Kingdom Hearts II hits Japanese shelves

[Soulquarian]

1up.com has an article detailing their hands on impressions...

Seems like I'll have to play through that crappy Chain of Memories game to get the whole story though...

it was on both my kids wish list this season..only to find out its not coming out till march :-(

[Barbaraann]

If it is coming out in March I can definitely buy it for my grandson's birthday. Looking forward to playing it myself.

Knowing Square, we probably will see it later than that...

my kids are 4 years apart...& its the ONLY game they will agree to play together!

I hate the new theme song. Simple and Clean is so much better.

Other then that, totally looking forward to it.

Then again, I'm still waiting for Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children... watching it in Japanese isn't cutting it anymore. If you haven't checked it out though... it's amazing.

Some more little tidbits on it now that it's out:
Scrooge McDuck makes an appearance in the Hollow Bastion town.
And, perhaps the greatest thing everMickey. Is. Playable!

The more I hear about this game, the more excited I get.

According to Gamestop, though, i'm not holding my breath and taking it with a grain of salt, because Square seems to like to hold it back...the release date for them is March 30th, 2006.

That said, I'm really excited! I watched the final battle for the lion king level and, wow...the CGI is just *so* wonderful. Though...Pegleg Pete transformed into a lion version of himself is kind of eerily disturbing. xD
