A Steamboat Willie mod would be fun to do. I am curious to see how many games, movies and books will incorporate the original Mickey in their projects going forward.

Tons no doubt. It was a long time coming, and would've happened a full 25 years earlier if Disney didn't lobby for a copyright term extension under false pretenses. I think a great thing for game developers is the possibility of using him as a Mario replacement, especially for fan projects that no longer have to be "fan projects" because of this. They can be legally distinct now while still having an appealing and recognisable mascot character.
