Nintendo Wii: Pachter Believes Epic Mickey Will Come To PlayStation 3

Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter is extremely confident that Disney’s Wii exclusive Epic Mickey will also arrive on the Playstation 3.

“I’m sure Sony is talking to them right now, the problem is upscaling Epic Mickey because it’s not made in 1080p, it’s made for the Wii so I’m not sure they can go ahead and port the game,” said Pachter. “I think a lot of the gameplay mechanics would work but they’re going to have to build it from the ground up to make it work on PS3.”

“It will ultimately come there. Maybe they’ll do it as a Playstation Network game for a lot less money but they’ll have to wait a few years until the Wii version runs its course to get away with lower graphics.”

Nintendo Wii: Disney’s Epic Mickey Currently Staying Wii Exclusive

Epic Mickey lead designer Warren Spector has reiterated that Disney’s fantastic looking Epic Mickey is staying Wii exclusive, though the development studio could be swayed by Microsoft’s Kinect and Sony’s PlayStation Move.

“Before Move and Kinect I probably would have said no, because the game is built around gesturing. Now, however, there’s no reason technologically why we couldn’t. But that decision is really above my pay grade, ano one’s asked me for a port.”

So although the possibility still does exist (all that’s gotta happen is for someone to as him to do a port), Epic Mickey remains to be Wiixclusive for now. Not that he minds this limitation anyway.

“I’ve been a Nintendo fan, well, not as long as I’ve been a Disney fan, but a long time, and I’ve been pretty open about the fact that the Zelda games are some of my favorite of all time. So, we’re a Wii exclusive and I’m happy about that.”
