Square Enix has confirmed a North American release for Kingdom Hearts: Ludicrous Subtitle (AKA Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days), the Action-RPG franchise's first entry on the Nintendo DS. The game revolves around Roxas, star of Kingdom Hearts II's prolonged prologue and one-time member of My Chemical Romance Organization XIII.

Though Square Enix has yet to provide a definitive release date for the English version, players can start looking forward to a series first: a multiplayer mode that allows "players to control their favorite Organization XIII members!" Oh, our favorite? Uh, well ... the one with the spiky hair, ominous coat and largely impractical weapon, obviously.

we knew that was going to happen. but damn. no release date?

"Oh, our favorite? Uh, well ... the one with the spiky hair, ominous coat and largely impractical weapon, obviously."

I laughed at that comment alone.

Isn't that like a description of almost everyone in organization XIII?

Yep, pretty much.

Hey, when is that PS3 KH3 coming? Any news on that? Heh...

 As far as confimations on the KH series, KH3 probably won't come out until they're done with FFVXIII and that'll probably be around 2015

I have a feeling it won't even be alluded to until BBS, which will probably have one of those "secret endings." Theoretically, 358/2 Days could have one too...

!!

Shock.

yeah I was just kidding about KH3. I've had the debate 100 times already, heh. I think they'll start working on it after Versus is done, since that's the guy that made both KH1 and KH2 and Versus is also action-RPG. They are taking forever on those FF games, though...

Anyway, I look forward to these holdovers on the handhelds.
