I first heard about a possible "Steam punk" Disney game for the Wii a while back, but didn't think anything of it, thinking it was just rumors, but apparently it's true. The upcoming game "Epic Mickey" takes place in a dystopian world where all the forgotten Disney characters and even amusement park rides end up. Apparently from what has been leaked so far, these forgotten characters have grown tired of living in the shadows and invade Mickey's world, spreading a viscous black goo where ever they go. The player, as Mickey, will have to make use of the Wii-mote controls to use paint thinner, erasers, and paint to remove the goo.

The primary antagonist of the game is one Oswald the Rabbit, the first Disney cartoon character, who Disney only recently recovered he rights to in 2006, after losing them to Universal in 1929.

Hey everybody, Cadet here with your little piece of random trivia for today.

Did you know that early in the development process for the original Marvel Ultimate Alliance for the Wii, Activision wanted to include some Nintendo characters as an exclusive? However, apparently, Activiosn wanted this to be a surprise, and as such did up the concept art and made the character models for Link and Samus in secret, without telling Nintendo, and then revealed the characters to Nintendo, on the PS2 beta build of the game, using a PS2.

It would seem that Nintendo was not amused, and did not allow their IP to be used in the game, and all we have to show us what almost was is concept art and videos that have been leaked.
