held in Makuhari Messe. The new titles are KINGDOM HEARTS 358/2 Days for the Nintendo
DS, KINGDOM HEARTS Birth by Sleep for the PSP (PlayStation®Portable) system, and
KINGDOM HEARTS coded for mobile phones. These titles are currently only confirmed for
release in Japan - release in other territories will be determined at a later date.
In KINGDOM HEARTS 358/2 Days, you will explore a variety of Disney worlds in not only singleplayer
mode, but also in multiplayer missions made possible by the unique networking features of
the Nintendo DS.
KINGDOM HEARTS Birth by Sleep is the tale of a new trio of heroes, told across three scenarios
utilizing the technology of the PSP. Exciting new features will be introduced on
top of the traditional controls, game system, and visual style of its predecessors.
The Keyblade is said to hold phenomenal power. One legend says its wielder
saved the world, while another says that he wrought chaos and ruin upon it.
Long before Sora took up the Keyblade, there were other Keyblade masters. One of these
masters, Xehanort, disappeared one day along with his apprentice. This event proved to be a
foreshadowing of great disaster to come. Aware of the threat, another master ordered his three
apprentices to seek out Xehanort and his cohort.
In KINGDOM HEARTS coded, you will journey through a variety of Disney worlds on an exciting
adventure brought to life by advanced mobile phone technology and gorgeous graphics never
before seen on the platform. This marks the first collaboration between Square Enix and the Walt Disney
Internet Group.
After the events of KINGDOM HEARTS, Jiminy Cricket returned to Disney Castle to organize his
journal. While he arranged his records, his eyes fell upon a page with a mysterious message. However, no matter how hard Jiminy tried to recall the source of the text, he couldn't remember.
So the King digitized the contents of the journal and started an investigation. Within the world
traced from the contents of Jiminy's Journal, a boy awoke on Destiny Island. It was the beginning
of a new quest for a virtual Sora.
