SAG-AFTRA strike announcement includes Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue
Come on, man, we all know YouTube comments aren't the best metric for a reasonable fanbase. Any fan worth their salt would look at the long-term situation and put the continuation of a company or the industry as a whole above the release of a single video game. That could just be my optimism speaking in the face of an impatient, childish majority, but I sincerely hope that isn't the case.

[UPDATED] Nintendo Switch revealed: Square Enix present on list of third-party partners, Unreal Engine 4 support confirmed
Nintendo recently released for their new console, the Switch. While there was no footage of Kingdom Hearts III or Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue within the teaser, Nintendo has released a graphic showcasing many of the console's third-party partners, where Square Enix can be seen. Additionally, as shown in the teaser, Bethesda's The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim was showcased extensively, so Nintendo seems to be embracing third-party developers much more than in previous console generations. Update: Epic Games, one of the partners for the Switch, has confirmed that Nintendo's newest console will have Unreal Engine 4 support. This is the same engine used for Kingdom Hearts χ Back Cover and Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A Fragmentary Passage-, and the engine that Kingdom Hearts III is being developed with. Are you excited for the release of the Nintendo Switch? What do you think of the possibility of a future Kingdom Hearts game on the Switch? Let us know in the comments! Click here to view the article

New footage and impressions of Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance HD at Milan Games Week 2016
No more mittens! Yes!

Which Heartless do you most want to return in Kingdom Hearts 3?
Neoshadows! Their design is just so amazing, and it would be great to see them in UE4. That being said, I'd be disappointed if we didn't at least get to see them in 0.2 BBS.

New footage and impressions of Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance HD at Milan Games Week 2016
At Milan Games Week 2016, held from October 14th to October 16th, attendees were able to play through the Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance HD demo. Two sources, GamerClick and Sora's Dream, captured a significant amount of footage from this event. This is the first time we have been able to see a great deal of footage from Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance HD, as was merely thirty seconds long. GamerClick's footage, which was uploaded to their Facebook page, focused on Riku, showcasing the included Dive Mode segment, cutscenes from The Grid, and the lightcycle minigame. GamerClick's footage foregoes any field or battle gameplay within any of the included environments. Sora's Dream, meanwhile, captured footage of Sora in Traverse Town, Riku's aforementioned Dive Mode segment, and footage of Riku within the field of The Grid. The Reality Shift mechanic was also shown briefly during the Traverse Town footage. Sora's Dream also gave their impressions of the demo. They noted that Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A Fragmentary Passage- was not present at the venue, unlike all previous playable demos of Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue. Additionally, the Drop Gauge appears to be entirely unchanged from the original version of Kingdom Hearts 3D Dream Drop Distance, giving a definitive answer to a question that many have had since the release of Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue's TGS 2016 trailer. Interestingly, Reality Shift seems to use the analog sticks to control its trajectory, rather than using the PlayStation 4's touchpad in order to mimic the design of the Nintendo 3DS version of the game. It is worth noting, however, that only one Reality Shift example (Traverse Town) is available, so it is unknown if the analog-focused design choice is applicable to the rest of the game's Reality Shifts. Finally, Flowmotion's speed, jump height, and responsiveness all seem to have been re-balanced to suit this new version of the game. In addition to gameplay impressions, Sora's Dream also gave their thoughts on the game's graphical fidelity. They said that while textures have been touched up to a significant extent compared to the Nintendo 3DS version, model quality has not received the same level of treatment. Citing a poor amount of polygons, they referred to the models as "too sharp", a problem which also plagues Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix HD. You can read the full article here, but keep in mind that Sora's Dream is an Italian Kingdom Hearts fansite, and that translation may be necessary.

Which Kingdom Hearts game do you want a current-gen remake of?
BBS and DDD. Those games have some serious balance problems, but the concepts underneath, particularly the command deck and command melding, are genuinely fantastic. Just tweaking a couple things would fix quite a few of my complaints with them. I'd also accept 358/2 Days, because that game REALLY had potential, but was squandered by the DS format.

Epic Medal Carnival featuring Illustrated Sephiroth and other reversed medals! 10/14-10/27
Ahh, sorry. Should have clarified. She gives +3 ATK for a whole turn, similar to how, for example, the combined Roxas/Axel/Xion medal gives +1, or KH1 Kairi (non-illustrated) gives +2 for 2 turns. It's like that, it just hits the "max" available value of +3 stacks of that particular buff. After that, the only increase you'll be able to get is through element-specific buffs from, for example, Illustrated Sora, Riku, or Terra. And as with the general attack buff, each elemental buff can only hit a maximum of +3.

Naruto is Over! (Technically)
Is it sad that I read that as "Back Cover" at first glance? Methinks I'm a bit too excited for KH 2.8. Regardless, I've heard some fantastic things from a friend about My Hero Academia. Maybe I'll give that a shot while I wait for One Punch Man's second season.

Regarding the end of a shounen era, we've still got Dragon Ball Super to fill the void. It's not all hopeless!

Epic Medal Carnival featuring Illustrated Sephiroth and other reversed medals! 10/14-10/27
I've recommended this to countless players at this point, but I'll say it over and over so that everyone gets the message. You might be interested in getting Illustrated Kairi in a few weeks! She's a must have in JP, since her ability is a max attack buff and Curaga. She's guaranteed to be a game-changer here in international, as well. That's what I've been saving for since she was introduced in JP (with a minor major colossal jewel sink going toward Aqua for TAV). Soon, all that waiting and saving will pay off.
