Sorry we didn’t post this earlier – we hadn’t been reading through FF7AC Reunion for the last few days. Long story short: new 6-minute trailer, uses Utada’s “Passion (After the Battle)” as its theme. The game releases in less than three weeks, so be prepared!
Check back in with us in the following days for more news, including our own reports from a playthrough of the Japanese version on the day of release!
358/2 Days, that is! Famitsu’s doing another one of its semi-regular 358/2 Days articles, and so another new batch of images has appeared, featuring a few recognisable places and faces!
Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days will mark the new Japanese Kingdom Hearts game since 2007, and will be releasing on May 20th, 2009 across the country. A North American version has not been announced as of yet.
I’ll admit, that title was confusing. However it seems that the Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days box art has officially hit the nets, and I thought I’d update you guys!
Kinda unsurprising, seeing as we’d seen the artwork before, but nevertheless it’s looking really great. Hopefully the west will get the same, or else something of equal quality. Only time will tell, I guess.
In other news, Neverland is a confirmed world in 358/2 Days, Robin Atkin Downes (Luxord) and Shanelle Gray (Larxene) will be officially returning to the English cast for the game and various videos are available on Youtube. Enjoy!
Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days will be releasing on Nintendo’s DS across Japan on May 30, 2009. No official word on the English release yet.
That’s right, an official Japanese street date has been revealed; the wait is almost over now for those of you waiting for major amounts of footage!
Square have announced that the game will officially launch on the 30th of May, 2009 in Japan for 5980 yen. A Limited Edition bundle will also be available for 24880 yen – the DSi pictured below will be included in the bundle!
Until then, get ready!
Nothing majorly new here as per usual, but this scan just recently appeared online on Japanese websites, and reveals one little piece of information.
Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days will be releasing in Japan this May!
Now that this detail is out of the way, we can also tell you that the images included here are new (although in rather poor quality), and they are indeed taken from the Wonderland portion of the game, which is rather early into the story.
Other than this, not much more to report. Enjoy!

This is relatively small news overall, but for those of you who haven’t checked KH Insider lately, they’re reporting an interesting tidbit of information.
At this point, both Quinton Flynn (as Axel) and Vincent Corazza (as Zexion) have been confirmed as returning cast members from previous titles for the upcoming 358/2 Days. This important for two reasons:
1. It means that Square’s USA branch are committed to bringing in as much of the original cast as possible and
2. It also means that localization has begun on the title, with voice actors being hired this early. In the old days, Square would wait until a game was released in Japan before an English localization was began.
Other than this, not much news to report on.
Sorry we haven’t updated for a while guys, there didn’t seem to be enough reason to until now. A large batch of images were recently released for the upcoming DS incarnation, and we’re bringing you the highlights here for those of you that haven’t seen them yet!
Hope you enjoyed the images guys, I’ll catch you next time.
Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days is being released exclusively on the Nintendo DS sometime in the first half of 2009 in Japan. We’ll keep you updated on a Western release date.
As you all probably know by now, new trailers for the upcoming Kingdom Hearts titles have been released online thanks to the new Square-Enix DVD, re:riplai.
The DVD’s main feature was that it brought together many of the currently unreleased trailers that Square had shown over the past year. Most of these were Final Fantasy related (which is what we’ve been so busy reporting on), but several Kingdom Hearts trailers made their way onto the DVD.
You can see a subtitled version of the above trailer at this link right here!
The trailer below was subtitled by KH Insider.
