Epic Mickey could have been a PC game

For the past few weeks we have been learning more about Epic Mickey, the upcoming Wii exclusive RPG that's being developer at Warren Spector's Junction Point Studios. Yet the man behind the Thief and Deus Ex series said that the game actually started out a a PC game (alongside the Xbox 360 and PS3 consoles).

So what happened? According to a chat with Spector at the Official Nintendo Magazine he didn't want to make a Wii port that wouldn't be as good as the other versions. He would also like to concentrate on one platform. The solution turned out to be simple. Just make the game for the Wii and the Wii only. Still, it will be great when and if Spector decides to return to PC game making. One can only hope.
