358/2 Days is the second upcoming Kingdom Hearts title for the Nintendo DS. This is the story of Roxas, and what happens within between Kingdom Hearts, and Kingdom Hearts II. The story will cover his joining the Organization, all the daily activities, as well as his upset and eventual abandonment of the Organization.
The gameplay has been stated as being of the Action RPG style of the previous installments. Though not confirmed, there has been use made for the stylus in moving the camera left or right. This of course can change by the time the game hits the stores. Most of the gameplay though will use the control pad and buttons.
In addition to the other Organization members, there has been a confimation of a 14th member named Xion (Oni). Though there are now 14 members of the organization, the name remains with XIII. It has been stated by Nomura that the focus of the story will also invlove Xion, as well as explain why the organization remained with the title of XIII. He also has stated the name 3-5-8/2 Days will make sense to the palyer by the end of the game. Other than these bits of information, there is little else known about the plot at this time.
Graphically 358/2 Days looks really good. The game is in a full 3-D enviroment, and the characters, though pixelated to some degree, look as good as their large console counterparts. There also appear to be CG cutscenes which look pretty darn good for the DS. I would say they are tops in the DS cannon.
Roxas has also been confirmed to visit several of the worlds found in the other titles as well. But it is not certain, being in Organization XIII, how many Disney characters he will interact with. It is known to be true that the Beast, Genie, and the White Rabbit have been seen in screenshots. It does seem though, that a lot of time will be spent inside of Twilight Town.
There will also be a multiplayer mode, in which other players can go along the game with you. It has been cited, but not confirmed that you can play any one of the other organization members in the multiplayer mode. It has not been confirmed whether or not the multiplayer will follow the same story as the single player mode, or if it will be something around a series of side missions or unlockable things.
With no bright future in 2009 for the likes of Final Fantasy XIII (2010), the two main installments of Kingdom Hearts should make the wait a little less painful for folks.
When the game is released, I will be able to give a full review of the game, but right now it looks to be a great title.
