No idea. The biggest Nintendo fanboy in 2Chan (who gives tidbits about various 1st party games) said something about it, but nobody was interested enough to translate it.
Hyrule, the Mushroom Kingdom, Zebes, Kanto, Lylat, DK Isle, Yoshi's Island, some kingdom from Fire Emblem, the Pikmin planet, Wario Land, Mute City...
Add the KH setting, a guest character in every world and the Disney worlds on top of that, and what do you get? The motherfucking greatest game of all time.
Maybe some settings from Mother as well? But yeah, the universe isn't that kind, especially with regards to that series.
In my opinion, a game like you're describing would work a lot better if Nintendo made it themselves and just left KH and Disney characters out of it entirely. The number of Nintendo franchises is vast enough that you wouldn't need anything else to string it all together.
Here's a pitch for the greatest game that will never happen:
The Chronicles of Captain N
Using an action-RPG base similar to Kingdom Hearts, players take control of Captain N as he lands in the Mushroom Kingdom and must traverse countless Nintendo worlds to return balance and save seven pure souls stolen by the dark forces. (Pure souls stolen: Peach, Luigi, Nana, Palutena, Jennifer, Zelda, Micaiah)
Players travel from world to world by jumping into paintings found in the various environments. The primary HUB for this world will be located in the heart of the Mushroom Kingdom, Princess Peach's castle.
While the starting party will consist merely of Captain N, Mario (who carries a hefty dose of Fire magic), and Daisy (with the ability to summon other game characters in to help) it will eventually grow to encompass many Nintendo characters. There will be no "guest" character bullshit. People like Det. Stevenson will join your party and stay in, while some like Pit or Starman or will hop in and out as the story progresses.
In addition to the myriad standard and individualized magical attacks (such as Popo's ice magic or Pikachu's electric attacks) different party setups will allow for specialized double and triple-team maneuvers. Little Mac and Captain Falcon delivering a hefty one-two punch to bigger bad guys or Ness home-running a morphballed Samus right into Zulie's mouth to deliver a finishing blow of epic proportions.
Not only will the most renowned heroes and the most feared villains of Nintendodom face each other, but even lesser known character will get the opportunity to present themselves. As Captain N, Det. Stevenson, and Ike exit a cave with one of the needed Black Panther Diamonds, they are ambushed by the one and only Mach Rider, and now face the fight of their lives.
So all we got was more of the same and "Pikmin 3 exists" at this secret thing.
Ace.
Waverace Wii
cough
now with free throw frisbee dog gets it game included!
I have faith that the water handling dynamics will be excellent. Course selection, however? It's basically going to be Waverace except only with Dolphin Park.
A proper Waverace, however, using the throttle-style controls and the Balance Board, that's what we need.
There's enough coming out for the Wii that keeps me interested in having the console though. Its just that Nintendo's offerings were unexciting for the most part.
Yep, a new Wave Race is the next 'thing I want most from Nintendo' now that a new Pikmin is confirmed, but if the WSR Jet Ski section is as good as they say it is, I think I can live with waiting a bit longer for it.
Also, the little new AC:CF tidbits really sold me on that game. Which is a mixed blessing, really, since I could very well end up never playing another Wii game ever again! I was thinking I'd skip this, but it really does sound like the perfect mix of the best qualities of the original and Wild World, and damned if I can resist that.
...Wii Speak is still the stupidest idea ever, though.

Gametrailers have an interview with the horrible lady of the Nintendo conference up on their site: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/36819.html
It doesn't really talk about anything new, but I thought I'd post it anyway.
I'm not even thinking about Nintendo worlds in KH3. Just Square and Disney worlds on the Wii would sell like crazy.
But Hyrule? Having a party of Sora, Goofy and fucking Link? Yes, I would shit myself.
B-but Link would have to (gasp, choke) speak. And that's just beyond Nintendo's pervue. Let's make Link a fucking mute because we're apparently too cheap to spend some of the billions of dollars we make on decent production values and good voice actors. Oh, and someone who can write dialogue that doesn't make everyone sound like they have downs syndrome complicated by brain AIDS.
I think ultimately what we all want is a big-budget revival of Super Mario RPG. And I have no problem with that, so long as Nintendo has some balls and spends its money on it.

ugh, it's never been about money. it's an out-moded design choice that they have yet to remedy. And i'm just talking about not having VA in general. the silent or mostly silent protagonist is still done in some other current games, and it's always a design choice, not a budget cutback.

How does GTA appeal to the core gamers? Core /=/ old people that want to kill people.
an S-E rep recently stated that we should wait for TGS for FF:CC news. something about the game being more "relevant" to the japanese market or something
Hope for DQ9? I mean, DQ4DS came out months ahead of FF4 in japan, yet we're getting FF4 next week and DQ4 all the way at the end of the year :x
Supposedly, SE has announced that all future FF/DQ releases will be simultaneous. But who knows?

What? Releasing DQ and FF games at the same time? I can't imagine that's smart from a public safety factor. Unless I'm reading that wrong.

I like how the first game she's ever played through is Professor Layton.
That came out this year.
I really love how we have somebody who loves games as much as we do telling us about them.
Nintembo is not discriminating. It holds captive both great and small, first-party and third.
Yeah. The reason I listed ED and Geist is because these had the same kind of hype and expectations as Disaster does. Little-known Nintendo 2nd party, mature aesthetic, "sleeper cult classic" written all over it, etc.
YEAH I LIKED GEIST OKAY?
Shit yes, Geist was great. My favorite console shooter.

Where's my Excite Truck 2? The one with the course designer, worthwhile multiplayer and balance-board compatibility for tricks?

Layton was the first game I have ever completed...
...Kirby is always fun
I am unconvinced that she has ever played a previous kirby game.
Edit: Not because kirby isn't fun, I love the hell out of kirby, but if that's the first game she has ever completed I really can't see her having played any kirby games.

Of course, after that, they really really liked the final game:

Something just ocurred to me: Maybe they didn't want to pre-empt Nintendo Power's cover story next month (or this month, whatever, the thing with the sword). Anybody know when that comes out?

Whatever it is, it's not going to be anything special. Everyone likes to get their hopes up because then when it's no big deal they get to piss and moan about Nintendo.
So don't anticipate anything, because I think whether you like Nintendo games or not we've all had enough of the complaining.

Too bad it's surrounded by that game.
Japanese distributors did play it few months ago.
That's why they invented youtube.
was it great?
or was it...a disaster?

There are quite a few protagonists out there who would be improved enormously if they just shut up.
