In my awesome opinion (yes awesome), the Kingdom Hearts series just seems to belong on a Nintendo console. Maybe it’s the fanboy in me craving this quality franchise, but I really do believe that this franchise will do rather well if it’s on Nintendo based system.

When they announced that the unstoppable DS was getting a game from the infamous franchise, I was elated and could not wait to play this one into the wii hours of the mourning. Below are some fresh new details helping us gaze into what could be one of the DS’s biggest titles this year. Enjoy.
