Spector believes Epic Mickey is the best looking Wii game
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 3 Comments
This information comes from Warren Spector…
“I’m really proud of the team because they embraced the challenge of backing away from their own creativity, and have embraced that of both Disney and the player. This does not play or feel like any other game, but the gamer can make it feel like a Mario game, or a Zelda game. They determine the pace of play. I also think this is the best-looking Wii game ever. I think graphically it hits a bar that the best Disney stuff has to hit. I think that will appeal to people. At the end of the day, Disney fans and non-Disney fans alike will come away with a greater appreciation of Disney’s creative heritage.”
Epic Mickey has quite a bit of competition. The Metroid Prime titles looked fantastic, Kirby is artistically beautiful, and then there are the Galaxy games. I’m not ready to crown Epic Mickey the best looking Wii title just yet, but it does look very nice.

Miyamoto talks all about Mario, feels a lot of people at Nintendo get Mario, still wants to be around in 25 years, much more

Miyamoto on whether he thinks about his legacy and the things he’s done before when making new games…
“I don’t really think of things in terms of legacy or where I stand in the history of Nintendo or anything like that. The important thing for us is to make sure that we’re having fun in our job.
So I really try to focus on, again, not only myself enjoying what I’m doing, but looking at my staff, and making sure that they’re having fun in their jobs as well.
Especially when you’re working on a series, there are times when you’re doing some repetitions, some work that maybe you’ve done before. You really want to make sure that the people working on it are approaching the project in a way that they’re not getting bored or frustrated, and that they’re thinking of new things and new twists and new appeals. That’s something we look at as well.”
