Wait. Old forgotten characters, taking their revenge?

How many of these guys do you think'll be in there?

I wouldn't be suprised to see Donald or Scrooge in there. I doubt the rest of them will make it in.

I was thinking something more along the lines of swarming zombie herd.

Either would be cool to fight.

I wonder if you can draw anvils in this game and drop them on people.

It's an epic game. You draw A-bombs.

The main enemy of the game (not counting the rabbit) is the Phantom Blot.

My hope is renewed.

That, I believe, is what people call "flip-flopping".

But still, hearing that the Phantom Blot was going to be a major part of this game did get me excited as well. More than anything else.

I remember Gus Goose. There was this one cartoon where he visited Donald and he ate him out of house and home.

Hmm... the first time I see Scrooge Mcducks real name. Didn't ever think he would sound like this, as his german name is "Dagobert Duck".

Anyways... this is getting pretty interesting. I just hope the game will be good, and won't get us all hyped up now, and when it's released it was just some generic stuff again, leaving us even more dissapointed

Looks nice.

Here's a history of Mickey Mouse, for those of you not well-versed in that subject:

http://gameinformer.com/games/disney_ep ... mouse.aspx

It gives some hints about who will be in the game as well. Like the Mad Doctor from the 1933 cartoon of the same name. I remember that guy from another Mickey Mouse video game, Mickey Mania.

Sorry for the double post, but here's a MAJOR update on this game, including stuff from Game Informer:

http://www.gonintendo.com/viewstory.php?id=100611

The characters and ideas all look cool and interesting, including seeing Pete in there, but apparently, the story isn't exactly what EuroGamer made it out to be - that is, instead of Oswald unleashing the Phantom Blot on Mickey's world, Mickey accidentally unleashes the Phantom Blot on Oswald's world. Mickey returns to this word and is captured by the Mad Doctor, from the 1933 cartoon of the same name. He escapes and then... Well, it's kind of up to you from there.

Yes, it seems this game, like many others before it, has this whole "moral choice" theme where you can either act like a good hero or an evil jerk. No offense to the guys making it, but this idea has been played out so many times, it's actually ridiculous to see it here. But then again, I think they were trying to play to how Mickey used to be. I mean, have any of you actually seen Steamboat Willie? He was kind of a bastard, mostly due to abusing animals. In a way, he's kind of like what Donald Duck basically is now, so I guess they wanted to incorporate that into this game. Still, you can choose to be a good Mickey or a bad Mickey, though it's yet to be seen if things can only go either way.

Wasn't the Mad Doctor just a dream? Oh well.

But ... it's by Warren Spector. He made Deus Ex. We know he can pull stuff like this off successfully.

Are there any bigger versions of those scans?
