magical Mirror for the GCN. No shots of this game have been released or leaked.

So seeing the banned members, I take it we're allowed to express our delight of it being on the Wii but not our dismay of it not being on other two?

Well, either way, I'm really excited for the game. I seriously didn't think it would end up looking as dark as the concept art leaks, but that seems to be the case. Day 1 most definitely.

So when is "4 PM CST" ? Someone just say "it's in [x] hours", so that we're not bothered by timezones.

Everyone does, you're not weird.

Nobody cares enough compared to the way the concept art looks though.

I agree, and I'm sure they will end up picking one up, as their kids will no doubt want to play it. They just have huge bookshelves of PS2/PS3 games, long time Sony fan I guess.

If it is central time, it should be in 4 hours.
Also, I lik the logo. It reminds me of the old cartoons' font.
