Off Topic Productions

Warren Spector you magnificent bastard! Thankyou for this most awesome gift! This is a game that I've wanted from you for so long, A return to something like Toon!!! Only now its better because its SteamPunkified! So Can't Wait!!

I love the new Robotic Goofy

I hear it's going to be a platformer

And a Wii exclusive


Oh and also: OLD!

really? cause most of the Australian game presses are only just announcing it, like as of this week. I know we've known about the game being "in production" but I hadn't seen concept art of it yet.

And a Wii exclusive

Awwwww... shit..

ruined a perfectly good idea... well at least the concept art looks good why oh why didn't warren say "make it an RPG", I mean I'd pay for something like Toon as a game.

Rumours always beat proper announcements:

How can this be OLD when its from only 2 weeks ago? News gets to Australia pretty slow. Also News =/= Rumors.. The confirmed concept art however are news.

I use the word "old" in the Internet sense.

Why is talent being wasted on crap?

Because selling games is about brand recognition, not quality.

OR MAYBE IT'LL BE GOOD WHO KNOWS.

Jeez is there no middle ground between fanboyism and utter contempt these days?

I'm disappointed that it's going to be a Wii game and slightly disconcerted at rumours of platform gameplay, but the painting mechanic sounds interesting, and it would explain the Wii exclusivity. There's a chance Epic Mickey will be a platform game in the same sense that Psychonauts was a platform game (which is to say it was really more of a puzzle game disguised with platform mechanics), so that might be interesting. I'd have to borrow a friend's Wii to play it though, which displeases me.

Platformers don't have to be disasters (see: Beyond Good & Evil). Just the Wii-exclusitivity concerns. Bloody consoles.

The art looks awesome at least!

How does a wii work with platformers?

In response to your rhetorical question, no.

Oh and as a Wii owner, I have to admit I am hoping this title will turn out good. The bloody thing could use some actual games.
