Update from 1up

Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep for PSP looks to be a single-player adventure in the vein of the PlayStation 2 iterations, though not “Kingdom Hearts III.” Birth by Sleep’s protagonist was not explicitly named in the presentation, but he looked an awful lot like Zack of Final Fantasy VII/Crisis Core fame.

Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days for Nintendo DS appears to star Roxas from Kingdom Hearts II, but its main draw looks to be four-player simultaneous play using members of Organization XIII. It will be in full 3D.

Kingdom Hearts: Coded is a mobile game, likely for Japanese cell phones. It stars the familiar cast of main characters from the original Kingdom Hearts (Sora & co.) and seems to be set between the first and second PlayStation 2 titles.

Each title is said to have a time-related theme: Birth by Sleep is “the distant past,” KH: 358/2 Days is “time of the other side,” and Code is “time has gone by.” More as it comes!

Update 2 from Duckroll

KH 358/2 Days:

- Begins with the ending of KH Re:CoM, and mentions “the opposite side of time, while Sora was sleeping”.

- The entire game is centered around Roxas, and his time while Sora is asleep, as expected.

- XIII Org game total. 4 player multiplay.

- Ends with “In another 151 days, I will disappear from this world…”

KH Birth by Sleep:

The main character of Birth by Sleep is Terra

- Begins with the the KH ending going backwards to the Opening. “The distant past”, “Destiny is born from the sleeping secret”.

- Takes place in Hollow Bastion.

- Features the characters from the KH2FM+ secret ending, including the old man.

EA Japan announced Populous DS is in development, and will have 4 player wireless play. That’s all the info for now.

Time Hollow is an adventure game. You play as a high school student. The day before your 17th birthday, your dad tells you that he has something important to tell you, the next day. That night, you see a dream. In the dream, you’re a child and you’re surrounded by fire, and your parents disappear. You wake up and the world has changed so that your parents actually disappered 12 years ago, and you also come into posession of a mysterious item called the Hallow Pen. This allows you to open holes into the past and change past events. This is the key to figuring out what happened to make the world suddenly change. The main character’s name is Horo Tokio.

The gameplay system works like this: someone changes the past, causing an incident to occur. You speak to people and find out what changed and what needs to be fixed. By using the “hollow pen,” the main character can draw a circle anywhere in the world and jump back into the past to fix it.

Time Hollow is set for 2008 winter release in Japan
