Kingdom Hearts: Re:coded - Details zum Surechigai- und Avatarsystem

Neben einem großen The 3rd Birthday Artikel (hier zu finden) hat die aktuelle Famitsu auch neue Informationen zu Kingdom Hearts: Re:coded (NDS) parat, das am 7. Oktober 2010 in Japan erscheinen wird. Wie schon im Juni berichtet, wird Re:coded die "passive connectivity" des Nintendo DS unterstützen. In Form des Surechigai-Systems, das auch schon bei Dragon Quest IX und anderen Spielen zur Anwendung kam. Dabei werden Spielinformationen ausgetauscht, während das Gerät ausgeschaltet ist. Was ausgetauscht wird, war bislang unbekannt. Dazu hat die Famitsu Informationen, die Andriasang.com ins englische und unsere Partnerseite Shaded-Hearts.net ins deutsche übersetzt hat.
"Das Surechigai-System ist Teil des neuen Avatarmenü-Modus. Hier können eigene Avatar-Charaktere erstellt werden. Das Avatar-System scheint viele Ähnlichkeiten mit dem aktuellen ‘Kingdom Hearts Mobile’-Service zu besitzen. Man wird sogar die Möglichkeit haben, ‘Final Fantasy’-Bestandteile zu benutzen. Sobald du einen Avatar besitzt, kann man mit anderen Spielern ein Profil austauschen. Aber das ist noch nicht alles. Ebenfalls System-Gebietebenen können ausgetauscht werden." heißt es. Kingdom Hearts: Re:coded wird auch auf der Tokyo Game Show 2010 am 16. September vorgestellt.

Tokyo Game Show 2010: The 3rd Birthday und Kingdom Hearts Re:coded spielbar

Square Enix wartet noch bis in den September hinein, bis sie die Liste an vorgestellten Titeln für die Tokyo Game Show 2010 enthüllen. Tetsuya Nomura muss sich an diese Regelung aber nicht halten. Schon in den letzten Tagen teaserte er etliche Titel an. Heute nun gab er via 3rd Birthday Twitter bekannt, dass The 3rd Birthday (PSP) und Kingdom Hearts Re:coded (NDS) auf der Messe spielbar sein werden. Er versprach auch Promotionvideos, welche neue CGs enthalten. Diese werder derzeit aber noch bearbeitet. Beide Titel erhalten zur TGS also ihr öffentliches spielbares Debut. The 3rd Birthday wurde bereits in einer spielbaren Version diesen Monat bei der GamesCom in Köln gezeigt, allerdings nur der Presse. Wir dürfen uns auf jede Menge neue Impressionen freuen!

Re:coded Set for Europe Feb 2011?

Hey, guys! http://l-userpic.livejournal.com/58300350/1198071As a European myself (living in England) I understand the pain of European Kingdom Hearts fans when we get the games in the series later than our American friends (or not at all if you look to Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories). What with the near-release of the Nintendo DS remake Kingdom Hearts Re:coded, I have to say I'm really pumped for the European release of the game which will find its way to our shores some day... or perhaps quicker than we thought?
Over at British gaming chains GAME and Gamestation they've already begun advertising the game and have put a price on it--and more interestingly, GAME has set a 'release date' of February 2011 whilst Gamestation has set theirs to 2010. Personally, I think that Gamestation's is in accordance with the Japanese release, but GAME's is intriguing since it could spell a universally-European release of February. Though these are more than likely to be place-holder dates and have not been officially confirmed, I'd like you to share your thoughts on our forums.

Re:coded Board Game Screens + Debug Mode + Olympus Coliseum

Hey, everyone! http://images.khinsider.com/CodedScreens/08.21.2010.oc3.jpg More screens from the up-and-coming Kingdom Hearts Re:coded today and a Famitsu exclusive it seems! Though we haven't fully translated the article yet we can tell you that like Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, Re:coded has an optional board game which you may play in order to gain new abilities and moves! We also have our first view of the game's debug mode which is used to clear out those pesky bug blocks causing so many problems throughout the game, as well as more shots of Olympus Coliseum where you can see the game's side-scrolling action sequences!

The Making of Birth by Sleep - Animation

Hey everybody!
The latest entry of 1UP.com's Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Developer Blog is now up. Koji Hamada, animation director for the game, details his role in the process below--

An animator's main duty is to breathe life into the characters and gimmicks in the game by giving them movement. This includes everything from crafting the motions for the main, Disney and enemy characters (like the Unversed), to objects like jumping platforms and street lamps that shake when they're hit.

It's intriguing to hear about the slightly more obscure aspects of what it takes to create a video-game, don't you think?

