May/17/2010 - Birth by Sleep Official Release Date and Cast List

Picture
Thanks to a SE press release, we now know the official North American release of Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep
The games is to be released on Tuesday, September 7th, 2010.
True, it's a little disappointing after the pretense of the game's supposed Summer release, but at least we have official confirmation of the upcoming title.


Not only that, but the press release also confirmed a very interesting, star studded cast list, that surprised us all.
Of course the obvious choices of Jesse McCartney (Ven) and James Woods (Hades) were listed, along with a couple new voices to the Kingdom Hearts universe.


Willa Holland from Gossip Girl has presumably been casted as Aqua. But the two most exciting cast members are Mark Hamill and Leonard Nimoy. 
Thats right, Luke Skywalker and Commander Spock are now apart of the amazing voice acting that the Kingdom Hearts franchise is famous for! The VAs have not been matched to their parts yet, but I believe it's safe to say that Hamill and Nimoy have been cast as Eraqus (or possibly Terra) and Master Xehanort respectively. 


These cast additions have heightened the excitement and anticipation for the release of Birth by Sleep and we will keep you posted on further updates.

Feb/10/2010 - KINGDOM HEARTS Birth by Sleep: Possible NA Release?

Picture
After a month since the release of KINGDOM HEARTS Birth by SleepGame Informer has announced some sort of release date time for North America. Although, it's nothing to brag about, the release time frame has been said to be around June-August 2010

Wait, what? It takes a PSP game to take five-seven months to just translate and obtain English voice overs? If you guys remember, in October and November 2009, we confirmed that the voice actors were currently recording. 

KINGDOM HEARTS II, a huge title that made it on the PlayStation 2 was announced in North America a week of two after the release in Japan. The game was released three and half months later.

So, what's going on? If anything the release dates are getting worse then previous times. How's that possible? Is North America waiting for Europe again? 

Fell free to discuss. Also check out the scans above for more information.
Also what do you think? Do you think the long wait will cause any commotions in the community?
