Check out the hotness! That right there is Game Informer's teasing cover image for the long-awaited Warren Spector-developed "Epic Mickey" game. Rumored to be a steampunk Wii game that gives grown-up Mickey Mouse fans something to really chew on, the "Epic Mickey" project is an incredibly exciting one, and this ludicrously cool art is most tantalizing indeed.
Now all we need, of course, is some actual gameplay to look at. This thing has been a concept for a very long time, and hopefully Game Informer will finally shed light on the whole thing. Still, I can't wait to see this thing in motion and find out if truly the expectation is worth it. We're going to have to sit tight until such Intel comes out way, so I guess all we can do right now is fap over that artwork.
Well? Get fapping!
[Update: GI accidentally loaded a full page to the Internet before promptly tearing it down. Luckily, however, we nabbed the page and can now spill some first solid details. Firstly, it's confirmed for the Wii as a single-player title and will be released in Fall 2010. Check out the page, shown in our gallery.]

Best game ever CONFIRMED.
Also, twisted version of "it's a small world?"
I WANT THIS NOW.
that's so damn epic!
I hope the gameplay is just as good. I can't wait!
Seriously though, I'm surprised the Mouse Haus is allowing such a departure from the norm with this.
Oh well. Like I've said before, I'm sure it will be a great game regardless knowing who's behind it.
a) They can make a good game and
b) The shitty-looking Wii games from before are the developer's fault, not the console's.
*Fapfapfapfapfapfapfapfapfapfap*
This is actually confimed as a Wii exclusive...
@NihonTiger90
Actually, your b) point as been proved several times: just look at Super Mario Galaxy, Muramasa, Metroid Prime 3, SSBB, Red Steel 2, Monster Hunter 3, Tatsunoko vs Capcom, Little King's Story, The Crystal Bearers, etc... all those games have great visuals... bad games with bad graphics are developers faults, not the Wii. Yes, the Wii can't achieve graphics like the 360/PS3, but I'm not expecting those kind of graphics on the Wii (that's why I have HD systems), but I also love my Wii as much as I love my other systems (I like games, no matter the platform), but just because I'm not expecting the same visuals on the Wii as in the HD consoles, it doesn't mean that I wan ugly graphics on my Wii games.
Sorry, I forgot to include the link: http://gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2009/10/05/spoiler-alert-epic-november-issue-revealed.aspx
*half hearted fap*
Ballz. Not just because of the graphics statement but because I don't have a Wii (and don't plan on ever getting one....again).
Cheers!

LOVE all these amazing games the Wii is getting recently.
Only time will tell...
Seriously though, damm man, this one is so bound to be good it's not even funny.
*fapfapfapfap* (the sound of me dusting)
Now excuse me that i'm going to cry quietly until i fall asleep.
