New Kingdom Hearts Games

It took a while for information to finally trickle through, but it seems that there will be two new Kingdom Hearts titles released either this Fall or early 2009.

However, they are both on hand held consoles so no official Kingdom Hearts 3 just yet.

One will arrive on the PSP while the other can be played on the DS.

Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep - PSP

The PSP continuation of the the Kingdom Hearts saga will follow three new characters: Terra, Ventus, and Aqua.

These characters are keyblade apprentices and are on a quest to find the keyblade master.

Apparently, this title takes place prior to the original Kingdom Hearts so I would doubt you'll be seeing Sora, Riku, or Kairi without some time traveling.

Nevertheless, check out a teaser trailer with fantastic visuals and music:


Also, another "teaser" trailer popped up on youtube, not sure if this is legitimate or not:


Not too much else is known about the game except that Maleficent makes an appears and according to the new screen shots, so does Cinderella.


Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 - DS

The oddly named DS title follows Roxas after the events of Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories and before Kingdom Hearts II.

This title will delve deeper in the backstory behind Organization XIII.

Gamespot and 1up both seem to feel that the move to the DS may be a difficult one given the console's unique control scheme.

Sadly, no concrete video pops up for this title aside from three seconds of "gameplay footage":

Hmm, these aren't quite new per se. They were announced a long time ago, but these videos are new I believe. Are they even official?

Anyways, thx for the videos ;)

It looks as if the first "Birth By Sleep" video is official and is about a year old. I'm not sure about the other video nor the 358/2 3-second clip, which is pretty lame as it is. Thanks for reading and keep checking back.

The second vid was obviously fan-made. It was Ven who was frozen, not Roxas. And the 1'st vid was Birth By Sleep. Yes AND no. The 1'st vid is official, but the 2'nd and 3'rd are not official.

Virtual Memory sure is becoming cheaper and cheaper and cheaper. I'm curious as to when we will finally reach the ratio of 1 cent to 1 Gig.

I'm still waiting for the day when I will finally be able to afford a 20 TB harddrive, lol. But for now I will be content with having a 16 gig Micro SD Card in my R4i.
