Of course, Disney wanted this out since it not only extremely grim but would kill the character they JUST got the rights back to.

[@absolite6]

@@randtastik Oswald was originally going to be the villain. They then scrapped that and also had plans for him to be an anti-hero instead. That was then further changed to the Oswald we now know today. The resentful, fallen star who eventually warms up as the game progresses. I'm glad they went with this instead as it just seems more fitting for him. Bitter but not evil. His story in the game in general was pretty much perfect.

[@samuelgarza2466]

The original concept for EM1 Oswald was even referenced in the Diorama section of Epic Mickey 2, by A.B.E. The blot-Oswald amalgamation was dubbed "Storm Blot", and was considered to be the Shadow Blot's most powerful form. This is true if you look at the concept art of the Storm Blot penetrating Wasteland's sky, abducting beloved characters such as the Genie.

That's what _every_ company does when a game doesn't do so well. If the game doesn't do well, its not all that worth investing in. As cool as the concept of Epic Mickey is, it makes sense why it got cancelled, as the gameplay is one of the most important aspects of a _game._ This isn't one of those "Disney's so evil and greedy" moments this is a "the game flopped because people didn't enjoy playing it" moment. Take the Pikmin franchise for example... the game didn't sell as well as other game franchises, but it _always_ gets really good review scores because the gameplay is enjoyable and well executed. The series only gets 1 new game every 5 years or so, but if the franchise got as bad of reviews as Epic Mickey it wouldn't still be around. Don't get me wrong... I love the concept behind Epic Mickey, but the gameplay was _really_ not all that great.

My parents don’t often buy me video games, so I STARTED the series with the second game (which they bought to allude to our upcoming Disneyland trip), and I don’t know if it was simply the sheer excitement of a new video game combined with that of a trip to Disneyland, but I LOVED Epic Mickey 2. Of course, it has its flaws. In the Junkyard or whatever that level’s called, Oswald is supposed to offer to throw you up onto a ledge, but on ONE SPECIFIC SAVE FILE HE NEVER OFFERS (the same thing also happens in Mean Street South, where you’re supposed to get thrown onto a clock), and the alternate path out of the level involved keeping Invisible Ink on long enough to pass a camera that would shut the door to the exit if it saw you. Needless to say, the ink ALWAYS wore off before I could get past the camera. I beat it flawlessly on a second save file though. The postgame is rather simple in that there isn’t one, aside from wrapping up all the quests you haven’t so far. I think really it was just the appeal of bending reality to my will that appealed to my 11 year old brain, LMAO. Anyways, point is, this is a very good review that I’d be hard pressed to argue with.

I also grew up with this franchise and I would at least call it innovative. I remember looking at old Disney cartoons and wishing something like that was made again since I as getting kinda tired of all the CGI animations that were being made. When this game was announced, it felt almost like a blast from the past, but still reimagined as a game for older audiences. Disney were testing the grounds of stuff for more mature audiences (besides the 7 and 8 year olds that watched Mickey Mouse Clubhouse), and I give them credit for that. As you said, a lot of love and passion went into this game. I got this game on my 10th or 11th birthday, around the time it came out. I loved diving into that game's lore and art. It inspired me to follow art and go to an arts school. I remember some of the concept art for this game giving me chills, and I wasn't expecting that for a Disney game. It surprised me in a pleasant way. Though I do stand by something you also said: the gameplay was tricky at times. I never really felt bored with the paintbrush mechanic but the camera angles were very annoying at times. I didn't really bothered to buy the 2nd game since I didn't really had an X-Box, or a Playstation 3... or any console at all that could read the game XD, but I did look up gameplay and what the game was about. I liked it, but it was a big "meh" compared to the original one. I still think the 1st game was a big shot in the dark that actually worked pretty well for what it lasted! I don't know if I would call it epic but it was certainly a very interesting experience and take on this franchise usually targeted at young kids.

@@Shoulderpads-mcgee Ok what the ever living *fuck* did I just watch. I have many questions, most of them I don't want answered. Is all of Kingdom Hearts like this, cause I kinda wanna watch more cutscenes with no context.

[@Shoulderpads-mcgee]

Call Me K kingdom hearts is wild! If you actually get into it, theres actual substance and really good emotional storytelling and characters but it’s coated like an m&m in batshit insanity. If you want to see more there are some good compilations in the “kingdom hearts with no context” genre and “this is why I can’t show kingdom hearts to my friends” is the name of a few other good videos that perfectly alienate clips

I absolutely love this review. Lots of people only focus on the bad or good of the franchise, whereas this review really points out what is good and bad about the games. I didn’t realise how ignorant I was of reviews of the epic mickey series pouring scorn on people who said the games weren’t great, but in all reality I never looked at the bad because of my nostalgia. I really like this review also because it highlights the wonderful care and attention that was put in on the tiny details around the map which is really the only reason I liked the first game. Thanks for such a great review

Same in a way one day I woke up and was like “hey what was that mickey game again I wanna try it”

[@JDaTopo]

Since everyone is sharing facts guess I’ll share one: Disney only created the first game as a Wii exclusive because at the time, the Wii was the latest Nintendo console. And Disney didn’t want to develop a stunning game for PS3 and X360 and then have a watered down port for the Wii due to GPU limits. So they decided to just make a Wii exclusive so that the Wii wasn’t the bootleg version. In my opinion, that was a stupid decision for them to make but ig. I think Disney could’ve gone much farther with the game if they had developed it for the more powerful systems, especially with the soundtrack. (Btw, the soundtrack for the game is underrated.)

[@FoxUnitNell]

And with no nintendo developed games on the other consoles, Epic Mickey would have had a more barren market for child targeted games on the other consoles.

[@JDaTopo]

Cory Moses what do you mean by “with no Nintendo developed games”

[@JDaTopo]

Grey Dragon It would work like how it works in the second game. You would use the right stick to aim the cursor around.

[@Treetops27]

The audience for 3d platformers wasn't on the other systems.

[@JDaTopo]

Treetops The target demographic was mostly kids. And 3D platforms are really popular for kids. And I as a kid, owned a PS3 since it’s launch. And I played a lot of 3D platformers on the PS3.

[@johannesnylund8985]

I had an epic Mickey comic as a kid, i honestly has no idea it was based on the game. It was exactly the same story and all but the artstyle was even more edgier. I loved it very much, but since i dont think 9 year old me was a particular good critic, i dont know if i should recomend it.
