Well every week GameStop sends out it's little news letters to your e-mail. This week, we were graced with this little tid bit.

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days

You'll Always be Somebody to Us

Sora's sacrifice in Kingdom Hearts resulted in the creation of Roxas, Sora’s Nobody. Because Roxas has no recollection of his previous life, you'll have to play through Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, featuring a series-first multiplayer mode, to discover the truth behind his existence. We have a lot of experience being nobodies. So we should be pretty good at this game. Ships for DS this summer. Reserve online now or at your local GameStop.

The link for the game has already been there for a long time on the site and we know how GameStop likes to jump the gun with their preorders and all, however it's interesting that they are advertising it in a news letter this time around.

August? I think that's just the tentive release date, cause games like thar arent usually put out on the 31st of any month. I think it's just speculation.

Either way, I'll save my $5 till we get a definate date xD

Whenever they make a release date on the first or last day of a month it really means it's just a tentative guesstimate.
Though, of course, a July-August release obviously fits with what we've known so far.

I doubt the release date. I think a simultaneous release is more likely. I mean they have been working on VA for the english version since october 08. By spring 09 they should have that finished.

You forget about the translating, and the Lip Syncing. I dont want the lip syncing to look like Re:CoM again :/

Simultaneous Release soooo isn't going to happen.
It's already been made evident that Days won't release until after Q2 in North America.

Re: Pre-Order Your copy of 358/2 at Gamestop

The artwork says "Actual boxart my vary" on the top of the box.

Oh. I should really be more observant. I got so excited that I didn't even look lol.

No. It says on it for "Display purposes only" as in, it's just a temp box they made.

But why did they started VA's in october if they were'nt going to release it in spring 09 for NA?

So that they could release it for July-August? There is a lot of work to the VA and cutscenes. They start it early so they can get it done in time and don't rush it like they did with Re:CoM
Trust me, it isn't going for a Spring 09 in NA.

Well by judging by the pattern we get stuff from S-E it usually a Quarter later. They get it in Spring, we get it in the summer

No thats just a filler until the official box cover is released

But why did they started VA's in october if they were'nt going to release it in spring 09 for NA?

So they dont screw shit up and make revisions if needed. And Im sure voice acting is always done months before games are set for release.

That isn't the boxart.

Re: Pre-Order Your copy of 358/2 at Gamestop

Yeah I doubt it takes that long to do VA. I still beleive a simultaneous release date is most likely.

 

[Audo]

Re: Pre-Order Your copy of 358/2 at Gamestop

It DOES take that long. Plus they like to do it earlier incase they need to go back and re-record some parts.
A simultaneous release isn't going to happen.

no way I'm preordering.

Especially if it's in the summer.

Re: Pre-Order Your copy of 358/2 at Gamestop

Thanks, I was wondering when I could pre-order. But I'm waiting till the official release date.

Meh.. I don't like the release date, even if it IS just temporary. I dn't want to play it nea the start of school....

If it did came out when school starts, I would have no time to play it. Hopefully July-ish.

Re: Pre-Order Your copy of 358/2 at Gamestop

So your telling me that it takes 9 months to do VA. It would'nt take that long for a DS game.

Sorry but it's unlikely.