Kein Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep für PSP go


Schlechte Nachrichten für alle PlayStation Portable go-Besitzer und Fans des Rollenspiels Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep von Square Enix: Wie ein Pressesprecher des japanischen Konzerns verlauten ließ, wird das Spiel zwar am 10. September 2010 als UMD im Laden stehen, aber nicht als Download für die PSP go erscheinen. Einen Grund nannte Square Enix nicht.

Knapp ein Jahr nach dem Verkaufsstart der PSP go wird ein wichtiger Titel nicht für diesen Handheld erscheinen. Rechnet ihr mit einem schnellen Ende der PSP go oder denkt ihr, dass man aus diesem Beispiel keinen Trend ableiten kann? Teilt uns eure Meinung als Kommentar unter der News oder im Forum mit!

Kingdom Hearts: Re:coded - etliche neue Gameplay Informationen aus der Famitsu

http://final-fantasy-future.de/cms/plugins/content/mavikthumbnails/thumbnails/107x161-images-stories-news-260910-Kommandomatrix1.jpgDie japanische Famitsu hat in ihrem Onlinemagazin einen neuen Artikel zu Kingdom Hearts: Re:coded (NDS) veröffentlicht, der etliche neue Informationen und Screenshots bietet. Das Spiel erscheint schon am 7. Oktober 2010 in Japan! Der Artikel gibt vor allem Aufschluss über Gameplay-Elemente. So hat auch Re:coded ein Kommandomatrix-System, mit dem man zwei Kommandos verschmelzen kann, um ein noch stärkeres zu erschaffen. Im Kommandomatrix-Menü wählt man Kommandos aus einem Kommandodeck aus. Du kann man zwei Kommandos in die blauen Felder packen. Das Fusionsergebnis sieht man dann im roten Feld darunter. Man verliert so zwar natürlich die zwei Kommandos, aber dafür wird das neue Kommando auch immer eine Art von Bonus mit sich bringen.
Als Beispiel für diese Kommandofusion zeigt Famitsu ein Bild, in dem 'Steigen' mit 'Blitz' zu 'Blitzschlag' fusioniert wird und wie 'Drehsturz' mit 'Sturmlauf' zu 'Blitzschlag' kombiniert wird. Das Kommandomatrix-System darf nicht mit dem Statusmatrix-System verwechselt werden. Dieses wird dazu benutzt, um Soras Fähigkeiten und Statuswerte mittels Platzieren von Verstärkungs-Chips auf einem Brett zu steigern. Solche Chips sind beispielsweise "Level Up", "Block +1" oder "Feuer +1".
Etliche weitere Informationen aus dem Artikel, u. a. auch zur Welten-Auswahl und dem Tag-Mode findet ihr im Kommentarthread.

BbSFM Scans, Screens & Info + Re:coded Scans & Screens!

Hi, everyone. Lots of news for you today, Kingdom Hearts fans! Due to FF sky and TGbus, we have more scans on the Final Mix of Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep which you may talk about here on the forums. I've put them in video form for you below.




Source: FF-Reunion
~♥~ On the topic of screens, you're probably very used to seeing them now; it'll come no shock to you to learn that Famitsu has dished us with quite a few new ones featuring Terra engaged in battle with the fan-coined "Mysterious Figure", new additions to mini-games and, most excitingly, the heavily anticipated figure in armour. Check them out below; otherwise, you can come to our forums and see the translations that our translator krexia has provided! (Thanks to Amoriel for the info.)



~♥~ Thirdly, HEARTSTATION has also posted some info on a recent interview with Tetsuya Nomura, series director, that you may not have heard. Here are some snippets concerning the new additions of the Final Mix, which you may read in full on our forums thanks to forum member KeybladeJ800. Out of the new additions, the biggest is probably the boss battle with the person wearing an Organization coat from the North American version. [...] A number of additional bosses were added. [...] The armored character [is] even stronger than the man in the Organization coat. [...] When Director Nomura played against it, he lost every time; [it's] the strongest enemy of all the additional bosses. [...] As for the additional Secret movie, it’s still secret.
Hm, very thought-provoking indeed? Who is this armoured character and what makes him so much more difficult than the fan-coined "Mysterious Figure", or more simply, the man in the Organisation coat? What's in the new secret movie? We hope to hear your thoughts!



---


~♥~ http://images.khinsider.com/CodedScreens/09.25.2010.HB1.jpg
Welp, with only a matter of a couple of weeks until Kingdom Hearts Re:coded hits Japanese shelves, Famitsu has really been dishing out on the juicy gossip and this time it's in the form of screens! There are 23 this time involving shots of the menu, the System Matrix and even the Scratch Card -- but most excitingly we get to see a fairly thought-inducing image of Bug-covered Riku as pictured above? What's going on here? Who's causing it? Will Riku ever wake up? Tell us on our forums! But of course, we've uploaded the screens to our new YouTube channel for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy!



