New Kingdom Hearts Games Revealed
Hi guys, this info just came here from the forums, and so, without explaining, here it is:
Quite a lot of new information was brought up; first, this is the new artwork:
Second, Square-Enix released trailers of the new games. But these trailers were shown privately, so all we have are descriptions. Here they are along with the new logos.
When the video begins, we are introduced with a series of images, followed by the words “Kingdom Hearts: New Concepts and Game Titles.” Right after this, the ending to Kingdom Hearts 2 plays, followed by the phrases “The secret ending has been dealt with, and the worlds extend once again” and “flow”.
The screen fades back in to Jiminy Cricket and the phrase “Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories”. He is peering into his journal, noticing a phrase that he cannot remember writing. It reads “You need to return, to heal the wounds”. This phrase seems to alert Jiminy in some way, as he runs off to report the finding to King Mickey. The King is startled by the discovery, but only replies with “Only he is the one who can solve it.”
We fade in and out to Sora standing on the beach at Destiny Islands. He is wearing his Kingdom Hearts 1 style clothing, but he is only shown as computer data being transmitted.
When the image of Sora disappears, a battle scene commences. As Sora is moving blocks around to finish a puzzle game, heartless are attacking from all angles. The gameplay mechanics seem very odd. After the puzzle is finished, a command called “Debugging” appears on the screen. After being activated, Sora moves extremely quickly and then vanishes.
The last scene includes Sora and Mickey in Traverse Town. Mickey says to no one in particular “I was here on that day.” and “Let’s speak truly.”. We are then presented with the name of the game: Kingdom Hearts: Coded. It has been announced to be a mobile phone game.
We are introduced with the scene where Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories had came to an end, and are then confronted with the phrase “The other side attached to Sora still sleeps”, along with “The mind comes back whenever they touch.”
The video then focuses upon Roxas and Axel, sitting atop the clock tower in Twilight Town. This seems to be the same scene from Kingdom Hearts 2: Final Mix+. Soon after, the video shows Roxas being invited into Organization XIII. He is being greeted by all, and introduces himself, and they do the same to him. Then the scene fades into Roxas actually joining the Organization.
Following this is a short clip of Mickey talking about Axel, and Saix near Roxas. Roxas is shown pulling out both of his keyblades, and it moves into gameplay. The gameplay confirms definitively that you may play with Roxas, Axel, Saix and Xigbar.
Xemnas then mentions something very interesting. He explains that a 14th member has joined their Organization, and that this member is female. This scene is quickly followed by the title of the game: “Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days” and a whispering Roxas saying “I will disappear from this world in 151 days”
This game is for the beloved Nintendo DS.
Scenes of the ending of Kingdom Hearts 1 flash by on the screen, and two phrases are seen clearly onscreen. One reads “Deep Past” and the other “Shut-Eyes gives birth to the concealed fate.”
We are then confronted by a young boy who looks like Roxas conversing with another young boy with black hair. Their surroundings seem to resemble Hallow Bastion (Radiant Garden). The name “Ven” is thrown outward, referring to the boy who looks like Roxas.
The scene change various times before stopping at an image of the Old Man from the Kingdom Hearts 2: Final Mix+ Secret Ending. He is called “Master Xehanort” by Terra. Soon after, Terra summons his keyblade and the screen changes.
Various worlds are shown, and one of which is familiar to us all. “Olympus Coliseum” is making another comeback, followed by a brand new world, that of which resembles Sleeping Beauty.
The video then changes back to Terra battling against a dark figure, whom you can tell is male. This is the same man from the Secret Ending of Kingdom Hearts 2: Final Mix+ that the Old Man creates. Terra is able to forcably get the man’s helmet off, but his face is concealed.
King Mickey is shown summoning his keyblade, and then the scene changes very quickly to Terra on a beach. He seems to be watching two boys play in the ocean. After he rests his weapon into the ground, the two boys he was watching are clearer and they look like Sora and Riku. Soon after, Terra says “Please don’t depend on me, just erase me… friend.” The phrase “Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep” arises, and it is revealed this game is for the PSP.
Note: It has been rumored the DS game is being co-developed by Hand (Chocobo Tales) and the PSP game is being developed by the Crisis Core team. This is not a confirmation, just speculation.

The kingdom hearts game isn’t meant to be nintendo’s savior , so thats what I think about that…I already had the mindset that the ps2 installments were done , so I’ve been storing money away for the ps3 JUST for my next kingdom hearts game. But damn it all to hell with these little side games. Don’t get me wrong , I get that these are sidestories , and I don’t mind them coming out on hand helds , but lets be serious here people. No one fell in love with the game by playing chain of memories on GBA alone. You must have played the first or the second game on ps2 , if not both. Lets face it , kingdom hearts is at its best when its on a nice big tv , with all of square’s beautiful graphics and music. DAMMIT!!!
PS: Sum1 already made this point , but its worth mentioning again…Didn’t Nomura say that the side stories wouldn’t be called Kingdom Hearts? All 3 of these games are Kingdom Hearts:Insert sub name here. He said it’d be a whole new series based in the same universe. Perhaps that haven’t made all the announcements yet?

