If you’ve had your eyes peeled on Game Informer since the site’s relaunch, you’re already very familiar with Disney Interactive’s upcoming Epic Mickey (check out our Epic Mickey hub page for tons of features). While originally touted as a Wii exclusive, word has surfaced from the Las Vegas DICE summit regarding the title going multi-platform at some point in the future.
"The key mechanic [in Epic Mickey] is an ink and paint mechanic", said Disney executive Graham Hopper, regarding the game’s intrinsic link to motion control.
"We have a very large audience base that has Wiis in their home", he continued. Graham also said "that's not to say that we won't go to other platforms [in the future].
Considering both the 360 and PS3 are getting motion control this year, it seems only natural that Disney would consider releasing the game for the consoles. Further strengthening this possibility, Hopper goes on to say "If we started it six months ago we would have potentially thought differently about it." He's likely referring to the developments of Project Natal and Sony's motion control here.
It’s no secret that the Wii’s third-party “hardcore” titles haven’t done so well in the past. Could it be that Disney sees exclusivity on the console as a losing situation? What do you think?
