3 New Kingdom Hearts Games; Updated With DS & PSP Screens!
Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep for PSP looks to be a single-player adventure in the vein of the PlayStation 2 iterations, though not "Kingdom Hearts III." Birth by Sleep's protagonist was not explicitly named in the presentation, but he looked an awful lot like Zack of Final Fantasy VII/Crisis Core fame.
Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days for Nintendo DS appears to star Roxas from Kingdom Hearts II, but its main draw looks to be four-player simultaneous play using members of Organization XIII. It will be in full 3D.
Kingdom Hearts: Coded is a mobile game, likely for Japanese cell phones. It stars the familiar cast of main characters from the original Kingdom Hearts (Sora & co.) and seems to be set between the first and second PlayStation 2 titles.
- Begins with the ending of KH Re:CoM, and mentions "the opposite side of time, while Sora was sleeping".
- The entire game is centered around Roxas, and his time while Sora is asleep, as expected.
- XIII Org game total. 4 player multiplay.
- Ends with "In another 151 days, I will disappear from this world..."
KH Birth by Sleep:
- Begins with the the KH ending going backwards to the Opening. "The distant past", "Destiny is born from the sleeping secret".
- Takes place in Hollow Bastion.
- Features the characters from the KH2FM+ secret ending, including the old man.

New images (12/29/07): Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep (PSP)
This makes me so happy. I've wanted a Kingdom Hearts game to hit handhelds for so long. I wanted said game to be on the DS. I also wanted said game to star Roxas, undeniably my favorite KH character.

So what, is Square waiting longer to see the outcome of the console race before committing to a home console?
EDIT: The Japanese title of the DS game is '358 Over 2 Days', not backslash.
That's not a backslash

IT'S GOT ME REACHING IN MY POCKET IT'S GOT ME FORKING OVER CASH
CUZ THERE'S SOMETHING IN THE MIDDLE AND IT'S GIVING ME A RASH

3 new games yet they can't be bothered to release Final Mix+ in the US.
Fuck those guys.
I'm looking forward to these games but have to agree with this. Why the hell can't they bring International editions of crap over here? Most of them already have 90% of the english finished.

Sucks that we won't be seeing either of the games til probably 2009, assuming they just started developing Birth By Sleep and 358/2 Days.
I'd like to think that by now Square has learned not to announce games so early.
...I hope.
Yeah. I just hope it's not a repeat of FFXII. You know, what with that 3/4s of year delay between the Japanese and American releases. The 3 months between KH2's release wasn't too bad.
Super suckage for Europe as usual, it'll take forever to get there.
Fuck that. If I can get even close to the cinematics' graphics on a 360 or PS3 version of Kingdom Hearts, I'd take that instead
Kingdom Hearts 2 looked damn fine as is. They don't have to improve the graphics too much to continue to impress.
The secret ending of KH2 disagrees with you. If those could be the real time graphics (which the PS3 seems perfectly able to do) I think that would impress me a great deal.

And run out and buy a PSP.
New, where the hell have you been? Two best selling "systems" this gen.
SE really just knows how to win my love.
or maybe f(2)=KH (358/x)days

I shall get the PSP and DS game.
Still an unusual title though.
Fuck those guys.
358 layers of awesome, I think.

Maybe we all get together to kick some punk hero's ass and use his or her world as a Heartless breeding ground.
I haven't seen a situation where they HAVEN'T announced a game too early.
I call dibs on the "Home on the Range" world.

Hmm...nice and wide for Heartless, plus the bonus of bovine meat? I like how you think.
i cant stand those shorts of his on that design, but oh well im sure i will definetly be picking all these up

Pretty sure that's Terra, the armored guy from the crazy hidden KH2 Final Mix video.
But I'd buy a PSP anyway. Cuz hey... Kingdom Hearts.

Let's complain about the cell phone game we'll likely never see!
Did it look good? Sure, it looked perfectly fine.
Would it look impressive now? No
Would a game with graphics like the CGI cinematics impress the fuck out of everybody? Yes it would
The obvious answer is that the phone game isn't going to leave Japan.
1: It would print money.
2: I would be in a position to buy it.
The DS game sounds good enough to buy; I shall do so.
I expect to say got it memorised in to the mic. They best not dissapoint me in this regard.
