Graham Hopper, Disney Interactive's general manager, sat down with Gamasutra to discuss the Wii, kids games, grown up games, movies, Squeenix, Kingdom Hearts, and all sorts of other stuff in an interesting mishmash of grown up gaming concerns and child's play. Disney's had a hand in the gaming world for quite some time, though they've shifted from licensing to producing, and have been beefing up their portfolio with studio acquisitions and new relationships.

It looks absolutely swell: the animations are smooth, the art style appropriately bobble-headed, the synonymous battle theme swells underneath a cliched battle between pixy and goblin. Unfortunately, I just don't like Final Fantasy. Better start learning, though, I guess... I don't see any other Triple A, or even Triple D, RPGs on the DS horizon. Florian Eckhardt More »
