Sora, Mickey, and company return to DS in Kingdom Hearts RE:coded.

Because you can never have too much Kingdom Hearts goodness, Square Enix is bringing its popular Disney-themed action-RPG series back to DS with Kingdom Hearts RE:coded. An enhanced remake of a game previously available on Japanese cell phones, the adventure focuses on a mysterious message that appears in Jiminy Cricket's journal, and a digitized Sora who explores "datascapes" that re-create many of the famous Kingdom Hearts locales. In typical Kingdom Hearts fashion, the complex story doesn't make a lot of sense, but it provides a fine excuse to bash enemies with your Keyblade and revisit places such as Destiny Islands, Traverse Town, Agrabah (from Aladdin), Olympus Coliseum (from Hercules), and Wonderland (from Alice in Wonderland). Although the environments are familiar, don't expect a straight-up rehash; new puzzle blocks that populate the worlds add a twist to the formula. Square Enix promises that the DS version features controls that are vastly superior to those of the original cell-phone game, along with an enhanced battle system and all-new gameplay content. As of press time, the game does not have a release date.
