Famitsu's latest interview with Series Director Tetsuya Nomura has been cycling around through one medium or another, whether it be  word-of-mouth or straight from the scans. However, they certainly didn't disappoint when the interview hit the web this morning! Hidden away within the text was a very particular piece of information that we're sure you'd be pleased to see!

On July 30th, the first of the two KINGDOM HEARTS II omnibuses will be released in the United States, then the second will follow on August 27th.

Last week's issue of Famitsu Weekly covered all of the newest game announcements at E3 2013 like KINGDOM HEARTS III and FINAL FANTASY XV, and contained a Q & A interview with KINGDOM HEARTS series director Tetsuya Nomura where he discussed the possibilities of playing as Riku and Kairi in the long awaited title, the "Kingdom Shaders" created to give each world an authentic Disney look, and more.

As what must surely come to no surprise to anyone, Square Enix is found among the list of developers and publishers set to appear at this year's Tokyo Game Show. This year in particular, all eyes and ears are kept open and alert on the lookout for two illustrious titles confirmed to be featured by Tetsuya Nomura: Kingdom Hearts III and Final Fantasy XV. However, last year's surprise announcement of Kingdom Hearts -HD 1.5 ReMIX- lingers on our minds, and we sit at the edge of our seats wondering if the second remaster, hinted in the credits of the first, will make its debut.

The KHInsider Site Staff is happy to announce we have a Graphics Update for the month of June! The team was giddy with excitement over the release of the announcement trailer for Kingdom Hearts 3, and the Graphics Team pounced on the opportunity to deliver the goods!

As we previously reported, Kingdom Hearts Keychains were reported back in March to be coming into production. Fast forward to the end of June and we finally have more details on them!

If you are a big plushie collector or just think Square Enix makes fantastic products, you'll want to check out the new KINGDOM HEARTS plush coming out this September! Back in November 2012, Nomura revealed designs for a new KINGDOM HEARTS plush line for the hit series, Meow Wow being the first to release and the Shadow Heartless being the second. The third one to join the line is the Dusk Nobody from KINGDOM HEARTS II!

Square Enix has stayed true to their promise of consistent releases of information after their announcement at E3, and today is no different. Director Tetsuya Nomura was recently interviewed by Dengeki Playstation, and while most of the details are of things we've previously been informed, there are a few new tidbits hidden away, if you know where to look!
