EDIT: Game Informer has recently removed their claim that Epic Mickey is a Wii exclusive game. The claim did raise a few eyebrows among certain gamers, especially considering the game’s “artwork” nature. So I guess we shouldn’t make more core games for the Wii after all, despite the fact that’s what everyone’s going on and on about.

For those of you who didn’t catch the news the first time around, Epic Mickey is an upcoming video game designed by Warren Spector, the man behind Deus Ex, for Disney Interactive Studios. The game is being developed by Junction Point Studios and has been described as a Wii exclusive steampunkesque title.

Game Informer is currently finishing up on their next issue, the cover of which will feature artwork from Epic Mickey, with the subtitle “Disney’s iconic mouse as you’ve never seen him”. Over the month of October,

GameInformer.com will feature exclusive screenshots, animation, concept art and music from the upcoming game, kicking off with an interview with Warren Spector at 4PM CST today.

I’m a huge steampunk fan, and a pretty big Mickey Mouse fan, and I can’t wait to see how this game turns out.
