Update- "Epic Mickey" game is real
Months ago, awesome and creepy concept art for a game called Epic Mickey was posted but no word on if the game was even green-lit. This month, Game Informer is confirming it.

Edit: While it doesn't confirm the platform, someone on the forum pointed out that in the photos of the About section of Junction Point's (the game developer) site, the Wiimote/Nunchuck combo make appearances.

Yay! Now hopefully it will be on either the XBOX360 or the wii so I can actually play it.

Pat of me is screaming "MY CHILDHOOD! SHE BURNS!" Part of me is intrigued by "Kingdom Hearts as written by Neal Stephenson with help from Tim Burton and Jim Henson". Part of me is squeeing like a 4th grader at a Hannah Montana concert.

The rest of me is wondering how the Wii is gonna handle those OMG Fucking lush graphics.

*hands over what's left of her mortal soul to Disney and Nintendo* Just hurry up and release it. My soul's still good for a hat rack.

Sounds cool, I just hope it will have a better title...

I think it will. "Epic Mickey" screams placeholder title.

but no word on if the game was even green-lit.

Huh; I thought this was a done deal months ago. When I saw the "Epic Mickey" art, I flashbacked to this interview:

This studio debut, no longer an original, episodic adventure to be delivered via Steam, is such a fiercely guarded secret that even this notorious motormouth is keeping schtum. All the juicy details must be itching at the back of his throat, but not once during a fast-flowing Q&A does he scratch. The closest we get to a reveal is that it’s a “licensed game”, and that despite a vocal desire to tackle Disney properties X, Y and Z, instead he was given Q. “Which was cool,” he adds. “It’s a challenge.”

Seems there was a platform change, but after seeing that concept art, there was no doubt in my mind that Q was Mickey Mouse.

Which does beg the question of who X, Y, and Z were.

It does say later on in the interview that the main property Warren Spector wanted to work with was Carl Barks' comics. Being a Barks fan, I hope the Mickey game does well enough that he'll get the chance to make a totally awesome Donald and/or Scrooge one as his follow-up (and I'll be checking out the Mickey one as well, of course).

Something just occurred to me.

I had heard, and this was only rumor about a Kingdom Hearts 3. This doesn't sound at all like its connected, so part of me is wondering if there was a fallout with Squeenix. Which would annoy the everloving hell out of me, because I want to know what Mickey said to the protagonists at the end of KH2, goddamn it.

Still stoked about "Epic Mickey" (thank god that's just a codename), but I'm bit alarmed now.

I read that the game Kingdom Hearts: Coded is a direct sequel to KH2. I'm not surprised because Squeenix loves doing that with this series. (KH1-358/2 Days-Chain of Memories-KH2)
