NA Release Date for BBS + Message from the KINGDOM

Images from the latest issue of Game Informer magazine reveal that the tentative North American release date for Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep will be sometime during June and August 2010.  The images below were taken by a user from the KHInsider forums. Thanks to my dear mishy for the notice!

Also, the official Square Enix blog Message from the KINGDOM has updated a few times over the past couple of weeks and they’ve uploaded a few more animations as well as some screenshots from Kingdom Hearts Coded Episode 8. They also show off some of the staff’s Mobile avatars and list the minigame ranking for Card Game Struggle Daifugoh and Reversi. They’ve also included animations of Final Fantasy XIII characters, go take a look!

Mickey: In order to figure out this mysterious message, I came to borrow your power.
Sora: My… power?

Sora: It’s the same as with Mickey. I don’t know you, but the feeling is familiar…?

Namine: I am Namine. You might not know me… But I know you.

    o/ Good news! This’ll be a great summer.

    Also: LOL. Are they seriously comparing the BBS characters to Star Wars characters there? -dies-

  • Catcat

    You know I’m pretty happy about this :D

  • Kuu

    Actually, a 6 – 8 month gap is a bit long :S
    - Gap between JP and US for KH2: 3 months (December 22, 2005 – March 28, 2006)
    - Gap between JP and US for KH1: 5,5 months (March 28, 2002 – September 17, 2002)

    Of course the game has a lot of content and is fully voice acted (not to forget the lip-syncing). But this localisation is gonna take very long :(. Damn, hate you Final Fantasy XIII which gets all the focus for getting it ASAP outside Japan. KH always comes on the second place…

    AWESOME~! THANKS, OLIVIA!

    I thought the release would be sooner since the voice acting was finished some time before the release in Japan. I guess there is still a lot of content to work on >.< I just hope it's closer to June than August.
