Wait, Now How Long Was That: A First Glimpse at Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days

Lately it would seem Square Enix is making a run for Konami's title as having the most cryptic game names of all time. It was announced at TGS 2007 that there will be a series of upcoming sequels and spin-offs for the popular game series Kingdom Hearts. As a fan of the series and eventual buyer of the future titles I was intrigued to see Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days featured in the latest issue of Famitsu.
While I was rather unimpressed with the last portable installment of the Kingdom Hearts, this one looks rather promising. It appears to be filling in some of the back story behind Roxas, everyone's favorite secondary hero and nobody. The screenshots show in a number of situations with his old friends Organization XIII. There has been some hinting at co-op multiplayer but only time will tell if that's true.

Magazine scans after the jump.








I'm happy to see Roxas again. He's infinitely more interesting than Sora and I was sad to see him go in KH2.
Haha! That Generator was great! I had a few good laughs. Castlevania: Haiku of Mild Discomfort, I'd so play that one.
Can't wait for the new KH games. This one looks interesting in particular.
Actually, you can see the multiplayer Co-Op in those very magazine scans.
The game is solo Roxas, with the other members of Org XIII being playable in multiplayer. (Also, in bigger versions of those same scans, there are big "1P, 2P, 3P, 4Ps" next to the status bars.
Ooh!
More chance of some Roxas/Axel goodness? I certainly hope so.
