Oswald the Lucky Rabbit is one misfortunate character. He was Disney's very first animated character. But due to a studio dispute, Disney replaced him with Mickey Mouse, who was a slightly altered version of Oswald. Poor Oswald was left in the shadows while Mickey basked in the glow of fame.
But now Oswald gets his first starring role in years, in the Wii game 'Epic Mickey'. In this he comes back as Mickey's half brother, trapped in the Cartoon Wasteland of Yen Sid's magic book.
I'm hoping this will give the creators of Kingdom Hearts an idea to add Oswald to a future Kingdom Hearts game. Here's my idea for a good scenario:
Maleficent arrives in the world of the Cartoon Wasteland, where she meets Oswald, the bitter half-brother of King Mickey. Feeding off of Oswald's bitterness, she grants him the ability to control the Heartless and create an army to march against King Mickey and take his kingdom.
Once they meet, they can have an epic brother vs brother battle.
Do you think Oswald should be in Kingdom Hearts? Comment about it?

Wishful Thinking: Remake of WolfChild
One of my favorite games on SegaCD was WolfChild. After replaying it recently I can see why this game wasn't popular; it has a thin story and difficult gameplay. But that doesn't deter my love for this game. I find the scifi-werewolf-action-platform game to be just as intriguing as it was when I first played it years ago.
I think this game should be given a second chance, with some alterations:
- Deeper Storyline and Plot -- Father gets kidnapped, son goes to save him. That's all well and good, but we live in an era where gamers demand substance. They want compelling characters and gripping plots... well I do at least...
- Different Modes -- The second level of this game, the jungle, was difficult and confusing to navigate, so I think it would be a good idea to add an easy mode for beginners.
- Cell-shaded Animation -- I'm hesitant to say add CGI cut-scenes, especially when the SegaCD version of the game had a very nice animated intro movie. They should remake the original intro, keeping it in the traditional American cell-style animation and making it less pixelly. I don't think a game like this would benefit from anime-styling.
- Extra Missions - Despite the difficulty of this game, its only five levels long. So to compensate, there should be extra missions added
