The GameStop Expo is full of rumors this year. Another announcement was made by 1up.com about Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories being released on the Playstation 2.

For Sony fans, it looks like the Game Boy Advance title Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories will be receiving a surprise port to the PlayStation 2 this fall. The new title is rumored to feature “all new 3D bosses and cut scenes,” and should retail for $29.99.

Keep in mind that this is, once again, still a rumor until an official announcement from Square. Since there is a set price, it seems very unlikely that this will remain a rumor for long.

Square Enix has added a site of their own. Of course, the three newest installments to the Kingdom Hearts franchise have been listed. Square has also posted some information regarding each game:

• Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days

“I can’t remember, something important.”

This latest title focuses on Roxas during his time in Organization XIII. Travel from world to world on missions in single player mode along with other characters, but the multi player mode is it’s greatest feature!

• Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep

This story of awakening marks the beginning of the amazing story of Kingdom Hearts.

In the series, this title involves the past. Three new characters each with their own characteristic battle systems, it’s three scenarios you can’t miss!

• Kingdom Hearts Coded

“A forbidden secret.”

In pursuit of the mysterious sentence written inside Jiminy’s Journal, Sora returns as the main character! Will the truth be explained in this innovative title? Kingdom Hearts Mobile is also planned to open this fall!

Kingdom Hearts III is not on the list, unfortunately, although feel free to cross your fingers and hope.

This month’s issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly features an article called “Nomura’s Heroes.” Within that article, EGM describes 358/2 days and Birth By Sleep:

358/2 DAYS REVIEW
Platform: Nintendo DS, Release: 2009

“An ambitious multiplayer take on Kingdom Hearts, the oddly named 358/2 Days wasn’t nearly impressive as Birth by Sleep. Square-Enix may simply be asking too much of the humble DS hardware, and lack of an analog controller hurts too. Worse, rather than making enemies clever and challenging for four players to take down, the developers simply bumped up their hit points. There’s hope for this one, but it definitely needs work.”

BIRTH BY SLEEP REVIEW
Platform: PSP Release: 2009

“The standout title at the DK£3713 event, Birth by Sleep brings the polish and craftsmanship of Final Fantasy VII:Crisis Core to the oddball Square/Disney fusion of Kingdom Hearts. Oddly enough, this side story doesn’t star Sora, Roxas, and the usual gang but rather a trio of unknowns named Terra, Aqua and Ventus. It still plays like the PS2, but the skill system seems to have been derived from Chain of Memories for GBA- which is a good thing.”

As you can see, EGM wasn’t very thrilled with 358/2 Days, however, Birth By Sleep does sound very promising.

Unfortunately, this doesn’t tell us as much as we would like to know about these two games. However, It’s a nice thing to see that American magazines are keeping their eyes one these games.
