HOLY CRAP: I want to play Epic Mickey

Before I talk about Epic Mickey, this has been a good week for retro games. On Monday, they announced a sequel to one of my favorite games as a kid, Rocket Knight Adventures, called Rocket Knight. It's going to be released next year for the PSN and XBLA. That's going to be a first day buy for me. That's another awesome Sega Genesis game that I never beat as a kid, along with Castlevania: Bloodlines and Beyond Oasis (which I beat the other day).

Ryo Hazuki is going to be in the new Sonic and Sega All Star Racing game. I couldn't believe it when I read it this morning, but this shows that Sega hasn't forgotten about good ole Ryo. Could this mean a Shenmue sequel is in the works or is Sega just being teases? I really hope this isn't the last time we see Ryo.

Now, to Epic Mickey. I can't wait until Game Informer unveils it later this month. My main concern for the game is combat. Is Mickey going to whip out a Keyblade or is he going to use a paintbrush? I have really high hopes for this game, mainly because the main villain is an old school Disney character named Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. He's so old I really haven't heard of him. The fact that Disney is using an old villain to go against Mickey gets me all hyped up for this game. I just want to see or hear about some gameplay and I'll be good.

With my birthday coming up, (Monday) I'm about to get another game. Brutal Legend and MagnaCarta II both come out on the 13th and are both games I want to get, but, I'm only getting $100, and we all know games are $60 nowadays. I'm leaning more towards MC II, since I'm an RPG head and because I also want to have some money left over for Nostalgia when it comes out two weeks later. I'll probably wait for BL, since when I get my paycheck on the 20th, I REALLY want to get Borderlands. We'll see what happe s in the next couple of weeks.

Speaking of Nostalgia, I'm freaking swapped with DS games. I got Devil Survivor, OG Saga, Mario and Luigi 3, and Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. My friend is getting me Professor Layton 2 for my Bday and I'm getting Nostalgia on the 27th. Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks comes out on Dec. 7th, so that's my deadline for those 6 DS games. I'm almost done M&L3, but the other three I'm just getting started. Damn GameFly games, taking up my time.
