Warren Spector has his plate full, currently putting the finishing touches on this fall’s Disney Epic Mickey for Wii. But that doesn’t stop the mastermind from planning future projects. Aside from ideas for two additional titles in the Epic Mickey series (depending on sales, of course) Spector has his sights set on another Disney property; DuckTales — “woo, hoo.”
Here’s an exerpt from a recent interview between IndustryGamers.com and Spector about his love for all things Duck.
A day does not go by where I don’t tell somebody at Disney: “Gimme the ducks. Gimme the ducks! Uncle Scrooge, come on! Donald! Huey, Dewey, and Louie! Come on, let me do a duck game!” So yeah, I would love to do a duck game. Uncle Scrooge is the coolest character, you know? He was Indiana Jones before Steven Spielberg was a gleam in his mother’s eye, you know? I mean, come on. He’s a great character. Those Ducktales cartoons were based on comic books and about half of them were based on comic books by a guy named Carl Barks who… I mean I love the Ducktales TV show; the comic books were even better. Carl Barks was the best comic books artist and storyteller ever, and I would love to bring some of his work to life in games.
Considering the Duck clan hasn’t bathed in the lime light, in their own adventure, since Capcom’s DuckTales 2 in 1993, I’d say it’s about freakin’ time. And based on how incredible Epic Mickey has turned out, I’d say Spector is the man for the job.
