The game will be fully unveiled in the next issue. Nintendo Wii exclusive, with a release date of 2010.

So far not newsworthy for CG Talk, but the following snippet (http://junctionpoint.wordpress.com/2008/07/13/im-ba-ack/), posted when the project was still secret, makes it.

My team and I have been working hard on our own and (get ready for the cool factor to go way up) in collaboration with folks from Disney Feature Animation and Pixar. If I say anymore, I’ll get in trouble, so let’s just leave it at that.

Uuh, that looks interesting. I'd love to see Mickey coming back, with character. I hope they can add some spice into it.

When i first saw the news and it said "Epic Mickey", the first thing that popped into my head was Mickey holding a chainsaw and Gears of War like graphics :)

This could be really damn cool! If Kingdom Hearts has showed up, you can make a decent game using Disney's characters. Also, don't forget they own Marvel now... maybe they can get someone to write them a more mature storyline (not mature as in 18+).

First details by Eurogamer, more at the link.

Epic Mickey is a tale about the 'forgotten' Disney stars: the rides, the characters, the lesser-known cartoons.

This forgotten world is run by Oswald the Rabbit. He was Disney's first creation, made long before Mickey Mouse, and his jealousy of the newcomer has fermented for years. Now, finally, Oswald is ready for revenge.

He unleashes The Phantom Blot to wipe out Mickey and his cartoon world. The Blot pollutes the Disney universe with sticky black ink that makes colours run and fade (as seen on the Game Informer cover), so it's up to Mickey to restore peace and order.
