....will fool no one.
"MUSHROOM KINGDOM HEARTS: THE ULTIMATE FANBOY PIPE DREAM"
Admit it--the original idea for Kingdom Hearts was absolutely absurd. A role-playing game featuring characters from Final Fantasy and Disney? Hell, that's about as asinine as combining Legos and Star Wars (wait--scratch that). But the only dumb ones were the ones who doubted it'd work--the unlikely combination actually touched a helluva lot of gamers' hearts. So now that we're used to seeing Mickey Mouse and the rest of his cartoon clowns muck it up with the Final Fantasy crew, we thought we'd seen the last of these oddball pairings. Boy, were we wrong--published Square Enix is ramping up a radically new Kingdom Hearts sequel....only this game isn't set in under the sea, but rather under the pipes of the Mushroom Kingdom. We don't know much of the juicy deets right now (all Square Enix gave us was this early logo) but we were able to squeeze out some helpful intel. First off, Mushroom Kingdom Hearts is a Wii exclusive and will feature a cast of over 41 Nintendo characters. Not only that, but it will also feature Sora, Mickey, and a flock of other favorites from the first two Kingdom Hearts. And as far as the story goes, all we know is Mario will get his hands (and feet) dirty hammering down on the Heartless...oh, and apparently some princess needs saving, too.
If you were hoping for another "Sonic and Tails in SSBM" incident, you'll have to hope for next year. I can't see anyone falling for this. I'd buy it if it existed, though. "Mario vs. Sephiroth" would be interesting.
