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.

Info from Famitsu:
Famitsu wrote:
KH 358/2 Days:

- 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.

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 forward slash.

    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.

    SE really just knows how to win my love.

    Apparently the direct translation from the Japanese title is "358 Over 2 Days", 1UP short-handed the title with the slash.

    Still an unusual title though.

    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.

    Glad they're basing a game off of Roxas. His origins are so great but they did absolutely nothing with him in KH2.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Did it look good? Sure, it looked perfectly fine.

    Would it look impressive now? No

    I'd rather see KH3 on the Wii for two reasons.

    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.