Thanks go to Famitsu and FF-Reunion.
~♥~ And finally, the Re:coded scans (long update, huh?)! Thanks to FF sky and TGbus we now have our hands on more information on this game; unfortunately it's too blurry to make out but you may look at them as presented in our video below!


As always, you can discuss these scans on our forums! Thanks for sticking with us through this update; I bet your eyes are tired! Until next time, friends!

Re:coded Now ESRB Rated

Hello to all! http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y250/starcutie264/Icons%20I%20made/July%20Batch%202010/th_Coded27copy2.png
Thanks to Just Push Start, we now know The Entertainment Software Rating Board - responsible for the regulation and proper age rating for video games in North America and Canada - have recently finished giving Kingdom Hearts Re:Coded the once-over. Read below to hear what they have to say about the game, and come over our forums to talk about it and a whole lot more!

Rating: Everyone 10+ Content descriptors: Fantasy Violence
Rating summary: This is an action role-playing game in which players control a character named Sora, who must navigate a series of virtual fantasy worlds to decipher a hidden message. Players mostly use magic spells and a large key-shaped sword to strike and slash at creatures and classic Disney villains (e.g., Maleficent, Hades, Jafar). Some levels allow players to engage in top-down turn-based battles or traverse through side-scrolling levels while firing magic spells at waves of flying enemy creatures. Characters react to damage by grunting/crying out in pain or bursting into small orbs.

New KHIII and BBSFM Info!

Hello everybody!
A new interview with Kingdom Hearts series director/creator Tetsuya Nomura reveals some interesting details about not only Birth by Sleep Final Mix, but also the ever elusive title Kingdom Hearts III--

-A mysterious man is introduced.
- This man is not the man in armor.
- As the North American version included new elements, BBSFM will have to match KHIIFM+ in volume.
- In 2 years it will be the 10 year anniversary for KH, and Nomura is thinking he wants to do something to celebrate. However, having KH3 for the 10 year anniversary is impossible no matter how much he'd want to.

Thanks to KH13.com for the translations. Discuss this on our Forums.
Nomura has been busy lately, having added an addendum to the 1UP.com Making of Birth by Sleep Blog. Read it below--

Hi everyone, Nomura again. I hope everyone is enjoying KINGDOM HEARTS Birth by Sleep so far! I’m back for one last blog entry.
Something memorable
When I showed the KINGDOM HEARTS development team in Tokyo the plot for KINGDOM HEARTS Birth by Sleep (something I had put together for the KINGDOM HEARTS team in Osaka) they all told me how much they wanted to make this game.

http://images.khinsider.com/2009-2010%20Avatars/tumblr_l7b10jQtQU1qbnhjfo1_250.pngJust a small tidbit of news. Japanese Famitsu Magazine has already reviewed Kingdom Hearts Re: Coded (Nintendo DS), giving the game a 36/40. For those that do not know, Famitsu magazine has four individuals review each game out of a score of ten, and adds them all together to make a total score of forty. This would give Re: Coded an average score of a 9/10, which is excellent news! We'll have more details, including the breakdown of the four reviews, and the details themselves, soon.

Kingdom Hearts: Re:coded - kein Secret Movie, aber einen Secret Talk

Heute twitterte Nomura mal wieder ein wenig und verlor dabei auch ein Wort zu Kingdom Hearts Re: Coded. In diesem stellte er klar, dass das NDS-Spiel kein Secret Ending oder Secret Movie besitzen wird, sondern ein "Secret Talk". Dabei handelt es sich um eine kurze Szene, ein kurzes Gespräch, welches eine wichtige Bedeutung für die Zukunft haben soll. Kingdom Hearts Re: Coded erscheint am 7. Oktober in Japan für den NDS. Einen Termin für Nordamerika und Europa gibt es bis jetzt noch nicht, doch hat die USK das Spiel schon getestet.

Kingdom Hearts: Re:coded - Release in Deutschland am 14. Januar 2011

http://final-fantasy-future.de/cms/plugins/content/mavikthumbnails/thumbnails/124x181-images-stories-news-061010-Announcement_01.jpgSquare Enix hat heute Kingdom Hearts: Re:coded (NDS) offiziell für Europa angekündigt. Leider wird der Titel aber nicht mehr vor Weihnachten erscheinen, wie viele Kingdom Hearts Fans aufgrund des zeitigen USK Tests hofften. Vielmehr müssen wir sogar noch bis zum nächsten Jahr warten, denn Re:coded erscheint am 14. Januar 2011 in Europa und Deutschland.
Kingdom Hearts Re:coded setzt nach dem Ende von KINGDOM HEARTS II ein und bietet ein aufregendes neues Abenteuer: Jiminy Cricket wirft einen Blick in das Tagebuch, in dem er sein erstes Abenteuer mit Sora dokumentiert hat. Plötzlich entdeckt er darin eine mysteriöse Nachricht, die er nicht selbst verfasst hat und deren Geheimnis er und König Micky unbedingt entschlüsseln möchten. Bei der Lösung dieses Rätsels erlebt der Spieler ein Wiedersehen mit verschiedenen Charakteren bisheriger KINGDOM HEARTS-Spiele. Durch neue Spielmechaniken und der Möglichkeit seinen Avatar nach den eigenen Wünschen zu gestalten, ist KINGDOM HEARTS Re:coded ein weiteres farbenfrohes und äußerst unterhaltsames KINGDOM HEARTS-Abenteuer.
Die gesamte Pressemitteilung und weitere neue Screenshots von heute findet ihr unter Ganze News Lesen!

