KHU - Latest News http://www.kh2.co.uk/ en-gb CuteNews Tokyo Game Show 08: Kingdom Hearts 3 to be announced? http://www.kh2.co.uk/index.php?subaction=showcomments&id=1220397225&archive=


I wasn’t sure about posting this, but some messages that I received got me thinking that I should just update about it regardless. As some of you may know, the Tokyo Game Show 2008 will be arriving this October.

Right now, I haven’t actually heard any lineups for the Square-Enix games. Although we haven’t got a confirmed list yet, rumors have been going around that Kingdom Hearts: III (PS3) would be one of the featured games announced at the TGS event. With that said, it’s NOT confirmed. Time will only tell…

I should also mention that the Official PlayStation Magazine has announced this rumor on it’s October issue.

[Discussion and Comments]]]> KH: Birth By Sleep - Whose storyline are you most interested in? http://www.kh2.co.uk/index.php?subaction=showcomments&id=1220075477&archive=

For the last two weeks, I have updated on a discussion that became quite surprisingly active! It was all about the new character Aqua and the 14th member of Organization XIII.

Today we are bringing our next discussion/debate to the polls again! This one is based on Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep. The question is:

"Whose storyline in KH: Birth By Sleep are you most interested in?"

There are four options, so make sure you vote. You guys can also have another debate on why you’re interested in that certain character's storyline. All I can say is that Aqua, Terra and Ven will sure bring some intriguing personalities to Birth By Sleep.

Due to the popularity of this new feature, we will now be running a weekly poll. Come back again on Saturday of every week for a new discussion. Next week we'll feature a discussion on the Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days official site.

To vote in our poll, you must be a member at our forums. Once you're a member, just click the link "Discussion and Comments" to cast your vote in.

The Square-Enix: Private Party has given us loads of information, but many of us are still wondering who exactly the 14th organization member is. Not only that, but we barely know much about Aqua. Is there a possiblity that Aqua is the 14th member?

This has been a big concern in our forums. What we know is that both Aqua and the 14th member share some similarities. They both have keyblades and they both have blue hair. Is it me or does it seem like there’s a big connection here?

Usually we don’t have many of these poll options, but maybe it’s about time that the main site interacts more with the forums and gives a chance for a big discussion between members…

What do you guys think? Is the 14th member a totally different character or is she Aqua? To vote in our poll, you must be a member at our fourms. Once you're a member, just click the link "Discussion and Comments" to cast your vote in. Click HERE to register at our forums!

That’s all for now…]]> Famitsu - The Special DKE3713 Volume http://www.kh2.co.uk/index.php?subaction=showcomments&id=1218645149&archive= The cover for Famitsu is featuring a special volume! This Famitsu cover features the characters from Final Fantasy XIII and Final Fantasy Versus XIII. Apparently there's thirty-eight pages of content (Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep, 358/2 Days, Coded and Dissidia Final Fantasy) based from the Square Enix's closed part of the DKE3713 event.

With this new volume coming out, it's very possible to hear some more information that we haven't already heard.

That's all for now...]]> Coded, 358/2 Days, and Birth By Sleep: New Screenshots http://www.kh2.co.uk/index.php?subaction=showcomments&id=1218288611&archive= Square Enix DKΣ3713 Private Party 2008 are a time of new images and information as news outlets finally get to tell us all what was there. Today's update comprises four screenshots from every single one of the upcoming Kingdom Hearts projects - Coded for mobile phones, 358/2 Days for the Nintendo DS, and Birth By Sleep for the Sony PlayStation Portable (or PSP).

The Coded pictures are all set in areas of Traverse Town that should be familiar to players of the original Kingdom Hearts game, and all feature a combination of Shadow Heartless as well as the mysterious debug blocks that are the focus of this game. One particular screenshot shows Sora actually fighting Shadows, where it appears that using directional input buttons allows him to combo his physical attacks together.


The 358/2 Days screenshots are a mixture of in-game quality as well as pre-rendered cutscene quality (which is basically that of the normal Kingdom Hearts series), with us being able to see a shot of Axel and Roxas talking on the Clocktower in Twilight Town, a blindfolded Riku walking away from new Organisation member Xion crouched on the floor, Axel - apparently standing near the Mansion in Twilight Town due to the scenery behind him - looking threatning whilst holding a weapon pointed towards the screen, and finally a battle screenshot where we can see Xaldin and Roxas fighting together on the upper screen, with a map and basic information on the lower screen.


Finally the Birth by Sleep screenshots also show a mixture of cutscenes and battles, only all these would appear to be running from the in-game engine. Our first screenshot shows a conversation between Aqua and Terra, with the second showing Ven (or Ventus to be proper) with one of the Cinderella mice (Jaq) behind him. The last two screenshots are of Terra battling on a bridge leading towards a castle visible in the background which would appear to be that of Sleeping Beauty. These battle screenshots show that at least one of Terra's abilities allow you to lock-on to multiple targets at once for a "Shootlock."


I think its nice to finally have a new batch of such good screenshots for all the upcoming Kingdom Hearts games, and they allow us to see how they're all evolving and developing.

That's all for now...]]> Kingdom Hearts: BBS/Days - IGN Shows Previews! http://www.kh2.co.uk/index.php?subaction=showcomments&id=1217990934&archive= IGN has uploaded a video from the Square-Enix private party that was going on from the 2nd-3rd of this month. In this video, you'll see some previews from the new Square-Enix titles.

The video shows more of Final Fantasy, but the little bit that was shown for Kingdom Hearts, was pretty cool! The gameplay of Axel and Roxas from 358/2 Days is shown. That wasn't the only gameplay that was seen for Kingdom Hearts. In fact the battle scene between Ven and Lucifer in Birth By Sleep was also featured in this little preview. Enjoy!
