The battle system is sounding like it's turning out to be quite good. This needs to come out soon.

That is the dumbest title I think I've ever heard.

Both are pretty bad, but Birth by Sleep sounds like a problem with your free translation software.

[pomeroy]

That is the dumbest title I think I've ever heard.

I agree that it's a terrible title, but I still think Infinite Undiscovery is the fucking stupidest title I've ever heard.

This deserves a thread. Making that thread.

Enter Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep’s Multiplayer Mirage Arena (http://www.siliconera.com/2009/09/25/enter-kingdom-hearts-birth-by-sleeps-multiplayer-mirage-arena/) (Siliconera)Team up with Stitch or your friends in Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep. This Kingdom Hearts game also has a multiplayer mode.

In Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep players can don futuristic armor and meet in the Mirage Arena. Items earned while hunting heartless, nobodies, and unversed are carried over into the main game.

The multiplayer mode is designed for ad-hoc play, but you will be able to play over the Internet with Ad-Hoc Party.

Now for the bad news. Famitsu reports Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep won’t wake up until January 2010.

[Wraith]

This is looking more and more like it'll be Summer 2010 here. Hopefully it's not released too close to Valkyria Chronicles 2.

Hey, I've gotten good about that on the PSP, all I really have in there is Crimson Gem Saga, which I should be finishing soon, and Class of Heroes, which I don't even own yet. :p

Persona doesn't count because I still can't play it. :(

[Gorvi]

The commercial for the Japanese release in January:

VJ6LyqI-OU8

That still looks fantastic.

[Purple Santa]

My KH to do list:

1. Finish KH 1
2. Buy/play Chain of Memories
3. Play/finish KH 2
4. Buy/play 358/2 days
5. Lock myself in a room with a supply of food and water for six months so I can accomplish 1-4.

[Gorvi]

My KH to do list:

1. Finish KH 1
You haven't finished that yet? :p
2. Buy/play Chain of Memories
Avoid the GBA version, get the PS2 remake.
3. Play/finish KH 2
Play on Hard, on Normal you can play it in your sleep.
4. Buy/play 358/2 days
And let me know what you think of it!
5. Lock myself in a room with a supply of food and water for six months so I can accomplish 1-4.
You forgot the games, duh! ;)

[Shjinta]

UGGGH all these different KH games on various platforms I don't have.... Lets hope after Versus 13 they go back and make another real KH.

I'm easily distracted so no I haven't touched it in ages. After P4 i'll go back...

I planned on getting the PS2 remake. I hadn't heard nice things about the GBA version.

I might be letting you know sometime in 2011 at the rate i'm playing these games :p

Never underestimate the poor gaming skills I have. Nothing is ever "in my sleep".

Like many game inventories, I can carry infinite amounts of games with me at all times. No worry..when I lock myself in the games are with me ;)

Which one KH or Versus XIII?

[Gorvi]

Which one KH or Versus XIII?
KH maybe, I'm hoping for Versus in 2012. You know, right before the floods. ;)


And Purps, how the hell do you double post 6 minutes apart? :p

[Xerxes]

Bleh... When is Agito coming out. I kind of expect Versus in 2011.

I love being psychic. That'll be 3 games I need to buy in the summer, this, MGS Peace Walker, and Valkyria Chronicles 2.

[Wraith]

Birth by Sleep will not be available on the PSN store? Not cool, Squeenix.

Why the hell is this not getting a PSN release, one of the few full games I'm actually interested in buying.

I knew I'd get screwed on older games for buying a PSP Go, but I didn't imagine they'd screw up new games too. Load of crock.

They pulled the same thing with Dissidia then it came out a few months later. It makes no sense.

[Abyssion]

This game has some weird Monopoly board game in it... It's keeping me from playing the game >_< (It has one way of leveling up skills from the looks of it)

[Abyssion]

Whew! I just beat Terra's story on critical, some of the bosses are damn hard when they can kill you in one combo.

Two more characters to go!

[Abyssion]

I can't be the only one playing this...

I beat Ven's story, last boss of it was a helluva lot easier than Terra's. But I may have just gotten better at the game or had a really good skill set.

Time to start Aqua's story... tomorrow most likely, I have a Micro-Economics test to review for...
