TGS DAY TWO ROUNDUP

Not a lot of news came out from TGS today, but we did get one piece of an interesting update, seen below. Now remember, now that Day Two of TGS is nearing completion that signifies the end of the "Private" portion of the event. For the next two days, TGS will be opened to the public which means that we will get something that I'm sure everyone has been craving for - detailed Trailer and Demo Impressions. They are only hours away now, so we hope you enjoy what we have received for today, and look forward to the next two days!

UPDATED: Added more BBS Demo footage, plus demo/trailer impressions for BBS and Days as well as some small tidbits for Coded/KH Mobile

KINGDOM HEARTS: BIRTH BY SLEEP

• The above video is some footage of Birth By Sleep taken at TGS. It is of the playable demo, where you play as Terra as you advance through the Enchanted Dominion. We hope you enjoy!

• Even more footage thanks to BPtv! The attendee playing the demo talks about how Kingdom Hearts appeals to both men and women, and about the characteristics of the battle system. The button mashing of the past games is replaced with a slightly more complicated and challenging method of attack using the circle and triangle buttons. Also, the Shoot Lock mode is clearly executed. Enjoy the video!

• Even more Birth By Sleep gameplay footage, this time from IGN. While the clip may be short, it is currently some of the best quality footage we have seen thus far from TGS! We hope you enjoy.

• Trailer Impression from Game Watch

  This title takes place 10 years prior to the first Kingdom Hearts. In the closed theater, the names of the mysterious characters that appeared in the Kingdom Hearts II secret movie become clear one after another. One of the characters presented was an old man called Master Xehanort, and though his name is familiar, this is the first time this character has appeared in the series. In addition, the three characters that will play key roles were revealed to be Terra, Ventus,and Aqua. Following the sudden disapperance of Master Xehanort, their story begins. The witch Maleficent who interfered in the adventures of Sora in the first Kingdom Hearts appears as well.

• Demo Impression from Game Watch

  In the demo, Terra and Ventus were playable options. Terra's level was in Sleeping Beauty's world, known as Enchanted Kingdom. Ventus was featured in the Cinderella world, called the Castle of Dreams. The operations are simple and it's easy to enjoy the battle actions, it is less choppy than before. The gameplay also has an impressive sense of speed. The 'command gauge' raises whenever an enemy is defeated, and when it is full especially strong attacks become available. Also, the Shoot Lock mode is now activated by pressing both the L and R buttons, positioning the camera's viewpoint to better attack. The shooting element is strong and especially enjoyable.

KINGDOM HEARTS: 358/2 DAYS

• There is a scene in the 358/2 Days trailer where Xion points a Keyblade at Roxas
• The scene where Riku and Xion talk was also shown
• Trailer Impression from Game Watch
  This title revolved around Roxas and the time he spent in Organization XIII. In the latest trailer, a girl wearing the same black coats as Organization XIII is introduced as Xion. She frequently wonders about Namine's appearance, remarking: "She really resembles me." Concerning the relationship between Xion and Namine, no doubt a new mystery is born into the story. There is also a scene with Roxas, Axel, and Xion standing on the shore of Destiny Islands. It is very reminiscent of a scene of the past Kingdom Hearts series where Sora, Riku, and Kairi were together.
• Demo Impression from Game Watch
  At the demo you could choose between playing single player mode or multi player mode, an option allowing up to 4 players to compete in a battle together. The basic battle system is similar to the conventional Kingdom Hearts series, but now fellow members of Organization XIII join in to fight alongside Roxas.

  In the single player demo, three levels were prepared to try: Twilight Town with Axel, Beast's Castle with Xaldin, and Halloween Town with Xigbar. The objective of each mission is explained clearly, find and defeat the boss. The upper screen displays the characters fighting while the lower screen displays the map. Attributes like fighting alongside other characters and solving tricks defined on points in the map make this a fun new title.
