The next installment of the Kingdom Hearts franchise takes place in between Chain of Memories and KH2, much like how CoM took place between KH1 and 2. Gamers will be able to play as one of the thirteen Organization XIII members, as well as play cooperatively through wireless multiplayer.

Another interesting addition to this game is the currently Japan-exclusive Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days DSi.

Needless to say, I really want the game, as I'm a big fan of the KH series. As for the DSi, I just hope Nintendo isn't stingy enough to not release it here. I'd definitely get that version of the DSi. It looks kickass.

The game releases in Japan on the 30th of this month, ~~and in North America, a tentative release date has been given for this upcoming August/September (sources vary).~~ The date has officially been announced by Square-Enix as September 29th, 2009.

Thoughts?

I am not sure if I will get it. The DSi is in fact kickass, but that's about as far as my love goes for the KH series. However, I am willing to support any title that appeals to a core audience :P

I'm getting for sure. As soon as it was announced I did a backflip.

I'm a huge fan of kingdom hearts, and I can't wait until I can play as Demyx."Dance water,dance!"

It looks horrendous.

Hope the gameplay makes up for that.

Explain?
Anyways I'm excited. I've liked Kingdom Hearts since my sister got the first one for me. This seems kinda like a fan game. You know that everyone was asking to play as the Organization for since Chain of Memories. I personally want to play as Xigbar. The possibilities.

I'm talking about the graphics really. I can forgive a 3D DS games' graphics if the gameplay is good. See: Dragonball Origins

The DS just seems like a better 2D platform.

Meh, I wouldn't judge a game by graphics. Especially this one.
The gameplay looks amazing

I wasn't judging the game as a whole, just the graphics.

You're actually right. It just doesn't seem to be a natural fit on the DS.

If that's what you meant then yeah it looks horrid. Too bad I'm just a graphics freak when it's good graphics. I'm alright w/ bad graphics.

Aesthetics is just part of a game. If the gameplay/story is great, chances are you can deal with your eyeballs exploding.

The graphics do look off, yes, but it's not horrendous. I've seen much worse. What I look for in the Kingdom Hearts games are gameplay; that's why I didn't like Chain of Memories that much.
