After ''Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix'' wrapped development, many different projects were greenlit all at the same time, each being created with handheld devices in mind. While the main team was finishing development on ''Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories'' as well as starting development on ''Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep'' for the PlayStation 2 before transitioning to the PlayStation Portable and ''Kingdom Hearts coded'' for mobile devices, a seperate title for Nintendo DS was outsourced to game | After ''Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix'' wrapped development, many different projects were greenlit all at the same time, each being created with handheld devices in mind. While the main team was finishing development on ''Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories'' as well as starting development on ''Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep'' for the PlayStation 2 before transitioning to the PlayStation Portable and ''Kingdom Hearts coded'' for mobile devices, a seperate title for Nintendo DS was outsourced to game development studio h.a.n.d, with Tetsuya Nomura and Tomohiro Hasegawa stepping in as co-directors. All three games were announced on September 20, 2007 at the Tokyo Game Show behind closed doors. | ||
During pre-production, it was decided that the game should not focus on Sora and should instead flesh out another "main character." Roxas was eventually decided on as the protagonist to both explain his backstory, connection to the organization and his ultimate fate before the events of ''Kingdom Hearts II''. Unlike ''Chain of Memories'' before it, the increased processing power of the DS allowed the game to play much more similarly to a traditional ''Kingdom Hearts'' game, although the team ran into technical hurdles due to the lack of buttons on the system. The team opted to not use the touch screen to further complicated the controls. The logo being a warm red color was made as an allusion to the sunset of Twilight Town.{{fact}} The subtitle ''358/2 Days'' was initially left unexplained until the game released, where it was revealed to refer to the 358 days Roxas spent as an organization member and how Nomura expected the average player to complete the game in 2 days.{{fact}} | During pre-production, it was decided that the game should not focus on Sora and should instead flesh out another "main character."
