Scans of 358/2 and Birth by Sleep. 358/2 looks pretty damn good for DS. BbS looks awesome.

Oh dear God it’s Malificent’s castle from Sleeping Beauty.

358/2 Days interface reminds me of PSO, lol.

These games are going to rock so hard.

Wow, too many scans. Here we go:
1 2

And some info

Update: some info from kh-2.net:

The thorns and castle from “Sleeping Beauty”. (Which ultimately means Maleficient has a greater role than what we thought, aye?)

Ven, who looks pretty much like Roxas, is seen a few times here.

Where Terra’s head is. It looks more like Destiny Islands than Twilight Town?

Third image only further confirms Terra of being the playable character.

Ven in the Olympus Coliseum in the second image.

The 14th Org. member is seen in the fifth image.

Character profiling on the sixth page. Yesh.

It’s the little Sora and Riku scene! Awww!

The image with Terra putting his hand on Ven’s shoulder is the “thank you, Ven” scene.

On the sixth page which features Mickey holding his Starseeker, and you see Ven behind him. Yes, that’s the “Mickey protects fallen Ven” scene.

And some info

Debates are going whether the 14th member is Namine, Aqua, or a new character we haven’t seen yet. I don’t know what to think, but that ss certainly looks like Namine’s build.

[ChairHome]

Man, there are even more scans. Cleaner, too. Some repeated pics, but I hope you don’t mind.

And yeah, I think it looks like Namine.

Some more info from 1up

Last week during the Tokyo Game Show, we reported that Square-Enix was releasing not just one, but three Kingdom Hearts games for multiple handheld platforms. This week’s Famitsu magazine has revealed further information on the titles so let’s check it out.

The first game, Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days for the DS covers the story of the character Roxas from Kingdom Hearts II when he joins Organization XIII. Director Tetsuya Nomura describes the game, “The meaning of the title is deliberately named like a secret code. Players will understand its meaning once they complete the game. The title also includes the word ‘Days’ which will depict what everyday life is like being in Organization XIII”. Although Mickey Mouse can be seen as one of the recurring Disney characters, Nomura says, “Several worlds from the Disney animation will be in the game, but the way it will be handled will be different from the previous games.” Co-director Tomohiro Hasegawa adds, “The worlds will be those from the previous series, but we will only include those that fits well with the story.” The game will feature a multiplayer mode as well. You and your friends will be able to control Roxas as well as other characters such as Axel and Sigbar from Organization XIII. Separate from single player mode, here you will receive and complete several missions, some of which include puzzle-solving dungeons and boss battles.

Secondly, Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep for the PSP is based on the characters and world which was shown in the secret movie of Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix (which was only released in Japan). The game is a new chapter in the series where the story is set before the events of the first Kingdom Hearts game. Three characters Ven, Aqua and Tela will be the focus of the story, each having its own chapter. Although the game system (including battle system and multiplayer features) are still work in progress, Nomura cites, “Each of the characters have different abilities so the way the game plays out will feel different. Each chapter won’t play out in order so players will need to choose certain characters to unravel certain mysteries and progress through the game. Among the new titles, this game probably has the closest feel to the previous games in terms of controls.”

The third game, Kingdom Hearts: Coded is a game for cellphone services in Japan. A spinoff from the first Kingdom Hearts game, here, a digital version of Sora will need to recover the lost data of Gepetto and eliminate the bugs that is corrupting the digital Kingdom Hearts world. Players will need to battle the Heartless once again and stop them from spreading bugs. In what seems like a puzzle game, you can also enter into a mini-game (ironically) called “Debugging Mode” to eliminate these bugs as well. The graphics features a mix of 2D characters and 3D world, using specs close to those in Final Fantasy Agito XIII (also for the cellphone).

The three titles have no release date announced for Japan at this point, and we’re still awaiting for news on its North American and European release. Let’s keep our fingers crossed.

I don’t understand why Nomura is doing these games on platforms. Cut the bullshit Nomura and just make a 3rd game that will be far more successful than all those 3 games together.

I don’t think the main team is working on any of these games. I think they’re probably slowly working on KH3 while these games are released to keep interest in the franchise and maybe bring in new fans. The Chain of Memories team is working on BbS, the Chocobo Tales team is working on 358/2, and the Before Crisis team is working on Coded.

There has not been a post here for quite some time. I was looking arount the internet to see if I can find anything out about the new KH, here’s what I got…http://www.khinsider.com/
It seems the new titles on the games are 358/2(which will be out in JAPAN in 2008) and Birth By Sleep which I have no idea about the storyline. Does anyone have any new info on these new titles?

[Kyoujin]

Last post was in December? Wow, not much going in the KH community until BbS and 358/2.

There has been a sever lack of information about these two titles; I’m hoping these don’t take too long coming state-side. I can’t beleiev how good BbS looks in the PSP; possibly even better than KH2: FM+ on PS2.

[Wolfkiller]

Yeah…sad…the biggest news I saw was that there are US releases of the Kingdom Hearts novels coming soonish. We are still getting fucked on cool KH merch over here though, they get waaaay more cool shit than we ever will. I don’t care if Square has to sell out and sell that shit through Hot Topic, I just want some bad ass Kh shirts dammit.

[gemdoom]

Hey
I guess this is the right thread to ask…

I am currently fighting Sephiroth on KH2. Yay. Anyway, I seem to have a bit of a problem. I am Lv 59 (dont laugh!), so I need to heal somewhat often in the later stages of the fight–I have taken him down all the way to the last pixel of life before, but I got sucker punched :sad:). The big problem is that I cant use Elixirs or anything that heals MP!!! It has been like a year or so since I last played the game (before I took on Sephy, anyways), so I may have forgotten something. Currently Sora has equipped for shortcuts: Curaga, Hi Potions, Reflect, and Thundaga. Now, I have equipped Elixirs and ethers and regular potions, but they are always grayed out. Always. Even if I switch the buttons around, no matter where they are, they are ALWAYS grayed out. Even if I remove the Curaga or the hi potions, they are still grayed out. So, essentially, all I have to help are 6 Hi potions and a Curaga… I mean, I do try to hit him out of that damned Heartless Angel attack, but sometimes I just dont get there fast enough:sad:

Any ideas on what this is? Or do I have a corrupted save file or something?

Thanks!

[torn]

You don’t really have elixers. You have the option of equipping them but if there aren’t any in stock, it’ll be grayed out.

[Lv.32_Z-Ism_Rose]

Well, I just checked, and I have 12 elixirs, 10 potions, and 20 Ethers. I removed everything but the Hi potions and equipped them. All but the Hi Potions were blacked out…

Weird…

[Kyoujin]

BEHOLD!
