Legendary game designer Warren Spector was talking at the DICE convention in Las Vegas today, but didn't want to talk about his departure from Disney and the shuttering of his studio. He wanted to talk about the "graying of gaming" or at least about his journey though gaming. But the elephant is in the room, he said.
Junction Point creator Warren Spector wrote a heartfelt note about his studio's closure today.
Following rumors yesterday, Junction Point, the development studio behind Epic Mickey and its sequel, has shut down.

Junction Point—the development studio founded by legendary game designer Warren Spector and later acquired by Disney—made 2010's Epic Mickey all by themselves. That technologically ambitious and mostly pretty game came out exclusively on the Wii. But, now that Mickey and Oswald's next outing will be a multiplatform…

The Internet was abuzz today with rumors about a possible Epic Mickey 2 for Nintendo 3DS following a tweet from France's Nintendo Magazine yesterday afternoon.
CNBC reports that up to half of Disney's internal game development staff - think Epic Mickey and Junction Point - has been fired. And that's not including the 170 from last week.

Mickey Mouse is no Super Mario. He's the star of a more unusual kind of game on the Nintendo Wii, a game that starts poorly but finishes as one of the best hero stories of the year.
The second cutest epic for the Wii is coming to North America November 30, giving Mickey Mouse fans a chance to explore the morality of Disney's most famous mascot. Epic Mickey's newest trailer focuses on the epic-ness of it all.

According to Warren Spector, it isn't the story of Epic Mickey that's important; it's how you relate to the story.
Your journey into the Wasteland alongside Warren Spector's take on Mickey Mouse kicks off on November 30 in North America, if you have a Wii.

Any lingering doubts that Warren Spector's new Disney game Epic Mickey was bound for the Wii? Didn't think so. But if you're wondering if it will also be coming to, well, anything else, here's your unfortunate answer.

It should come as little surprise that Warren Spector and his Junction Point development studio have been working on Epic Mickey, a game half-revealed by rumor, concept art and sparse details. But now it's official.

Normally, we wouldn't pick at the edges of such a translucent title, but this one's super-interesting, so we're picking: CVG say they have some details on Warren Spector's Disney game.
So it looks like Warren Spector's Junction Point Studios are working on a Disney game code-named "Epic Mickey". The concept art looks amazing, but we still have questions. Like what platform is it for?
