In the December 2009 issue of Game Informer magazine, the Top 200 Games of All Time list was released, according to the magazine. Kingdom Hearts ranked at 79th, and Kingdom Hearts II ranked at 130th. Both games ranked higher than such popular titles as Assassin's Creed, Call of Duty II, LittleBigPlanet, Pong, and Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. The Final Fantasy games, which are heavily related to the Kingdom Hearts series, also did very well, putting Final Fantasy XII at 112th, Final Fantasy IV at 80th, Final Fantasy X at 43rd, Final Fantasy VII at 15th, and Final Fantasy VI at 8th. The list was topped with the original NES game The Legend of Zelda at the top of the list.
The magazine also had a small preview article of Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep. Unfortunately, no new information or images were released. However, Game Informer reports that the PSP game's North American release can be expected around mid to late 2010.

Nearly four months after the sad and unfortunate passing of Mickey Mouse's voice actor, Wayne Allwine, a new voice actor has finally been announced for the famous Disney character. For future voice acting, including upcoming installments in the Kingdom Hearts series, Bret Iwan will portray the voice of the infamous big-eared mouse. Again, may Wayne Allwine rest in peace.

Wayne Allwine, the third voice of Mickey Mouse, passed away May 18, 2009, at the age of 62, from complications due to diabetes. He had been the official voice actor of Mickey Mouse since 1977, giving a voice to Disney's mascot in everything from Mickey's Christmas Carol to the Kingdom Hearts series. Allwine loved his work and put joy in the hearts of many during his career, and leaves behind a wife, Russi Taylor, the voice of Minnie Mouse.

Hi, folks. We're making some changes to our User Page policies since some folks are taking advantage of our more lax policies. To make it short and simple, if you have any images that are not Kingdom Hearts related on your userpage, we are giving you a week to save them or store them away elsewhere. On Thursday, April 9th, all non-Kingdom Hearts images will be removed from the wiki. It will still be okay to put non-Kingdom Hearts pictures on your User Page, but they must be stored or hosted on another website, such as PhotoBucket.
Talk boxes and user boxes shouldn't be affected by this, so worry not about your colorful cubes and shiny bubbles. ^_^

Well, we had a bit of a glitch with the Twilight Town Forums...Drake Clawfang discovered the forum categories were mixing with the category for Twilight Town in the game. To make a long story short, your old discussions haven't been deleted; but it will take a while to move them into the proper area, so please bear with us and we'll get it fixed as soon as possible. In the meantime, feel free to post in the Twilight Town Library area.
EDIT: All fixed! Post away as always.
