I'd say one for DS or PSP and one for PSP2 or 3DS. Still, who would of guessed after KH2 they would release FIVE handheld games before KH3. Somehow, Square have managed to make the KH series structure more senseless than the KH fiction, a feat I thought impossible.

I'm insulted, and now you're on my shit list.
Find me a more reasonable explanation and I'll reconsider my position!

So is this the *omg shock* title that was being hinted at?

So since Phil Snyder's first work as Cricket was Kingdom Hearts Recoded, and his web page has a picture of his first recording session as Cricket, doesn't that mean this is possibly a picture of Kingdom Hearts Recoded in the background?

Doesn't mean anything though. The cutscenes for Coded were pre-recorded movies rendered from the KH engine (like how they did CoM on GBA, and 358/2 Days on DS). That screen looks exactly like what it looks like in Coded itself, so you can't really tell anything from that.

Damn. And let me guess: Was the bulk of the voice acting located within those pre-recorded movies?duckroll said:

So the voice team didn't see Recoded or Coded as Square probably just sent them a file of the FMVs and the script. Well, it was worth a thought I suppose.duckroll said:

Two more handheld spin-offs? Seriously?
If one of them is Coded on PSP that's not terrible, but goddamn, I love KH as much as... well, not the next guy (since NeoGAF seems to hate it), but you get the idea. And I'm ready for them to push forward with the series. HD, Wii, whatever, just a true KH3.
What loose ends are there to resolve? Do we really need to know what Riku and Mickey were doing during KH1 or whatever?
It's madness!

Who cares as long as they're fun? I really find it hard to believe that anyone actually plays KH games solely to find out what happens next to Sora.
It's unbelievable to me not because I feel the story is contrived and badly written (which I do), but because the people I know who actually do LIKE the KH storyline, care about the worldview and characters in general. So whether a game is a spinoff or a sequel or a prequel, if the story expands on stuff they care about, it's a good thing.
On the other hand, if you don't play the games for the storyline, but for the Disney cross overs and the gameplay, then every game has something new to offer, regardless if it is a "spinoff" or not. So either way, every new KH game is offering something new and different for the different fans of the series. I don't see how that's a bad thing.

I'm not saying spin-offs are necessarily bad - I loved 358/2 Days and Chain of Memories. Still, it sort of feels like they need to, you know, get on with it.duckroll said:

Honestly speaking I doubt anyone these days plays them mostly for the quoted anyway.

Sounds like displeasure with the handheld only focus, although it should be noted to everyone they are quite the money makers.

Yes I know people personally that play them for the plot. At that point I have blank expression on my face as I have them try to even attempt its explanation post part 1. Yes this is indeed how I get my kicks off with some die hard fans.

The plot, I suppose. Especially how a big epic KH3 was teased by both KH2 and Birth by Sleep, and now more side stories are planned. There hasn't been a Sora-based game since 2005. (not counting Coded. that's a virtual Sora anyway)duckroll said:
Maybe the pain will ease once BBS is released in America.
And yes, the KH story is contrived bullshit. That's just how I am. If I became attached to a work-in-progress, I will see it to the end regardless of how badly it deteriorates.

Hmm.
I wonder where this will be in E3.
If its not exclusive, i imagine SE saving it for their presser finale, but if its exclusive, at one of the big three. Handheld, back at the SE conference.

I guess part of my confusion is: do you consider BbS to be a way of getting on with it? Because it's a completely original story, with brand new worlds, villains, etc. While CoM and 358 Days were "reused content" spin offs, BbS is a prequel that is a completely original game - much like MGS3 was.
If you do consider that BbS is "acceptable" as the next KH game, then I don't see why you would complain about 2 new projects, when one of them is by the team that made BbS. Without any announcement being made, there is no way to tell if it will be a spin off, or if it will be a new entry in the KH series proper. Nomura considers BbS a full entry. There could well be another full entry before a "KH3".

Hey, I bought a PS3 just for.....oh wait that was Zone of Ender 3
But as a fellow GS employee you can appreciate that I still have customers that believe Birth By Sleep is KH3 for PS3; ignoring all of the instore signage stating its for the PSP.
EDIT: The rest think that Re-Chained was KH3

I want KH3
If KH3 was made for PS3, I would buy a PS3 immediately. That, or Twisted Metal PS3. Those are the only two games that would make me buy a PS3. :lol

I remember a few years ago, over on the Facepunch forums, there was some guy who was modeling Sora/Roxas for Gmod...and this kid was like, 13 or so. Models were perfectly fine up until he slapped some 12+ dicks on them. Everyone just flipped out and he just went on and on about how sexy they were. The sad thing is, I had talked to him before he showed anyone these, because I had also been doing some models from KH for Gmod(keyblades and other weapons, mainly), and just out of nowhere..dicks. It was hilarious and horrible at the same time. :lol
All i want is Kingdom Hearts 3 for HD consoles. I'd settle for it to be on Wii. They just keep making handheld spinoffs and ports though....and Kindgom Hearts 2 kinda sucked so spinoffs to that aren't exactly desirable. They need to get back to a heavy focus on the worlds and not the emo characters.
Going to go with KH:Recoded for the 3DS within the "launch window" of the console. Nintendo needs to start strong with the new console and gain a lot of traction on it before Sony release a counter in Japan and this would qualify for it here.
Then again, wasnt the DS KH game selling quite poorly? Went almost straight to bargain price here in the UK.
Ah - and when I say Launch Window, it's within 6 months of the launch of the machine, so spring next year.
Either that, or somehow they managed to keep the remake of Coded a secret and its been pegged onto the western release of KH bbs.

Not at all. It did well in Japan and in NPD. KH isn't all that huge in EU though.
Edit: It sold 540k in JP, 750k in NA, and 200k in EU according to SE's last financial report.
syoaran said:
+ 1,5 million for a outsourced spin-off would not qualify as selling poorly, but yeah in europe the ds market is kinda dead since last year.
