Hey everyone! It's snowdog here, with some more red-hot info from Jump Festa 2008! As if there weren't already enough fantastic revelations regarding the brand new Kingdom Hearts titles, we have some more information for ya!

This info is thanks to The Light in Chaos. You can find the translated version of the page here. As we have used the handy-dandy Google Translator to, well, translate the page, it's not in 100% perfect English. But, it's enough to understand the info we've been dying to get our mitts on.

Here's a quick summary of the information:

Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days

The blog provides us with some of the controls for the game:

- Arrow Keys - Moving around

- A - Select Command/Attack

- B - Jump; and, along with the arrow keys, special moves including Air Slide, and a two-stage Jump.

- X - Command

- Start - Skip movie

- L - Rotate camera left

- R - Rotate camera right

From what we can guess from the translation, it also seems that there may be a timed challenge. The player has twelve minutes to carry out a mission - the blog states there is a "timer display (12 minutes)" - in Twilight Town. Axel and Roxas appear to be involved, and it seems that XIV makes an appearance, too. It also seems the reward for the mission can be seen when the player pushes Start.

There also appears to be a challenge involving Xigbar firing at things, but the information is vague.

A number of worlds have been seen. They are...

- Agrabah

- Wonderland

- Twilight Town

Details are etchy, unfortunately. We'll let you know more when we find out anything new about it!

Kingdom Hearts: Coded

From what we can understand, there appears to be a scene in which Sora, Donald, and Goofy fall through a dark corridor - along with Pluto. There also seems to be a scene with Riku looking at the moon.

Again, new info is thin on the ground.

Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep

Looks like Snow White features here! From what we can tell, the Keyblade is seen here. Also, there is an enemy, one the blog writer describes to be like a Large Body.

There is also mention of reaction commands, and combo finishes in battle. Sounds like fun!

Also, there seems to be a scene between Yen Sid and King Mickey, but we can't make much sense of the translation...

The Sleeping Beauty world is mentioned. Maleficent has a conversation with Terra.

If the translation is correct, there was no mention of Aqua.

Interesting, eh? Not sure about you guys but it makes me wish I had been there! Just remember, none of this can be one hundred percent certified due to the fact we used a basic translator - there may be one or two mistakes. New information from JF '08 will be coming in all the time, so keep your eyes on KH Insider for the very latest from Japan!
