Hi, guys!


Four bits of news collated over the last few days for you here. Most importantly is an interview with Tetsuya Nomura in Nintendo Dream on the subject of Kingdom Hearts Re:coded and Kingdom Hearts 3D, posted by the lovely ReBirth Wings. While one of our translators is working on the full thing, here's a passage about Kingdom Hearts 3D by Key to Truth!

☆ The atmosphere in KH3D will be different from other titles. ☆ There will be new worlds. ☆ Re:Coded's ending and BBS' secret movies give hints as to what Sora has to do in future titles. ☆ KH3D will be close to how CoM had a story for Sora and Riku, but it's not like they are going to be separated in this adventure. ☆ Nomura wants to add three new "elements" to KH3D, things that wouldn't be possible to do on any console other than Nintendo 3DS. ☆ Nomura is thinking about more titles apart from KH3D.

Next up is the Re:coded Ultimania! Bent.co.jp give us this piece of news; while there's a summary underneath the Ultimania's cover, it's only a summary of the game. I'm sure most of you by now know Re:coded's plot to some extent.



As you know, Re:coded made its debut in Japan on October 7 2010, which is two weeks ago to the day. It's done amazingly well in terms of sales figures, competing with the insanely-popular Pokémon Black and White whose sale figures were a shocker to be sure. Overall, Re:coded grabbed the fourth place as 4Gamer reports with over 31,000 units sold this week! Take a look at the link above to see how well it did against other games.


Last but not least, the Japanese Kingdom Hearts portal site has been completely revamped, and it appears that the individual sites for the individual games that the site links to have also been updated, too! It's been almost a decade since the first game's site was dusted over, so it's nice to see a nice new polish on everything. Is this a sign that Kingdom Hearts will continue for many more days? We hope so! Check it out here!


Talk about KH! That's it! ^__^

Released by Disney and Square Enix in 2002 "The closer you get to the light, the larger your shadow becomes" When stars start disappearing and 14-year-old Sora's home, Destiny Islands, is engulfed in a freak storm, he must journey across worlds to find his friends, Riku and Kairi. As master of the mysterious Keyblade, Sora (voiced by the Sixth Sense's Haley Joel Osmet) must battle the soul-eating Heartless and discover where true strength lies. Kingdom Hearts is the first collaboration between powerhouses of animation and gaming, Disney and Square. A fun, light-entertainment role-playing game featuring cameos by a plethora of familiar characters, from Cloud Strife and Sephiroth to Hades, Tinkerbell, Jack Skellington and Maleficent.

The love of Namine for Roxas! lol!







It's just so cool! ^__^


>>MOBILE PHONES

>>Coded is set after the events of Kingdom Hearts II. Jiminy Cricket returns to Disney Castle to organize the records in his journal. In his journal he finds a message that he did not write: "We must return to free them from their torment." To investigate this message, King Mickey digitizes the contents of the journal, awakening a virtual Sora on Destiny Islands.

>>Like previous Kingdom Hearts titles, coded will feature numerous Disney characters. Confirmed characters include King Mickey, Pluto, Jiminy Cricket, a virtual Sora, Donald Duck, Goofy, and the Heartless. The virtual Sora is in the original Sora's attire from the first game because he is created from data from Jiminy's earlier journal entries. The characters referred to as "them" in the message left in Jiminy's journal refers to the main antagonists of the game, who have yet to be revealed.



Just love em. ^^
