Epic Mickey Confirmed for Fall 2010 on Wii

The long-rumored, Mickey Mouse-themed project from Deus Ex dev Warren Spector's Junction Point Studios has been confirmed as a Wii-exclusive single player game.

Thanks to an upcoming GameInformer cover story (seen above), we now also know the title is targeted for a fall 2010 release.

However, plot and gameplay details have yet to be nailed down. Rumors from July indicated the game's storyline will follow "very old and/or forgotten Disney characters who are out to get their revenge on Mickey."

That rumor also noted that players will be "[painting their] way through levels using the Wii Remote," a detail seemingly corroborated by the paintbrush in the above image.

I'm pretty excited for this based on the concept alone. I've been waiting for another good creepy game since Alice.

Still want to see some screen, though. I have my doubts that the Wii could pull off the graphics this game deserves.

Sounds utterly lame. Cool for Wii or the kiddies though. Otherwise a huge yawn all around.
