Weekend news time! Once again, had other updates planned, but I feel compelled to cover this!

In a matter of days, (Dec 22-23) Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days will be playable to the public! That's right, originally this game was announced to be heading to Jump Festa 08 in trailer only form, but with the opening of its official page it has been confirmed that the game will indeed be playable to anyone who attends the event! The game will be playable in both single player and multiplayer for two-four players. No additional information on just what will be playable was given.

I for one am extremely excited! There will surely be loads of impressions from various sources come Jump Festa time, it will be so compelling to hear everyone chit-chatting about how the game plays! Speculation wise, I would bet that the fact this game is playable means that it is already pretty far in development. After all, H.A.N.D.'s (the team behind this game) last Square Enix game, Chocobo Tales, finished development late last year. Because of this, it is possible this will be the first of the handheld titles to be released, hopefully in 2008!

Below is a translation of the Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days teaser page by our translator Number_IX_Demyx:

Twilight Town: Axel and Roxas gaze at the setting sun, the towers, and the station. Their duty is to serve the Organization and recover hearts from the Heartless. That day, they talk about their duties. "Do you know why the setting sun is red?" "Red is a color of light, far out of reach." "What are you so excited about, Axel?" They lost their hearts by choice out of unselfish concern. This is Roxas's story in the era of Organization XIII.
