Hey everyone! So, earlier Xaldin reported that KH2: FM+ will include a theater mode. Well, now we have more information on it! After beating the game, this new option appears. It allows you to watch all of the cutscenes, in English or Japanese. It is reported that theater mode will also be in Re: CoM, but it is not confirmed. Also, a Japanese blog user posted pictures of a new KH2: FM+ Magazine advertisement. What's so special about this one? It's a pop up ad! (Man, I really wish we could've gotten something like this!) The clear part in the middle is even detachable, how awesome is that? Sources: Tomo and FF13 Vids
The KH2: FM+ boxart has been revealed! It features all of the characters. What do you think about it? Thanks Mike for the 411!
A more positive note compared to Darky's. xP The most recent issue of Electronics Gaming Monthly includes a little tease about Kingdom Hearts 2: Final Mix+, giving it a release date of Fall 2007. You can view the scan below. Weather or not you consider EGM to be a valid source or not is completely up to you. This in no way confirms a North American Release for Final Mix, but our chances do seem to be getting higher, because this is not the first magazine to report this! Thank you .:Mega:. from KHInsider.com for pointing this out!
I'm a little excited about hearing this. Let's hope it's true. In their most recent issue, PSM listed their favorite games of 2006. Kingdom Hearts 2 appeared as number seven on the list (hoorah!) and PSM included a little surprise in the magazine. "Get set for more Kingdom Hearts... and we're not talking KH3. Square-Enix is taking their Game Boy Advance game, Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, beefing it up, and bringing it to the PS2 in full 3-D. It will be included with a special "Final Mix+" of Kingdom Hearts II, and is expected to come Stateside, though no date is announced." Sources: HeartlessNobody and Tomo
According to USA Today, Kingdom Hearts 2 is around second-third place for most copies sold in the United States! That's phenomenal, as its only major competitor seems to be Madden NFL and Mario. Now, I'm no expert, but Square-Enix should really pay attention to the fact that Kingdom Hearts does better in America then it does in Japan, and release KH2: FM+ here! You can see the full list below. 1. Madden NFL 07 (PlayStation 2; 1.8 million+ sold) 2. New Super Mario Bros. (Nintendo DS; 1.5 million+ sold) 3. Kingdom Hearts II (PS2; 1.5 million+ sold) 4. Gears of War (Xbox 360; 1 million+ sold) 5. Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter (Xbox 360; 913,000+ sold) 6. Final Fantasy XII (PS2; 895,000+ sold) 7. Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories (PS2; 860,000+ sold) 8. NCAA Football 07 (PS2; 849,000+ sold) 9. Madden NFL 07 (Xbox 360; 826,000+ sold) 10. Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day!/ April (Nintendo DS; 792,000+ sold)

According to an English translation of a German translation of a Japanese interview (god help us...) with Square Enix's Tetsuya Nomura, 2007 is going to be a busy year for the man. GeManga recently interviewed the man behind many Final Fantasies and learned that the coming year will see the release of five titles with which Nomura has a hand or two in. Those titles include Kingdom Hearts 2: Final Mix+ for PS2 (dated for a March release), Crisis Core for PSP, Advent Children Complete for Blu-Ray/PS3, Subarashiki Kono Sekai (otherwise known as It's Wonderful World) for the Nintendo DS, and one other game whose title was not mentioned. Nomura went on to comment that although he would like to bring out the early PS3 titles, they are still very early in development. From his point of view as director of Final Fantasy Versus XIII, things are moving slowly, but the slow pace is unavoidable because necessary software (likely refering to the White Engine) is not yet finished. He does, however, hope to show off the game sometime next year. Nomura also mentioned in the interview that he liked to think about possible uses for the Wii controller. Sources: FFRepublic, QJ.net

Here is a quickie! Livejournal user Kowaiki has posted a picture of all the SE Christmas Cards. (Thank you so much!) Some are similar to posters we have already seen. CLick the thumbnail below to enlarge. Also, our affiliate KH-2.net has gotten final tidbits on Jump Festa 07' including gameplay information. KH2:FM: • During a boss battle with Marluxia, Marluxia will use an earth attack. • During your battle with Roxas in TWTNW, Roxas will not just have 10 + health bars and be faster than you, he can also glide and have these nobody marked shape swords protecting him. There are about 13 of these swords, or so, from what the blog user can make of them. • Some of the worlds look extended. • This is in relation to the org. member coming into a room, sits on a chair (or throne), and the entire room lights up. The shapes that the light turns into are in the form of nobody insignias. Also, the room looks like a room from the Castle That Never Was. Re:CoM: • There's a cutscene of Riku and Zexion talking to each other. Riku:"If I go through this door, maybe I can erase the darkness in me..." • A cutscene of Sora and Namine, when Sora finally found her. • The music from CoM is remade for Re:CoM. Once again, thank you KH-2.net! The information itself came from KH-Information. That about wraps it up. Edit by Xaldin IGN also seems to have updated their Kingdom Hearts page, though it is nothing special, it's basically what we already know, just in flashier words XD anyways, you're able to view it Here and for all you lazy people or slow internet connections...
Is Xaldin hogging all the fun? xP A third blog poster, going by the name of Jade, has posted up their experience at Jump Festa! They have provided pictures of the event, and their own impressions on the event, including their speculation for Kingdom Hearts 3. Once again, thanks Jade! Jade's Kingdom Hearts 2: Final Mix+ Information Jade's KH3 Speculation What do you think? Do you agree with Jade that this means that by next year Kingdom Hearts 3 will begin development? Or will this be a completely new KH Game?
