Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days screens are here photo

The pompously titled Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days seems to be been in existence since dinosaurs first stalked the Earth. Nevertheless, here are some screenshots of the DS spin-off to Square Enix's beloved Disney-flavored franchise.

358/2 Days is all about Roxas, the "other" hero of Kingdom Hearts 2, and his role in the shadowy Organization XIII. The game intends to further explore the relationship between Roxa and Sora, and also talks about the mysterious fourteenth member of the organization. Just to reiterate -- its name is pompous and silly. 

Square Enix knows what it's doing when it comes to crafting portable games, so this should be a good title. I just hope they have a thesaurus this time, so they don't use the words "heart" and "darkness" 10,000 times per cutscene.

Gay Jokes about the Kingdom Hearts Series?

A DS title with Square Enix's name on it? Nice. A title that is not related to The World Ends With You and is just another contrived addition to a series which takes itself far too seriously, which grows more ridiculous with each entry and has recently suffered from overload of androgynous males? Meh.

DS came out five years ago and developers still can't understand large pictures of portable games make them look worse than they really are

Don't be so hard on yourself. I wouldn't say you were desperate.

My first experience of Kingdom Hearts was watching a friend fight the final boss of the first game. Everyone else in the room started up a tally of how many times he said "darkness," which was at least once per sentence. And the guy loved to talk.

I have no idea why the fact that KH has sold millions of copies has anything to do with the fact that the header image looks like it should be backed by the classic Electric Six song "Gay Bar."

"by putting on the image the words "i wanna take you to a gay bar" u make commenters laugh and hate on the game!i thought this site was to talk about games."

I don't get where jokes automatically equal hatred. Unless you hate gay people. Do you hate gay people? Why do you hate gay people?

do you hate gay people? I would be happy for this game to marry a game like Tingle Rosy Rupeeland

Laugh about the homosexual tendencies of the protagonists all you want, but the game looks fantastic. Square really know how to squeeze every bit of juice from a system.

I guess I'll just have to watch Roxas X Axel yaoi to hold me over until this game gets released. I wanna see Kingdom Hearts 3, damnit.

Wow, the smart people must be up and commenting at Destructoid this morning.

Also, Jim, fix the title--"356/2" should be "358/2".

When Kingdom Hearts first came out, I first didn't think that it wouldn't have a sequel or go any further, boy was I wrong. IT'S DISNEY MIXED WITH FINAL FANTASY FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!!

The Kingdom Hearts series has been shit from day one, I don't see why people love the games so much. Sure, I can understand the nostalgia of seeing all of your favorite Square and Disney characters, even I liked that about the game. But I was wise enough not to allow that to blind me to how utter boring the actual games were.

The combat was boring and repetitive beyond enjoyment. The story wasn't nearly enthralling enough to make up for the gameplay. Oh, and the Gummi Ship levels, the fucking Gummi Ship levels! God, that was so fucking horrible and just ruined the pace of the games. The second one improved them somewhat, but they still sucked. The only cool part was building the ship, but I still dreaded playing those lousy levels.

Kingdom Hearts just sucked from day one, and I never got the love that this series has been given.

Make all unfunny gay jokes in the world Mr. Sterling, Kingdom Hearts was, is and (i hope)will be one of the franchises out there!!

PS: In Kingdom Hearts there is no gay bar, they just make out in public.

Jim, you are absolutely right, the characters in Kingdom Hearts look like they belong in a San Francisco night club, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Where is the straight-to-dvd sequel movie?
Or the animated series on Toon Disney?
Or Kingdom Hearts Verses?
This series has not nearly been whored out enough by Disney <s>and square</s> yet.

@Espada Andy 2: Yeah, man. Jim should really cut out calling Kingdom Hearts images gay. Now CODE GEASS on the other hand. Boy is THAT gay. WOO BOY.

@Trevor McGee: Wait, you hated everything BUT the Gummi Ship levels? Did you play some bizarro version of the game where those are fun? That's the worst part.

"everybody comments on the joke u made and following with a "screw disney" or chars are gay!if i made a joke about metal gear solid everybody would screw me over with their comments."

Flaws in your argument:

1) It wasn't "everybody."

2) The only people who commented on the joke, which wasn't even really a joke, got all butthurt and defended Kingdom Hearts.

3) The people who said KH sucked did not do it because they saw a header image. I am not capable of controlling people's minds with simple images.

Haha you all have to be diaper-ridden Disney freaks to get upset over this.

Over here in this corner, I love Kingdom Hearts, and beat I and II 3 times each. I also played the dreadful GBA card game, and I still think this joke is fucking hilarious.

You guys have probably never heard of Shōnen, or pay attention to Japan's animation habits at all. You know who made that fucking gay fanfic posted above? Probably some Japanese dude that worked on Kingdom Hearts.

I'll summarize the rest of Espada Andy 2's posts:
Jim you stupidz Dinsey made kingdom heartz not evil japanz means that disney wouldnt make fun of gay peoples means its mean because mickey loves aeveryone and no one in disney movies are gay stop it.

I'm going to assume English isn't your first language "Espada Andy 2".

Anybody know how many fags Snake smoked throughout the course of MGS4? How about just in one of the movie-length cut-scenes. How many DRAMATIC PAUSES was he able to pull of because he had a fag in his mouth?
Or maybe the gamer is gay? Staring at Snake's abnormally tight ass for how many hours?

We have already established that Square makes woman-man men, don't be so sensitive, no one is hating on your precious Kingdom Hearts....except those guys that said "Kingdom Hearts sucks!"

I was making a point, by calling him and even possibly the GAMER themselves gay.
I was saying that no one cares, no one thinks I hate MGS4 because of a joke.
But I get the feeling I'm talking to a wall.

I said the Gummi Ship levels were horrible right in my original response. I said that the only cool thing about it was building the actual ship but that the levels still sucked, that's it. FUCKING READ!
