Epic Mickey made a splash onto the gaming scene with an initial round of leaked concept art, and these latest images are just as impressive. You could argue that the title never lived up to the hype, but I think it was a respectable start. Junction Point Studios didn’t have a ton of video game development experience, though, so I’d say it was a good start. Epic Mickey seemed to have performed quite well on the market, so perhaps we’ll see a sequel in the future.

Thanks to Fred for the tip!
