Epic Mickey started life as 360 title

Thursday 29-Oct-2009 9:48 AM Wii exclusive was once destined for Microsoft's platform, says developer.

Wii exclusive Epic Mickey started life as an Xbox 360 title.

"The reality is that we started Wii development in 2008," developer Warren Spector tells Official Nintendo Magazine, "but before that we were a PC, PS3, and 360 title."

There's no chance of it becoming a rare Wii-to-360 port either, as Spector adds "It needs to be its own game. A lot of the design ideas just won't work on the Wii, we need to give the Wii its dues."

If he was saying this when all we had was the concept art to go on, we would have been genuinely heart-broken, as the darker Disney direction looked phenomenal. Now the screenshots have emerged? It's a much easier pill to swallow. Still, are there any other Wii games you'd like to see make their way onto 360?
