This must be coming to other platforms too. I find it hard to believe that THQ Nordic (ie The Embracer Group) would not bring this to other platforms too. They certainly need the money. Unless this is a rights issue.

Loved that game back in the day. Stupidly difficult though.

 

[ResurrectedContrarian]

Anecdotally, I hated the original Epic Mickey. I remember grabbing it from a bargain bin in the Wii days, and even with 2 kids and a Disney-obsessed wife... no one in the house found it interesting enough to make it more than an hour from the intro. Something was incredibly boring about the execution.

 

[Saber]

I heard alot of good things about this game, even though the sequel was garbage.
Gonna keep my eye on it for now. Not entirelly convinced this game is as good as people played.

 

[Salz01]

The gameplay looked choppy as all hell.

 

[Power Pro]

Epic Mikey got a good laugh out of me

 

[Kabelly]

Man I knew the graphics in the very beginning were CGI but it'd be so cool if that was how it looked for the other platforms it probably will release on.

 

[Windle Poons]

Mike's of the world unite for you are epic.

So Rebrushed is a new way of saying remastered?

Probably. This fits with naming pattern THQ Nordic is using for remasters they release. They released stuff like Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning, Red Faction: Guerilla Remarstered, Darksiders: Warmastered Edition, Darksiders II: Deathinive Edition, etc

I really enjoyed Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two on PC with the only real issue being that it was locked to 30 fps.

Very interested in this if it is a remake of the Wii exclusive original.

I remember at one point wanting to replay it and discovering it's 30fps, completely put me off. Then I looked for 60fps mod, but then I saw some people mentioning it breaks the physics. Don't think pc even had the split-screen.

Simply a bad port.

This game missed its moment of glory...

It was supposedly an ambitious project for the Wii console, but it only got moderate to good reviews, nothing extraordinary, but its time has passed... not many people would buy it.

 

[Agent_4Seven]

THQ, are you seriously making this remake only for outdated POS hardware? This game better be coming to other platforms as well.

It's comming to other platforms. From press release:

THQ Nordic today announced that Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed, a faithful remake of the beloved classic adventure, is being developed by Purple Lamp in collaboration with Disney Games. The development team was assisted in the remaster by Warren Spector, director of the original Disney Epic Mickey. In this classic action-adventure game, players will send Mickey Mouse, armed with a magical paintbrush, on an epic creative journey to brave the dangerous world of Wasteland. Through exciting levels inspired by classic Disney stories, players will paint their path and face a variety of challenges along the way. Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed is scheduled for release across PS4™, PS5™, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo® Switch and PC in 2024.

Somehow I just brush this off, even though I remember liking the game back in the day.

 

[Chuck Berry]

Tried my damndest to enjoy the original on the Wii but you couldnt invert the controls or camera so it ruined the experience super quick

If Rebrushed fixes this then Im on board for sure to give it a fair shot.

Remember that early concept art

I played the heck out of this on Wii, but preferred the Xbox 360 version because of the controls. I would love to get this on Xbox so I could use non-motion controls.
Edit: This just popped up on the Xbox channel:

 

[Robb]

Game wasn't all that great imo.

Remember that early concept art

That concept art was easily the best thing about this game. Too bad they didn't dare to go that dark, would've been very interesting to see that kind of spin on it. Nightmare fuel.

 

[existensmaximum]

The original game was fun but flawed on the Wii. The motion controls certainly didn't do it any favors, looking forward to seeing how this remaster plays!

 

[ahtlas7]

THQ had the rights to this? Happy it didn't get cancelled.
