Kingdom Hearts Coded Suspended?



Finally I have some time so I'll post two posts and the 2nd is the best! So let's get this right:
In the latest press conference, Square Enix's President Yoichi Wada was talking about the development of Dragon Quest IX, but later had bad news. Yoichi Wada brought up the conflict on the mobile games, claiming that production has been suspended on the recent major titles.

In the press conference Yoichi Wada explained "Development of the titles has experienced over 3 billion in loss of appraisal. A review of the development system was performed and determined that the timing is unsuitable for the mobile department to be working on the networking games being developed for major titles, therefore production has stopped."

This bad news can be hard for KH fans, especially since the hype was there at the Tokyo Game Show 2007. Kingdom Hearts: Coded may now be a suspended title, but there's no confirmed information on which selected titles are affected. In the mean time, we'll have to see what actually happens as we get close to the supposedly summer releases for Coded and 358/2 Days.

With all of this negative information at the press conference, do you think that the Kingdom Hearts series could be in trouble?

Roundup News!!!



Let's roundup all the latest news for our titles! First of all let's roundup the news for Kingdom Hearts Series:
Firstly somewhere 3 months before three new titles have been announced Birth By Sleep for PSP, 358/2 Days (It's pronounced Three Hundred And Fifty Eight Over Two Days it was found officially by Xaldin of KH-Vids) and Coded for Cellphones! One month later the director Tetsuya Nomura said that Birth By Sleep and 358/2 Days will be released in summer 2008 in Japan! The news were fewer and fewer but then Xaldin again found a video of 358/2 Days by an unknown source, but the video was only 3 seconds! And from that time 'til now there haven't been any news for the titles just the gameplay buttons of KH 358/2 Days!

And finally many of us believe for a KHIII (or Keyblade Wars, or whatever) but that's just a rumor... I know, I know many will now say 'What about the Secret Endings of KH2 and KH2FM?" I know guys but Nomura said that he just filled these videos to show that he will make a new sequel of the game but not now. He said that he and his team now works for the three new titles and Final Fantasy (Versus, Agito) XIII! So for now don't expect a KH3. These things are official you can see the interview HERE.

Tomb Raider news:
In winter 2007-2008 a new sequel was announced called Tomb Raider Underworld! And nothing more from then just images and renders... oh and an interview for the gameplay! Lara will now be in the ancient temples of Maya! Also Tomb Raider Anniversary released for Mac computers!

Well that's all! I made this because we have our final exams in school for this year so don't expect me or Fastback to add any posts! See ya around 15th June!

  2. Some system messages "Mostly save and load menu,and other messages"
  3. Cards Names "All kind of cards: world,abilities and items"
  4. Location display-Level up screen

And the the things they did not translated are:

  1. Dialogue script
  2. Events
  3. Tutorial
  4. Special card/list display messages
