Amazon is discounting several big-named role-playing games, mostly originating from Japan, in their latest “17 Days of Deals in Video Games” deal.
"Some remakes just shouldn't have been made in the first place. If you ever have the chance, don't check out Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop. Probably one of the worst remakes I've ever had the misfortune of seeing. A remake of the excellent 360 version, and built from the ground up for the Wii, Chop Till You Drop does everything wrong. The ability to take photographs was completely removed (which is odd, considering that the protagonist, Frank West, is a photographer...), the amount of zombie..."

Set to arrive this Summer exclusively on PlayStation Portable (PSP), Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep is the latest title in the hugely successful Kingdom Hearts series, which has shipped more than fourteen million copies worldwide."
"Zack Fair, from Final Fantasy VII and Crisis Core, will make an appearance in Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep. Like Cloud Strife, he’s in the Olympus Colosseum. The scan from Shonen Jump shows Ventus and Zack as friends while Zack clashes with Terra.
When Terra (the character who looks remarkably like Zack) and Zack settle their differences they can team up for a Dimension Link attack called “Heroes Pride.” Dimension Link attacks are sort of like summons. You can link up with characters fro..."

While I think Square Enix are getting kind of greedy to be forcing people to buy a book to learn info about their titles I'm sure most fans won't matter. On Amazon Japan a second Cloud book is up, to be released on December 12th, already announced to be packed with screenshots, art and info on all the games and products mentioned below. Let's hope its actually something substantial this time, rather than the tiny fragments we usually get.
With, you guessed it, another Closed Mega Theatre !
... Don't you just love Square Enix ?
Besides the infamous theatre Square Enix will also have demo booths for Dissidia Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep, Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days amongst others. Looking good !

Gemaga has been liveblogging Square Enix's DKΣ3713 Private Party that is currently underway right now, with a bunch of megatons and other news to report (via GAF and other blogs):
Square Enix decided to do something different for their party this year. DK Σ 3713 isn't just a random combination of letters, numbers and symbols. It's actually the initials of all the major games that will be attending The Square Enix Party 2008 ! And those games are :
PS3 :
- Final Fantasy XIII
- Final Fantasy Versus XIII
PSP :
- Dissidia Final Fantasy

- Sigma Harmonics
Next Gen. Mobile Phones :

Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days will apparently be released in Summer of 2008 if the indications in Jump Festa are correct. Roxas seems to have the ability to travel through worlds. Familiar Disney and Square Enix faces will also be in store, as expected.
An interesting sight in the Jump Festa showing of Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days was that of Axel and Roxas being assisted by a mysterious new character. Unfortunately, the identity is still puzzling until now.
Meanwhile, Kingdom Hearts: Birth...
"Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep (PSP)
- Single-Player Adventure Game
- Features: Terra, Aqua, Ven, Master Xehanort, Sora & Riku
- Oylmpus Coliseum & Sleeping Beauty are Confirmed Worlds
Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days (Nintendo DS)
- Single & Multiplayer 3D Adventure Game
- Playable Roxas & Org. XIII Members (Axel, Saix & Xigbar)
- New Characters inc. 14th Org. Member (Female)"
It's not Kingdom Hearts III, but details have been spilled on the whole new series mentioned awhile ago. It is planned to be on the portable systems; DS, PSP, and mobile phones. It is a side-story of Sora's tale, along with a focus on some other aspects such as how Mickey got his key, what happened while Mickey and Riku where in the World of Darkness, and the person that is Roxas. All are exciting places for a story, revealing things that were previously an enigma.
