For our first bit of information, Org and I thought it would be prevalent to start with BBS.

As many of you know, the NA Birth by Sleep release is just around the corner, with a confirmed date of September 7th, 2010.  Europe follows shortly after, coming in at September 10th, 2010.  The day is coming fast, with just 70 and 73 days for the NA and EU releases respectively. Personally, I have already ordered my copy in anticipation for one of the years greatest games.

For those of you that didn’t watch, the annual E3 convention held in Los Angeles, California took place about two weeks ago, during which time an English trailer was released for BBS. This video, running about about five minutes long, is, in my opinion, simply astounding, displaying many voice actors, some you may recognize, others you may not. That video can be found here. Enjoy.

Lastly, many voice actors for the English and European releases have been confirmed whiles others are still rumored. However, i have a list of them here, both rumored and confirmed. Beginning with the main characters:

Master Xehanort has been confirmed to be voiced by Leonard Nimoy, the original Spock from Star Trek.

Aqua has been confirmed to be voiced by Willa Holland.

Master Eraqus has been confirmed to be voiced by none other than Mark Hamill, who was Luke Skywalker in the original Star Wars.

Ventus of course is voiced by Jesse McCartney, as is Roxas. Vanitas is going to be voiced by Haley Joel Osment, as is Sora. Both of those are confirmed as well.

Lastly, Terra. So far, i have found two possible voices for Terra, both of which i was unable to find a confirmation for. First off, I was unable to tell from the video, but it has been rumored that Christian Bale, who played Batman in The Dark Knight, is going to be playing Terra, however, i have seen no official confirmation, and could not discern for myself, if you are able to tell if that is Bale, please say so. Secondly, i have heard that Johnny Yong Bosch is going to be playing Terra. Bosch has been in multiple video games and anime series throughout his career, including Nero from Devil may Cry 4, Ichigo Kurosaki from the Bleach anime, and Adam, the second Black Power Ranger in the original series. again, if you can confirm if this is Bosch, please do so.

Moving on, many of the organization members are making a return, such as:

Braig: James Patrick Stuart
Dilan: David Dayan Fisher
Even: Derek Stephen Prince
Aeleus: David Boat
(The One and Only) Isa: Kirk Thornton
Lea: Quinton Flynn

Well that’s about it for news regarding BBS. It’s coming people, i promise. I know if you watched that trailer I put up, that your extremely excited now, but hold tight, it will be here sooner than you know.

Hope all is well

As we approach the Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep Japanese release, all sort of new art and info have begun to spill out. First and foremost, the boxart has been revealed, showing off Birth By Sleep’s three main characters and King Mickey. Keep in mind, this isn’t the actual boxart, but the art that will be used to create it.

Scans for the latest Famitsu have also surfaced, boasting the characters from Olympus Coliseum, Radiant Gardens, and Yen Sid’s Tower. It also shows off some of the CG that will be featured in Birth By Sleep, which looks to be fantastic. (thanks to KHInsider for the scans!)

Best of all, a Japanese trailer has also been put up on Youtube (in HD!), featuring some of the CG in motion as well as multiple new scenes for all characters. You can watch it here.

Also, look out for a new Birth By Sleep themed banner!

Both Jesse McCartney and Chris Sanders have recently confirmed their part as voice actors in Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep as Ventus and Stitch, respectively. Jesse McCartney returning as Ventus shows just how similar the character is to Roxas.

McCartney and Sander’s confirmation of taking part in Birth By Sleep should signify that a release date reveal is close by!

Japanese gaming magazine V-Jump has dropped some info on a new mode in Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep — a co-op mode. Players take control of one of the three heroes — Ven, Aqua, and Terra — in a world called Mirage Arena. It’s basically an arena mode, in which the trio fights in their armor as seen in the secret trailer.

It is unknown whether or not the mode will be Ad-Hoc, Infrastructure, or both.

As well as this new information, the magazine released several screenshots. The shots reveal the Peter Pan world, as well as some shots of the Mirage Arena world. Check them out below.
