<p>Apologies to fans of the XBox 360, Playstation 3, Pong, and all those other platforms that the kids are so wild about these days (except the Nintendo Wii). It looks as though the highly-anticipated &#8220;Epic Mickey&#8221; game will only be available on the Wii.</p>
<p>The game&#8217;s designer, Warren Spector, <a href="http://www.kotaku.com.au/2009/10/no-other-platforms-planned-for-disney-epic-mickey/" target="_blank">spoke</a> with Official Nintendo Magazine and made it very clear that Epic Mickey would be a Wii-only experience. Originally the game was intended to be multi-platform, but after a series of high-level talks in the virtual reality chamber (which is where video game execs break bread, I presume), the game&#8217;s one-system fate was decided.</p>
<p><span>&#8220;They walked away from three other platforms,&#8221; Spector told the magazine. &#8220;No other publisher on the planet would have done that. It was a magic moment for me. No-one has even mentioned other formats since that point.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span>For those unfamiliar with the game, Epic Mickey is <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epic_Mickey" target="_blank">described</a> as &#8220;</span>a &#8217;surrealistically bizarre&#8217; look at Disney characters and locations in a steampunk environment.&#8221; Basically, Mickey fights Disney mutants in a post-apocaylptic universe (think Steamboat Willie meets Bladerunner). The game is set to be released in 2010, as long as the real apocalypse hasn&#8217;t consumed us by that time.</p>
<p>And apologies once again to XBox fanatics.</p>
