Disney’s Epic Mickey producer Raul Ramirez has told online gaming publication CVG that the critically acclaimed title pushes the Nintendo Wii to its ‘ultimate limit’.
“We do have such a great experienced staff at Junction Point that we were able to, as we feel, push the Wii to it’s capability and ultimate limit and provide a beautiful story for the player to jump into.”
“We are fortunate enough to have such great staff and we have a lot of years experience in the gaming community that they’ve just pushed the Wii to its capability, to its absolute max, in order to provide what you’re seeing in front of you.”
– Raul Ramirez, Disney
This is #2 on my most anticipated Nintendo games list;
1. Kirby Epic Yarn
2. Epic Mickey
3. Donkey Kong Country
i agree, but i personally think conduit 2 is pushing to wii to its COMPLETE if not more than complete limits, graphics are pushed to over max and so is the sound. i cannot wait for epic mickey, it should be an amazing surprise :)
I have nothing against this game, it looks great, but I don’t see how this game looks better than monster hunter or Other M…
Too bad wii fails….its “ultimate limits” are basically just a tiny but better than the original xbox. This game looks like itll suck. Mh3 looked great but it was very disappointing…conduit 2 is the only thing to look 4ward in wii i think. But nintendo worksmanship is always below that of microsoft, etc. Every nintendo system ive had broke after 1-2 yrs of use. And now the wii has been reduced to endless “fitness” video games(like wii fit, etc.), a compilation of simple and boring minigames, And little kids games. If there is a game for all 3 systems, the wiis is always s inferior(take james cameron’s avatar for example) and a lot of the games dont feel like they have depth or storylines.
Wha? What are you doing on a nintendo blog if you hate it so much? Get outttttttttt. We’re not here to start system wars. -_-
I don’t know what you are talking about. Woodie is the only reputable fitness game – all the others can go to he’ll as far as I am concerned. As for lifespan – I have bought every nintendo home console to date and they all still work – my snes is still playable.
I guess playing with ‘woodie’ is a great fitness game, lol
WTF wii fit not woodie…… With is wrong with iPod touch spellcheck????
Nowadays those limits aren’t hard to reach. They said the same thing about New Super Mario Bros. Wii and it was the reason no online play was possible.
Really, back then these specs weren’t excessively bad, but as time passes, this is playing more and more against Nintendo.
Wii fit kinda got boring. I personally liked games on wii and follow it but i was just disappointed how the wii turned out…lol “woodie”
wha?
what are you doing with your Nintendo systems? I still have the original NES and it still works like new. The same can be said about my SNES, N64, GAMECUBE.
Pffft, Monster Hunter Tri pushed the Wii to it’s limits, area 6 in the Tundra vs Barioth & Baggi’s anyone? Lag.
Dude… I have a ‘brick’ gameboy from 1989 and it still plays fine… my xbox got the RRoD immediately afer removing it from the packaging. =/.
All in all though, didn’t nintendo say that when they realize that there is something that their product can’t already do, that’s when they start gunning for a new one? So if they ever want to surpass this “epic mickey” than any advancement for the company is going to require a new platform. That is, unless they want to stay in the “cheap, party games that get old in 5 minutes” era.
I got a gamecube in the first year it came out and it broke in about 1.5-2 years. I got another one and it still works. I play it now because my wii broke and i got a new one on warranty and it broke too. So im frustrated with wii now >.>