Über KINGDOM HEARTS Re:coded:
Story
http://final-fantasy-future.de/cms/plugins/content/mavikthumbnails/thumbnails/134x200-images-stories-news-061010-Announcement_05.jpgKurz nachdem Sora seine zweite Reise beendet hat, durchblättert Jiminy die beiden Tagebücher, die seine und Soras Abenteuer schildern, als er eine mysteriöse Nachricht entdeckt: Ihr Schmerz wird vergehen, wenn Du zurückkehrst, um es zu beenden. Um das Geheimnis der Nachricht aufzudecken, beschließen König Micky und seine Freunde das Tagebuch zur weiteren Analyse zu digitalisieren. Erschrocken stellen sie jedoch fest, dass es in der Datenlandschaft im Innern des Tagebuchs von Programmfehlern nur so wimmelt. Sora, als Teil der noch fremden Datenwelt, erhält nun die Aufgabe, diese Programmfehler zu beseitigen, indem er sich in ein neues Abenteuer stürzt.
Features
Die Entdeckung einer bislang unerzählten Geschichte - Mit KINGDOM HEARTS Re:coded, dessen Handlung nach KINGDOM HEARTS II einsetzt, kann der Spieler zu seinen liebsten Disney-Welten zurückkehren. Spektakuläre Attacken und mächtige Magie. Das beliebte Kommandodeck von KINGDOM HEARTS Birth by Sleep kommt auch in KINGDOM HEARTS RE:coded zum Einsatz. Dadurch sind über 100 verschiedene Combos wie Angriffe und Heilzauber mit einer einzigen Taste ausführbar.

However, we now know that the game will be released in America on the same day as confirmed by the American Re:coded site.

Not much is on there at the moment but fans from European countries such as the United Kingdom, France, Spain, Italy and Germany will be pleased to know they can access the site and check for updates.

So mal wieder paar News.

3D Interview + Re:coded Ultimania + Sales Figures + Site Revamp!

Hi, guys! http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii142/stories_end/eyeofthestorm.png
Four bits of news collated over the last few days for you here. Most importantly is an interview with Tetsuya Nomura in Nintendo Dream on the subject of Kingdom Hearts Re:coded and Kingdom Hearts 3D, posted by the lovely ReBirth Wings. While one of our translators is working on the full thing, here's a passage about Kingdom Hearts 3D by Key to Truth! ☆ The atmosphere in KH3D will be different from other titles. ☆ There will be new worlds. ☆ Re:Coded's ending and BBS' secret movies give hints as to what Sora has to do in future titles. ☆ KH3D will be close to how CoM had a story for Sora and Riku, but it's not like they are going to be separated in this adventure. ☆ Nomura wants to add three new "elements" to KH3D, things that wouldn't be possible to do on any console other than Nintendo 3DS. ☆ Nomura is thinking about more titles apart from KH3D.
Next up is the Re:coded Ultimania! Bent.co.jp give us this piece of news; while there's a summary underneath the Ultimania's cover, it's only a summary of the game. I'm sure most of you by now know Re:coded's plot to some extent.
http://www.bent.co.jp/main/news/20101021.jpg http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii142/stories_end/crush.pngAs you know, Re:coded made its debut in Japan on October 7 2010, which is two weeks ago to the day. It's done amazingly well in terms of sales figures, competing with the insanely-popular Pokémon Black and White whose sale figures were a shocker to be sure. Overall, Re:coded grabbed the fourth place as 4Gamer reports with over 31,000 units sold this week! Take a look at the link above to see how well it did against other games.
http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii142/stories_end/onestepclosertotheedge.pngLast but not least, the Japanese Kingdom Hearts portal site has been completely revamped, and it appears that the individual sites for the individual games that the site links to have also been updated, too! It's been almost a decade since the first game's site was dusted over, so it's nice to see a nice new polish on everything. Is this a sign that Kingdom Hearts will continue for many more days? We hope so! Check it out here!
Thank you for staying with us! You can check out the full interview and read the other pieces of news right here on our fantastic forums!
Due credit for all the news goes to FF-Reunion; of course, we can't forget the creator of the gorgeous avatars used above, LiveJournal user faintscribbles. Adios!
