Epic Mickey

An advance-release cinematic just means we get to laugh at Mickey sooner. And we do.

That was a really shitty cut-scene, but Graham and Paul made it bearable. Thanks.

Also, WHERE is the "Let's Play" Graham was announcing? It's great knowing the time, but... where do I point my browser?

I'm actually pretty excited for this game to come out. That said, the cut scene was a little lacking, but I really enjoyed Graham and Paul's take on it.

Also, loving Paul as a Luma. So sweet!

I feel bad for Mickey.
That being said, the Silence of the Lambs, and the CSI bit were just golden. I'm sure atleast someone would think "Wow, Mickey musta had some weird tar fetish" or somethin. xD
Nice job guys. ^_^

But... the ear thing dates back to Steamboat Willie! Hell, when programming Kingdom Hearts, it was apparently the hardest thing to do!

Anyway, loved it! Yet I still want the game...

I will honestly be interested in how this game turns out.

I can't help but think it's either going to be a fun little game or just another churned out title, made for a quick buck.

I do hope it's good as I too have fond memorys of Mickey, but we'll just have to wait and see.

I just watched Silence of the Lambs this past weekend, so the reference totally blew me away. Are any of you going to get epic mickey when it comes out?

Based on what I saw at Nintendo's E3 presentation, this looks like a pretty solid platformer. What will make or break it would probably be the scale, as right now I have no idea how long the game is. But it looks promising, and definitely not just put together for a quick buck.
