It's Kirby. But he's a kid, a hideous pre-rendered kid. And can only be controlled by SNES mouse.

Donald Duck. But now he's a Private Investigator clad in a hawaiian shirt. But he's also A NINJA. And he's called Maui Mallard. In Cold Shadow. Starring... DONALD DUCK!

A-at least the game is decent.

I believe the devs explained the Maui Mallard name was because market research indicated that American children didn't like the Donald Duck character very much.

Yeah in Burgerland they just omitted "Donald Duck" from the title entirely. On the snes version at least.

Oddly enough Mickey Mouse and the gang are much more popular overseas than in the US.

>Sister Sonic is a canceled localization of Popful Mail announced sometime in 1993. Originally the plan was to replace the existing cast of the game with Sonic characters, including Sonic's long lost sister, Sister Sonic. Due to a large number of angry letters sent to Sega Falcom (the name which would be used for the Sega and Falcom team) it was decided to cancel this port and instead settle on a more direct port of Popful Mail to the Mega CD.

Diablo port for the Gameboy that was going to have three different versions, one for each class, with players able to trade unique equipment over the link cable.

To be honest, I love Donald a lot more than that mouse.
Am I alone here?

Well, Donald's actually got some personality. He has a bad temper, is slightly retarded and impulsive, sometimes genuinely mean. Relatable.

And Mickey is... super nice and polite all the time?

You are not alone. Donald is one of my favorites, even when he's getting the short end of the stick(which is most of the time).

Donald Duck is so much more popular in Europe for some reason. the weekly comic book is still running after 70+ years!

If only Sega would or even could make a 3D Sonic game that holds up to the original Adventure series. Sonic 06 tried and failed and I don't like the new direction of 3D Sonic.

Sega needs to bring back SA1-like controls and level design with a more modern camera for a true revival of 3D Sonic. No more boost to win bullshit that has been done to death since Unleashed.
