KINGDOM HEARTS 358/2 DAYS (nintendo ds)

[KawaiiAngel]

WHAT THA HELL....
okay, does anyone have info on this game? I just found out that its coming out Q1 of 2008 I believe, but my question is...why nintendo ds??

kingdom hearts I/II have both been on playstation, why nintendo??WHYYY??

and my second concern is if the nintendo ds will be able to put out good enough graphics for it...which I doubt

...and finally, I wonder what the name means...HMMMMM puzzling indeed

But don't get me wrong -despite my complaints, when it comes out I'm totally getting it XD (I'm just hoping its not a letdown!) I'm a big fan of the Kingdom hearts series  :P

anyone have some screenshots or anything of that nature?

much appreciated =D

From what I've heard about the game Roxas is the main character *squee* and you play through his story between KH1 and KH2. The game is going to be released along side of Birth by Sleep (PSP) and Coded (Cell phone). The game should employ the same controls that the console does by integrating the touch screen. Here's a video that has some stills of the gameplay and characters, supposedly there is a 14th member of OXIII. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9JSeyLlZw4&feature=related

Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories was on the GameBoy Advance, it's really not unexpected that they'd release another game for a Nintendo handheld platform.  I hope this game is good.   :)

UNless you want to get it for the ps3 !!!! do you know how much THATS GOING to rob you wallet????

IM glad they chose a DS. because the coop play looks very interesting. I soo can't wait to play as Zexion and Axel! roxas is a huge yeay but why does he have to chose the kingdom keyblade????whats wrong with his DUal keyblades O_O!??? still.....

Otherwise another choice console is the ps2 but i thought that system is long gone now O_O!??????....but still if you think a KH game be release on ps3 what would your reactions BE???

By all accounts they are still working on KH3.

These 3 are just the hold overs.

see what I mean about console jumping?  :P

no one listens to me...

but yah there was KH: Chain of memories on GBA which was a filler (side) story between Kh1 and Kh2 - basically introduce the concept of Organization XIII and Namine's character... (Kairi's nobody)...

this is what I found on 1up.com and basically a "teaser" from TGS 2007.

Previews: Kingdom Hearts DS   
Explore the dark side of KH on DS - with friends!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
By Jeremy Parish  09/19/2007

     This is a preview from TGS 2007. To see all our coverage, screens and
  videos from the show, check out 1UP's TGS.1UP.COM hub page.   


OK, let's get this right out of the way: The title of the new DS-based Kingdom Hearts game, revealed today in Square Enix's TGS 2007 "closed mega theatre," doesn't make a damn lick of sense. Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days? Does that mean it's 358 days divided by two? Why not just call it "179 Days"? Or does it mean 358 of something or another in the space of two days? That would almost fit, given the way Kingdom Hearts II's prologue was divided into days....

And like the opening hours of KHII, 358/2 Days focuses not on Sora and friends but instead on Sora's Heartless, Roxas. Or more specifically, it focuses on Roxas' comrades, the mysterious Organization XIII. Unlike previous KH titles, the DS iteration adds four-player coop to the mix -- so while one player will likely want to control Roxas while others take command of Axel or other Organization XIII members.

Much of the trailer seems to be set in Twilight Town, and its setting in the KH chronology is billed as "the time of the other side." Where that falls in relation to the other games' timeline is unknown, though presumably before KHII.

The gameplay was only briefly shown, but it appears to be fairly standard KH fare -- fully 3D, lots of melee- and combo-driven combat -- but the difference is that your brainless A.I. companions are now controlled by other players who, hopefully, will be somewhat less stupid. The camera seems fairly tight, low to the ground and close to the player's character, though it's tough to form definite opinions based on the split-second flashes of action we saw.

Despite the focus on the "bad guys," such as they are, 358/2 Days still seems to have its share of Disney elements -- King Mickey puts in an appearance in a gloomy forest, where he's confronted by someone in dark robes. Although the robed man's face is never shown, he lowers his hood, which causes Mickey to draw his Keyblade. Much of Organization XIII's stark white headquarters is shown as well, including a scene of tension where a new character -- apparently a young girl, though her face is never revealed -- is introduced, to Sora's dismay.

No release date was given for the DS version of Kingdom Hearts, but hopefully Square Enix will take its time and polish up the multiplayer. Assuming the co-op play works out, it could easily add a new and welcome dimension to the series.

Thanks for the screens/videos DarthD...

but overall If anything like Kh:Chain of memories, it should be decent.

I'm more curious about the multiplayer function this time around. nothing like saving the disney/square universe with a buddy and/or a cute female companion (hint hint KawaiiAngel) :D

gotta admit tho, if and when Kh3 comes out on ps3... its gonna be epic... and hopefully living up to every fanboy/girl's dreams of the perfect mix between disney and the squaresoft legends.


oh and FYI,
