Epic Mickey creator Warren Spector spoke on the original plan for his dark-themed Disney adventure, and it never included Nintendo’s next-gen powerhouse. Here’s what he told Official Nintendo Magazine:
“The reality is that we started Wii development in 2008…but before that we were a PC, PS3, and 360 title.”
He goes on to discuss how Disney wanted a Wii port to follow, but Spector’s response wasn’t what execs wanted to hear:
“It needs to be its own game. A lot of the design ideas just won’t work on the Wii, we need to give the Wii its dues.”
So the end result of that whole fiasco? Simple, Disney Interactive’s Graham Hopper decides to make Epic Mickey a Wii exclusive and have Spector place his focus on one system. Smart choice!
Here’s a few snapshots of Mickey’s new adventure:
