Kingdom Hearts has been one of the most successful, long-running video game franchises. Over the years, we’ve seen dozens of iconic Disney characters flooding the various plotlines, with Square Enix treating every one with the utmost respect and praise that they so rightfully deserve — yes, even the villains! Most of the games in the series have appeared on a Sony platform, though Nintendo DS did get one of it’s own with 358/2 Days. Now, in just a few more days on January 9th, the PSP will receive the latest game, Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep, promising a whole new adventure. The story is a prequel, taking place ten years before the first game on PS2, and features many previously unseen characters and unexplained plot elements from the original Kingdom Hearts series. Looking forward to it? Check out the trailer to see it in action (more… )
