The lights are on
No more rumors and speculation on the next installment in the Kingdom Hearts franchise. Kingdom Hearts Re:coded has just been officially teased by Square Enix North America. First screen after the jump!
All right, let's begin with all of the information that Square Enix has provided on Kingdom Hearts Re:coded. Below is the first screen of the game followed by the company's brief description.
KINGDOM HEARTS Re:codedDeveloper: Square Enix Co., Ltd./h.a.n.d. Inc.Publisher: Square Enix, Inc. Platforms: Nintendo DSGenre: Action RPGESRB: RP (Rating Pending)Ship Date: TBD Sora’s journey in KINGDOM HEARTS II has drawn to a close, and now a new tale is set to begin. Jiminy Cricket is looking over the journal he used to document his first adventure with Sora when he discovers a mysterious message. He didn’t write it – so how on earth did it get there? King Mickey is determined to find out, so he and his friends decide to digitize the journal and delve into its deepest secrets. Inside this “datascape” dwells a second Sora who is about to embark on a grand adventure of his very own.
Now, as any diehard Kingdom Hearts fan knows, there is an eight-part episodic cell phone game called Kingdom Hearts Coded that was released only in Japan last year. If we go by the naming convention started with Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories (a PS2 remake of the Gameboy Advance original), it's safe to assume that this is most likely a remake of that cell phone series localized in English. We'll know next week one way or the other.

Fvck that sh!t, I want III.
yep its definitely a remake. well it gives us something to play until kingdom hearts 3(square enix is definitely milking the franchise before kingdom hearts 3)
woot
Well I'm glad I get to play this while Versus XIII is still getting made. Kingdom Heart 3 is coming after Versus is finished for those who don't know, as its the same team.
Finally, one step closer to III. May have to break out the DS again for this one.
A second Sora?? I'm a huge KH fan and all, but that just sounds rather redundant.
Lol @ the whiners saying it's not Kingdom Hearts 3.
Appreciate this, because it's a least another game in the series.
why all these remakes. just give us kingdom hearts 3 already. dang you mickey.
WHAT! ARGH! I hate these DS titles that are in between filler crap, just give me KH3!
YES!!! But where's KHIII!?!?!?!?!
Okay, who really cares to play remake of a crappy phone game? Give us Kingdom Hearts III! It's been 5 years!
ive never played Kingdom Hearts before...
Sounds good but I'd rather get three.
Wow they are just wasting their time on a game that won't be that great when they could be working on KH III and probably have it done
For the love of God STOP with this lame unnecessary spinoff crap and just make KHIII !!!!! Just how much *** milk does this cow have?? Birth By Sleep sounds pretty sweet. Following the story of Roxas on the DS was kinda cool (minus the extremely repetitive nature of it) but this is just lame. The new juvenile FF game for DS looks/sounds VERY dull. Just remake FF V VI VII like everyone wants, make a new FF that actually has towns, make a new crono trigger and make KH III. Square Enix was once my favorite. *sigh*
in the time since the last main KH game (Kingdom Hearts II), a series of spin offs/updates were released that included, Final Mix II (Japan Only), Coded (also Japan), Re:Chain of Memories, 358/2 Days, Birth By Sleep, and now the recently announced Re:Coded. SIX KH games now related to Sora's continuing adventures! just give us KH3 already, i'm tired of these side stories!
Awesome. I'm buying it.
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSScore! But I'm still waiting for 3.
to anyone on the fence about this game, the general concensus is that this is the worst KH game in the whole series, the game adds almost nothing to the overall storyline (and that same fact is revealed in Birth By Sleep), and is yet another KH game that will use the SAME worlds over again.
In other words, you're better off getting the the storyline from a wikipedia or asking on a forum, and spending your money on Birth By Sleep, which includes all new worlds, several new gameplay mechanics as well as three new characters with different playstyles, and may be the best KH game yet.
