Warren Spector Already Has Ideas for Epic Mickey 2

Famous games designer Warren Spector, the head of Junction Point studio, is already talking about the possibility of a sequel to his latest title, Epic Mickey, and said that he has quite a few ideas about where to take Disney's loveable mouse.

Epic Mickey was launched last year, exclusively for the Nintendo Wii, and even if it was hyped both by Spector and Disney, the title hasn't exactly sold as much as they expected, and reviews were a little mixed.

Still, that doesn't mean Spector isn't thinking about Epic Mickey 2, as he talked with Game Informer magazine and revealed that there are already a few ideas and game mechanics on the drawing board.

"As far as a second Epic Mickey game goes, there's no shortage of interesting challenges to tackle," he said.

"I have some ideas about music gameplay that could be fun and there's a world of stuff can do with paint and thinner that we couldn't even have thought of the first time around. Or we could do some stuff completely different and not to any of the stuff I've mentioned here. Who knows? There's no shortage of ideas."

Spector also teased about the possibility of Junction Point tackling another Disney series, and taking it in a new direction, much like it did with Epic Mickey.

"I've actually always envisioned Junction Point - well, once we became a part of Disney - as the studio that draws inspiration from the Archives," he said.

"I've been pretty up front about my love of the Ducks. I'd love to do a Duck Tales game, and a Gremlins game would be amazing. Oswald would make a great leading man ...er ... rabbit."

Epic Mickey was hyped as a gritty, noir-themed game, set to put a new spin on Disney's Mickey Mouse mascot.

Sadly, even if it was hyped before its release, it failed to impress many due to its very simple nature and the problematic camera system.

Instead of playing Mickey, we could play Oswald. One of the Disney characters could be in trouble and Oswald will have to save the character through time. Oswald will have to meet old characters and they will help Oswald through the journey. The monster that captured the character could be Pete. Pete wants to capture the character because Pete was an old character and there is a new character.

I have to admit, when I was inquiring about "Epic Mickey" @ my local Gaming store, the attendant gave me a horrible review, stopping me from purchasing it... BUT! and a big stress on the "BUT" a few months later I got another opinion

I would like to see Forte from Beauty and the Beast Enchanted Christmas in Epic Mickey 2 as his character fits the mood of the game and he's a pretty forgotten disney villain

I absolutely LOVED Epic Mickey which makes it kind of a disappointment to hear that it got mixed reviews. I instantly fell in love with the characters, old and new, and I thought the story line was creative, imaginative, and intriguing. My younger brother and I have both played the game and it was appropriate for both ages. (15 and 6) The graphics are amazing, the levels are challenging, and the background music will have you humming it for the rest of your life... I, myself, being a complete fanatic over anything and everything Disney, was shocked at how much this game only increased my love for Disney and everything it stands for. I went to Disneyland a couple months ago with my family and found myself extra excited and enthused over the rides that reminded me, and came up, in the Epic Mickey game. I was just about ready to pull out my paint and thinner and hop right into the game that has by far become my favorite! I assure you, any Disney lover that buys Epic Mickey will not be disappointed! Buy it! (:
