Epic Mickey Refuses to Admit Kingdom Hearts Exists
Maybe Epic Mickey will be great game, maybe it will be medicore. I don’t know. What I do know is that the game’s adamant refusal to admit that the Kingdom Hearts games even exist is driving me up the fucking wall. Seriously, watch this 5-minute interview with Warren Spector where he talks about how fucking wonderful he is for:
? Putting Mickey Mouse in a videogame!
? Bringing back forgotten Disney characters like Pete!
? Using the old black-and-white Disney cartoons as a game inspiration!
? Having a fucking Tron level!
? Coming up with the idea that these forgotten Disney characters have no hearts! Why, one might even say they’re Heartless!
KINGDOM HEARTS DID ALL THAT SHIT YEARS AGO, YOU DICKJAR. MAYBE — MAYBE YOU CAME UP WITH ALL THIS SHIT ON YOUR OWN, BUT AT LEAST ACKNOWLEDGE THERE’S BEEN ANOTHER FUCKING MICKEY GAME SINCE CASTLE OF ILLUSION. ASSHOLE.
