UPDATED w/Scan: 358/2 Days - May Release for Japan

bittermeat · February 12th, 2009, 08:46 PM

The most recent issue of Jump lists May as the new release month for the Japanese release of Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. I'll get a hold of a copy asap, but I think it's pretty solid.

Update! We now have a scan of the V Jump article listing May as the release date. The scan also features missions with Luxord in Wonderland dealing with the Queen of Hearts.

If we get a simultaneous release, I'll believe in God.
Thanks for the update, bm. :heart:

A simultaneous release? Please, save your breath.
Everybody knows that the Japanese, even if they have the capability to simultaneously release a game, never will, because of their common belief that all non-Japs are completely inferior beings, almost as low as dogs, except with the ability to stand upright. The day we get a simultaneous release from Square Enix is the day I play checkers with Christopher Lee on the moon.

Let's just hope this will be the final delay.

Smile · February 12th, 2009, 08:53 PM

Lucky me I'm not too big on believing in God then, eh?

No offense meant to believers. Those are my own personal views, cynicism and sarcasm.

=D
PLEASE let this be the release date!

Salty · February 12th, 2009, 08:54 PM

I wouldn`t expect a simultaneous release.

Hope there`s no more delays, though.

Smile · February 12th, 2009, 08:56 PM

Wait a minute, possible expected August release for NA? Hot damn. I think I know what I'm getting for my birthday!

Say hi to Christopher Lee for me.

Come to think about it, Chrono Trigger had a simultanious release as well.
The Japanese version had an English mode enabled (it checks you DS's language configuration), and the English version came days afterwards, if not on the same day as the Japanese one.

I wasn't aware that The Last Remnant was released simultaneously in Japan and North America.
But it's already been released, so I'll have to revise my oath: The day Square Enix releases a Kingdom Hearts game simultaneously with North America is the day I play checkers with Christopher Lee on the moon.

But I wouldn't be too unhappy if SE actually releases it simultaneously; I'd have a new game to occupy myself with, and Christopher Lee has always been one of my most favorite actors.

I still say a simultaneous release is very likely. Let's wait and see before dismissing the idea.
