Hello, everybody!

Thanks to the careful observations of the folks over at siliconera, more information is available concerning the new battle system in Kingdom Hearts Re:coded. Read below:

Kingdom Hearts Re:coded introduces a new kind of meter, the overclock gauge. It's the bar to the left of Sora's portrait.

Attacking enemies increases the overclock gauge and Sora gains new abilities each time the bar fills up. The skills you can access are dependent on the type of weapon Sora exists. Some skills seen in a new batch of Famitsu screenshots include: auto potion, protect, medic, shell, and counter aero.

Sora will revisit familiar worlds, but Square Enix designed them to be different in Kingdom Hearts Re:coded. In this Nintendo DS game, Wonderland is a Space Harrier style shooter. Levels also have new stage gimmicks like the turn based RPG system for the Olympus Colosseum.

In other Re:coded news, the game has recently been added to the Square Enix Online Store. This officially establishes the Japanese release date of October 7th, 2010, as well as revealing a price of ￥5,490 and a CERO rating of "A" for the game.

Finally, thanks to the Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep (EU) Facebook page, we now have the complete list of countries set to receive the special edition of the game: Germany/Austria/Switzerland, Nordic countries, Benelux, Spain, Italy, Australia/New Zealand, Russia and Cyprus. This will arrive on shelves on September 10th, 2010! We'll keep you posted if the special edition makes it beyond Europe.
