NintendoEverything Interview – Epic Mickey
Posted on 14 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in Features, News | 6 Comments
Junction Point talks game length, choice mechanics, and the future of the series in our ‘Epic Mickey’ interview with them.
Last night, we posted up an interview regarding the upcoming game Okamiden for everyone to read, and tonight I’m excited to get back on the interview train with a game that is coming out a little sooner than that one! About a month ago I got an e-mail asking if I wanted to have an interview with some of the guys working on Epic Mickey, and I was ecstatic! Needless to say, I accepted right away, and posted up about it on the site for all of you to give us some questions!
Of course, being the fantastic readers you are, you gave us some things to ask about, and we sent em off. Well, now we’ve got our answers and we’re very excited to let you all read over them. There’s some pretty good info in here, so I encourage you to take a peek.

Reggie thinks Other M should be a million seller, hopes Metroid has a future, more
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 18 Comments
“We believe that it could be, should be a million unit title. We’re not going to get there, not through the holiday. And we are doing a lot of thinking as to why. Because it’s a great game. The consumer reaction because of the quality has been strong. We’re doing a lot of thinking about why we didn’t get there. I think the marketing was strong, advertising was very good, the social media we did was very positive. [Other M is] getting close to half a million.”
Following the comments above, Reggie also discussed the reaction to the portrayal of Samus…
“First off, [I have] nothing but the greatest respect for the development team. Mr. Sakamoto [co-creator of Metoid] did a wonderful job. His partnership with us in promoting the game was stellar. Team Ninja [is] absolutely fabulous. I’m not going to sit here and criticize a style of the game, but have I read the same feedback that said, broadly, that the portrayal of Samus felt different than how the player in the past had internalized the character? I’ve heard and read the same feedback. Do I think it’s warranted or not? I’m not quite sure yet… I don’t yet believe that that is the driving factor to the performance of the game.”
Lastly, Reggie was asked if Metroid has a future…
“I certainly hope so. I’m a passionate fan of Samus and the Metroid series.”
