The announcement of an Epic Mickey remake has Kingdom Hearts fans hoping that we might get a Wasteland world or cameo from Oswald in Kingdom Hearts 4.
The past few days have been full of surprises, from Xbox confirming which of its exclusives would be going multiplatform in the near future to Nintendo's Partner Showcase revealing games like the Star Wars Battlefront Classic Collection and a brand-new Endless Ocean game. As great as those announcements were, though, there was one that was particularly exciting for Disney fans - an Epic Mickey remake.

Not only do they think that a third Epic Mickey could happen if this remake sells well enough, but the emergence of the series has caused Kingdom Hearts fans to hope that we might finally see a Wasteland world in Kingdom Hearts 4, one that could even introduce Oswald.
Even with all the excitement around Epic Mickey right now, I haven't seen a single person ask for a remake of Epic Mickey 2... maybe just skip to the third one here, lads.

You might think that it's just Kingdom Hearts fans doing the usual and being so starved for news (I feel that) that we're hoping for anything, but the comments and retweets are full of support for the idea.
