why is epic mickey 1 not on steam?

[Rexic The King]

seems odd to have the second game and not the first

[Victoria]

Because it's on the Dolphin emulator. Why would it need to be on Steam?

[!Supreme Grand Wizard Yoodiv]

I came here looking for it on Steam too.

[uVSthem]

The only reason I haven't bought Epic Mickey 2 is because I want to play the 1st one. Since I cannot buy it on Steam I'll play it in Dolphin and then play the sequel on Steam.

epic mickey 1 is based around wii controlls while epic mickey 2 was released on other consoles and is therefore easier to port.

The reason is that the studio behind 1 was shutdown shortly after 2's release.
Disney screwed over so many fans and Employees, of this franchise.

Weird Disney doesnt own the license to their own character mickey mouse and someone else does. Hope someday they can buy epic mickey 1 and put it on steam for all the disney fans.

They don't own Oswald. Also, doesn't not putting it on Steam contradict why it was made? (other than to make money) PSS: Epic Mickey 1 is not a Wii exclusive anymore.

I hope for a port of part 1 with Steam Achievements/ Trading Cards <3

Actually Oswald went back to Disney in 2006. Theres a interesting story about it here: https://www.inverse.com/article/12582-walt-disney-s-weird-buddy-what-happened-to-oswald-the-lucky-rabbit . Pretty sad when you think about it, oswald got shut down by universal studios, then he went back to disney and got shut down again in epic disney by disney.

Yeah, this is almost certainlly the reason why. The second game already has regular controller support-and higher quality art assets for that matter. They'd have to put a lot more work in to the first one.

Considering the "quality" of the two games...

The 3DS Epic Mickey is actually good though. It's by the developer that did Monster Tale...I hope they're doing all right, as both games are really good. Hell, it LOOKS way better than the Junction Point Epic Mickey's...

[Wolfpup3]
