I wish Mickey would slip his laugh/giggle at the end of every sentence, South Park-style.

Honestly, I still prefer the Halloween Town Donald & Goofy from the PS2 version.

They didn't in the original game, it's something they are adding. As you can see from the trailer the Christmas costumes are only on when in Christmas town, in Halloween town they have the same old costumes on.

Not 'adding'. This is an outfit in the final mix version. People outside Japan never experienced their Christmas outfits (as well as another drive form). And it's not like he never wears his Halloweentown outfit revolutionotaku. He'll wear it in Halloweentown. Now we just get his Christmastown outfit too!

and HD remastered cutscenes of the Kingdom Hearts Re:coded Nintendo DS game.
as well as HD remastered cutsenes of Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days.


So, what was actually IN those games? Was it just the handheld scaledown of the existing console game? (As opposed to the card game in Chain of Memories?)

Felt kind of cheated that we were only getting the cutscene "plot" of the Nintendo games, since how much space could it have taken up?
Then again, Chain had already been upgraded to PS2, so it was less work to convert.

As far as Days goes, Square actually did people a favor by just converting the whole thing to cutscenes [though actual battle scenes would have been nice]. That game was a huge chore.

Coded was actually pretty fun and the worlds had different mechanics, like Olympus playing like a traditional Final Fantasy game, but since it's Sora going through the KH1 worlds again, personally I don't see the cutscene route as a bad thing here either.

Oh man, I'm so excited about this one.

I mean, while I was excited to get to finally play Final Mix (which I had wanted to do ever since I got into Kingdom Hearts about 8 years ago, I think, because it was when KH2 had come out in North America, but the Final Mix version of that game hadn't been released yet), I'd already played Re:Chain of Memories (since I own that one for the PS2) and already played and/or seen most of the cutscenes for 358/2 Days (not that I'm thankful to have the cutscenes for that game compiled for me, as while I think those are awesome, as usual, there's just something off about the gameplay in that one).

But this one? I get to play the Final Mix version of 2, which is my favorite game of the series (2, obviously; I've never played the Final Mix version before Laughing ), Birth By Sleep in any version for the first time (I've never had a PSP nor BBS), and watch the cutscenes for Re:coded (which I just got a few weeks ago, but have shelved [partially through] in favor of playing through Dream Drop Distance, which I also got very recently [I plan on finishing it eventually, haha]). I've got it pre-ordered at my local GameStop and everything. Very Happy