I was kind of disappointed that the games werent going to be on ps2.
But at least its on the psp.

i think that a better more ethical idea would be to release the KH3 if there will be one , and release it on the nintendo wii , the wii could beifit way more form that game then the other two consoles

I believe Square is just buying time until a price drop that allows the majority of their rabid fan base to purchase a PS3 AND whatever titles they are fooling around with for the system.
They might even try to market it around the same time for the sake of sales. At least, that would make sense to me… and a lot of marketing majors.

all the games on PSP and DS do not suck, you don’t know what your talking about. KH3 could be on the Wii also, since PS3 might be dead by the time they start making it.

they pretty much wasted 3 years of precious time making handhelds. now we can all wait for something to come out in like 2011 when we get tired of waiting! Jesus Christ a CELL PHONE GAME?? whos gonna even consider buying that??

Well if they plan to create KH3 when price of PS3 get low and that is in few years they should create remake of this three games for PS2. BTW price of PS3 will get low when SONY design new console (probably PS4) and then we will have the same problem and that is kinda stupid!

OK people just telling you, the new member is not Namine because if she was she’d have a ‘X’ in her name, but she doesn’t, so don’t keep thinking its Namine, ok?
P.S. The Organization is watch you all… and we need more hearts…
on 22 Sep 2007 at 8:30 am 51. Claws
SE are probly not making KH3 until the PS3 price goes way down thats probobly why they are making KH spinoffs
P.S didnt Nomura say that the new seiries wouldnt have the words Kingdom Hearts in the title

Hm.. Cant anyone refer the release dates of birth by sleep on USA, and on Europe?.. And is this game on DS or PSP?
please answer.

Ok first of all cell phones are very popular in Japan and so are games for them. So that is why that game was made. Second, these are just the side stories that were confirmed to be released on the hand held systems. Kingdom Hearts 3 will probably be released on the PS3.
on 22 Sep 2007 at 6:06 am 48. Sora92
Nooooooooo! Why other consoles!! Kingdom Hearts belong to PS2!!! I was afraid of this will happen!!
And still I afraid that Kingdom HEarts 3 will be for PS3! I am doomed..I don’t have money for PS3! Why god!?

I feel sad.

Thank GOD(s) it isn’t on the PS3!
I would have been SO mad. Because I am NOT buying a $600 piece of exploding junk, no matter WHAT game comes for it.
Maybe when the price goes down, but that’s a waste.

By the way I only have DS, I’m just gonna borrow my friend’s PSP which used to be mine actually. And to clear things up there will NEVER be another KH game on the PS2, I know, it sucks, just deal with it and get a new system!
on 22 Sep 2007 at 3:28 am 44. King Mickey
Ok fine I’ll answer your question
Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep: PSP
Kingdom Hearts 258/2 Days: DS
Kingdom Hearts Coded: cell phones
I actually think this was a pretty good idea. Nomura wanted the next games on a handheld, which is cool, like with CoM. Come on people, you should all have either a psp or DS by now. As for the cell phone game, Nomura was definitely smokin crack when he came up with that.
on 22 Sep 2007 at 3:21 am 43. Axelblade
Um just a quick question im not really clear on.
So the New KH games are not going to be released on Soney PS2 OR PS3?
Please some one with close to perfect information answer this question.
Thanks!

It’s kind of dissapointing,I was hoping for the games `to be on ps3. But i guess i will just have to buy the psp. But im still really excited! Cant wait for them to come out!!
on 22 Sep 2007 at 1:09 am 41. poii
great now i need to get a psp and ds there goes all my hard earn cash
on 22 Sep 2007 at 12:38 am 40. Tazimus Prime
I have to agree with ray that namine is that 14th member of the Organization.
on 21 Sep 2007 at 11:00 pm 39. RiKu
What a let down. RiKu sighs in dissapointment…
on 21 Sep 2007 at 10:53 pm 38. venom
I think Ashley Tisdale should provide the voice of Aqua
on 21 Sep 2007 at 10:52 pm 37. RiKu
WHAT!? A game for a freakin cell phone!!!!!
358/2 Days and Birth by Sleep both sound like AWESOME games tho. CAN’T WAIT!!!!!!!
on 21 Sep 2007 at 10:36 pm 36. Eden Rose
so is there still going to be a kingdom hearts for the ps3???? becuse there making loads on different consoles which mean more money to spend, not good. WEll i cnt wait for the release of the ps3 (if there is one)
on 21 Sep 2007 at 10:31 pm 35. ray
for ppl wondering about those games kh:coded was made because that mobile phones r popular in japan so yah that why they made it. for ppl wonder if ven is roxas and vise versa it is ven.. actually roxas nver existed. Normra (sp?) confirmed that ven looks excatly like roxas but with a alter to the clothes, but its a whole new person not roxas but ven. and the 14th mem is a female but my theory could be namine. who would expect to be be figuring that she is a nobody and could be a possibillity.
