Long story short, I got a second hand wii thanks to my bro, who helped me buy it, and then I went out and bought Epic Mickey second hand because Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 were way too expensive (even preowned, I heard publishers were trying to stop second hand game sales). I also had to buy a second hand nunchuk controller because the wii didn't come with one.

So I've played through Epic Mickey a little bit, I guess preparing for its sequel. After a while I realized that it's better to place the wii motion sensor bar at the bottom of the TV screen than the top, because I was practically craning my arm up to get sloppy motion control accuracy.

I don't know if I've gotten a bad nunchuk controller or if it's the game, but when you press the C button on the nunchuk controller, the camera is supposed to point at Mickey's back, so you see everything in front of Mickey. A lot of the times when I press the C button nothing happens (and I wind up seeing where I've been instead of where I'm going). Sometimes this camera control works, and sometimes it doesn't. Hopefully there's nothing wrong with my controller.

Also I had no idea this game had mechanics where you can make choices which will lead to different consequences and events in the game. I'm not used to that, and I screwed up one of the quests. (Personally I thought it would make more sense if you were playing this game as modern day Mickey, just to show how much time has passed in the story...Or even better, if modern Mickey was unlockable)
