Spector wants Epic Mickey comics/cartoons/film, has big plans for Epic Mickey as a franchise, going after Mario and Zelda

Warren Spector on comics/cartoons/film…

“I’ve had some discussions with people and really, really want to see some comics and cartoons and feature animation built around this. There have been discussions about all sorts of things talking about other possibilities around this project. I really hope it’s going to happen and I’m going to keep beating on that drum.

Spector on putting Epic Mickey on Wii…

“I think there is always a risk. The nintendo games are fantastic and do extremely well and third-party don’t do quite as well. We are putting a lot of muscle behind this. We have an advantage that no one has. You say Mickey and Disney and the whole world changes, everything changes. If anyone has a chance of really delivering something special on the Wii, Nintendo-level special, it’s us.”

Spector on expanding Epic Mickey into a franchise…

“I certainly have big plans. Have they been approved? No. But I have had a lot of discussions about what is going to happen next. In my mind it’s already a franchise. I really can’t abide the thought that it will be OK or mediocre. We are going after Mario and Zelda, Ratchet and Clank, we all aspire to that. I don’t always succeed, but we’re always shooting for the moon. I’m a man of many motos and one of them is fail gloriously.”

Wow, I’m loving what Warren Spector has been saying about Epic Mickey. I’ll admit, I’m not impressed with most of the screenshots that have been released thus far, but I certainly have more confidence in the actual gameplay. And it’s great to see a Wii developer with so much enthusiasm!

    “Going after Mario and Zelda”

    Sounds very ambitious of Mr Spektor. I hope he’s done his homeork if he’s serious about what he’s setting out to do. Personally I hope he obtains his goal, but many have tried and many have failed at going after mario and zelda. This also begs the question as well: Do we really need a new mario or zelda?

    “but many have tried and many have failed at going after mario and zelda.”

    so i’m guessing you didn’t play The Legend Of Zelda Oracle Of Ages/Seasons?
