No Other Platforms Planned For Disney Epic Mickey... Anymore
Speaking with game designer Warren Spector earlier this week, he told Kotaku that Disney Epic Mickey is currently a one-platform game. That means that while it's headed for the Wii, there aren't even plans for a DS version. More »Alice In Wonderland's Mad Hatter Looks Down

The Princess and the Frog is the first Disney feature animated film with a black princess, which has a lot of people in a snit over racial stereotypes and social equality. More »Warren Spector Getting Mousy With "Epic Mickey"?
Game designer Warren Spector, of Thief, Deus Ex and System Shock fame, may have a new muse in Mickey Mouse. A report from Gamasutra says Spector's working on a "steampunk"-styled game currently codenamed Epic Mickey. More »Wall Street Journal To Disney: "Buy EA"
The Wall Street Journal has some advice — we're guessing unsolicited — for Walt Disney CEO Robert Iger: Maybe it's time to buy Electronic Arts. Why? Well, the price might be right (right now) given that EA's stock has taken a pretty serious hit lately, partly due to general economic turmoil and on second quarter corporate earnings from the Madden publisher that WSJ calls "disappointing."

Saying “peripheral-free” is like saying “castrated” when it comes to music games. Isn’t half the fun of playing Rock Band the plastic instruments? More »Ultimate Band on DS: Hannah Montana-less Good Times

Hands On With Ultimate Band: Disney's Peripheral-Free Band Game
Ultimate Band is Disney Interactive's answer to those people who want to have the music band game experience without the need for all of those expensive, room-filling peripherals that are required for titles like Rock Band and Guitar Hero World Tour. More »Disney Excavates Spectrobes 2 Details
Disney's Spectrobes for the Nintendo DS was a rather mediocre game, but it went on to ship over a million copies worldwide. Why? Marketing, marketing, marketing. Now Disney Interactive is readying the follow up, Spectrobes: Beyond the Portals, and hopefully this time around they've got a bit more substance to back things up. The sequel continues the story of Rallen and Jeena, this time around investigating the origin of mysterious portals that lead to other dimensions. For the first time, players will be able to control Jeena, using her tech skills to help solve puzzles. With new dimensions come new Spectrobes, a new three-dimensional perspective, new ways to battle and excavate, and an all-new online battle system utilizing Disney's DGamer community tool. Spectrobes is a neat concept that I'd really like to see fleshed out. Looks like that's exactly what Disney Interactive is doing. More »Pure Offroad Racing In Motion
