Rumor: Disney bringing new version of Epic Mickey to E3
Posted on May 31, 2010 by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Wii
There have been a few rumors here and there that Epic Mickey has received an overhaul of sorts and that the game’s visual appearance has changed quite a bit since it was announced last October. The retooling apparently comes as a result of backlash from fans. Concept images were leaked prior to the title’s official reveal, but Epic Mickey’s in-game graphics disappointed fans as they failed to live up to the hype created by the impressive art.
A few weeks ago, the IGN Nintendo Voice Chat crew said that Junction Point Studios has been redeveloping certain aspects of the title, which backed up the initial speculation. Even though most of what has been said about Epic Mickey recently should be considered gossip for now, a confirmation may be on the horizon. E3 is a little over two weeks away, and rumor has it that Disney will be showcasing the updated build of the game at the event. Considering it’s the biggest gaming event of the year, it would be a wise choice to show off the game’s new look at the trade show.
