Nintendo News | More Details on Kingdom Hearts DS

By Jorge Ba-oh 21.09.2007 17

Square Enix have issued a press release with a few tidbits of information on the upcoming DS entry into the Kingdom Hearts franchise, 358/2 Days.

The untold story of another hero.

In Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, players explore a variety of Disney worlds in not only single-player mode, but also in multiplayer missions made possible by the unique networking features of the Nintendo DS.

Twilight Town

    Roxas and Axel were watching the sunset from their usual spot on the station's clock tower after a long day of collecting "hearts" from the Heartless, as ordered by their organization. When their daily work ended, they often spent their evenings there. They talked about the day's work and other things over ice cream.

    "Do you know why the sun looks red as it sinks below the horizon? It's because among the countless colours comprising light, red travels the greatest distance."

    "You're just trying to show off, Axel!"

    It was idle chatter between two boys without hearts.
    This is the untold story of Organization XIII's Roxas.

    Breaking news! Kingdom Hearts III doesn't, & may never exist! Smilie

    Which is actually true. Square have said that the original Kingdom Hearts series is over, & from there they will carry the series on by making new series' I guess like the Megaman games but with less games per series (& probably better too)

    If it's not card based I'll get it. If it's card based I won't.

    Yeah, that game isn't Kingdom Hearts III, it's Birth By Sleep. Birth By Sleep is a prequel to Kingdom Hearts based around other Keyblade users, & features the characters shown in the KHII FM+ trailer.

    Kingdom Hearts is going to live on in the new series'.

    Wikipedia says:
    Birth by Sleep focuses on the story of Keyblade masters before Sora from the original Kingdom Hearts game[6] and appears to be a prequel.[5][7] It is also believed to be connected to the unlockable trailer at the end of Kingdom Hearts II.[7] The game will be divided into three scenarios.[1] The story revolves around three Keyblade apprentices in search of a missing Keyblade master, Master Xehanort,[2] and his apprentice.[3] Their disappearance foreshadowed a great disaster.[1]

    Wikipedia says:Nomura has referred to the new sequels as a whole new series and stated, "The next title won't just be Kingdom Hearts III. If it were III, we wouldn't call it a new series."

    The trailer is of the PSP game, I'm pretty sure of that.

    There may be a KH III eventually, but not anytime soon.

    Maybe because the Keyblade Wars are before Kingdom Hearts? It's never said anywhere that they were after has it?

    Besides, Roxas isn't in Birth By Sleep, at least he hasn't been announced in it.

    Description of the trailer shown behind closed doors:

    Scenes of the ending of Kingdom Hearts 1 flash by on the screen, and two phrases are seen clearly onscreen. One reads

    The video at the end of KHII+ is indeed related to the PSP game, Birth by Sleep. There is also a third game in development for mobile phones called 'Kingdom Hearts: Coded'.

    I've always wanted Sora and co. to not only visit Disney worlds, but also Final Fantasy Worlds.

    I won't mind if this is card game, I enjoyed CoM.
