Epic Mickey is important to Disney as a whole, it's their attempt to make Mickey Mouse relevant again since the character has become nothing but a hollow brand in the modern age, someone who's just there but if you asked people about his character traits, what could they answer?

I wonder if Disney could allow all of the famous Disney NES and SNES games to be placed on a wii disc and sold as either a pre-order bonus, or a tag along game for when Epic Mickey is released?

Since they weren't developed by Disney I don't think they can unilaterally decide that.

I'd love a deal to get them on VC. I grew up with a lot of these games. Aladdin, Magical Quest Starring Mickey, Tale Spin, Darkwing Duck, Duck Tales, Goof Troop, Chip N Dale. Disney games were different because they were liscenced games with quality in them.

There was a Tail Spin game?

What system was it on?

Stratos · « **Reply #503 on:** July 06, 2010, 04:48:06 AM »

NES. It was a scrolling shooter with different levels side-scrolling and other vertical scrolling.

I'd definitely buy the Lion King, Aladdin, and Toy Story games for the Genesis.

Duck Tales and it's sequel for the NES were awesome-sauce. DT2 edged out the first game by having more exploration and getting rid of the timer.

In general Capcom had more quality with licensed games in general back in the NES/SNES. All Konami had was Tiny Toons, TMNT and Animaniacs. The rest were either meh or just plain ****.

I'd get Aladdin, Darkwing Duck and Lion King, great games.

I pretty much missed all of the Disney games. I think I played Duck Tales at someone's house, and maybe Aladdin, but that's it. I'd probably get a collection if one existed, but I wouldn't pay for them individually.

TJ Spyke · « **Reply #508 on:** July 06, 2010, 08:46:51 PM »

DuckTales (one word BTW) was one of my favorite shows, although I admit I never played the video game version.

We all seem to be forgetting the Magical Quest Starring Mickey Mouse.

Ahem?

That was when I started figuring out all games were not made by Nintendo and that infamous 'Capcom jingle' in the intro of the game helped sink them in my mind as a quality developer.

Toruresu · « **Reply #511 on:** July 07, 2010, 03:06:51 PM »

Magical Quest, that was for the Sega Genesis? They had an awesome Mickey game my cousins had.

Stratos · « **Reply #512 on:** July 07, 2010, 03:31:09 PM »

I had it on SNES.

Mop it up · « **Reply #513 on:** July 07, 2010, 08:34:44 PM »

Magical Quest was only for the SNES. The two Mickey games I found using a GameFAQs search for the Genesis are Mickey Mania: The Timeless Adventures of Mickey Mouse and World of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse & Donald Duck.

Magical Quest was only for the SNES.

It was also ported to the GBA as Disney's Magical Quest starring Mickey Mouse in 2002. I assume you only meant that there was no Genesis version. The Genesis also got Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse.

Mop it up · « **Reply #515 on:** July 07, 2010, 09:25:36 PM »

No, I meant what I said.

EDIT: Never mind, my search failed me. Stupid GameFAQs has "Castle of Illusion" under so many different titles, and is even different in searches than in the master list!

IGN's posted footage of the FMV intro to the game on their main page. It's pretty awesome. My only nitpick with it is that I would have appreciated seeing Mickey's character design changing during the montage where they flashed his cartoons over the years, but I guess that wouldn't have made sense considering he reverts to a design similar to his original look for this game.

Caterkiller · « **Reply #518 on:** August 16, 2010, 04:12:08 PM »

That opening is so awesome! I really feel like an epic quest is about to begin! Does anyone know if Mickey talks in this game?

I get the feeling from the intro and some gameplay videos I've seen that all we're going to hear from Mickey are incidental sounds like the ones he makes when he jumps or whatnot. Very Banjo-Kazooie-ish. Maybe we'll hear something like "uh-huh!" or whatnot, but I doubt we'll hear full-fledged voice acting (outside of the narrator). We'd have heard samples by now if the game were going to have any. I think they're using that space they're saving not using voice acting on the environments to make sure they look good.

broodwars · « **Reply #520 on:** September 03, 2010, 05:30:47 PM »

GameTrailers has posted the entire Intro Cinematic, including the section missing at the end of the original release. Overall, it looks pretty cool, though the behavior of Oswald in it is...odd. Supposedly, iirc at first he's a villain in this game due to decades-long resentment. But in this video, he's obviously terrified of Mickey.

Dirk Temporo · « **Reply #521 on:** September 06, 2010, 03:04:40 PM »

Because Mickey destroyed his world.

Louieturkey · « **Reply #522 on:** September 06, 2010, 03:09:16 PM »

To me he kind of acts similar to Mickey in some ways. Plus he also makes the same types of noises that Mickey makes. It's like they tried to make him seem similar. My guess is Oswald will have his resentment intensified by the blotch thing and become more angry as the game progresses. Eventually Mickey will save him though even though he will be portrayed as the villain thru most of the game.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #523 on:** September 15, 2010, 04:21:50 PM »

Okay people we have a few release dates.
November 26th 2010 for Europe.
November 30th 2010 for the US.

Also here is the video that shows that.

Release Date trailer

NWR has the announcement for the US date.
Pause it at 30 seconds.I think that is a statue of Walt Disney.

Yeah, it's the famous statue of Disney and Mickey holding hands that's in the middle of the central Hub at every Disneyland/Magic Kingdom Park.

As for the game, the gameplay impressions I've been seeing lately haven't been encouraging, the story doesn't seem to resemble its original (interesting) incarnation, and the visuals aren't coming off well in the videos I've seen. I'll probably be waiting for reviews or Christmas for this one.
