358/2 Days was announced alongside Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep and Kingdom Hearts coded at the Tokyo Game Show on September 20, 2007. A trailer was shown in the Square Enix "Closed Mega Theater", a photo-prohibited theater presenting 40 minutes of trailers.[11][3] It is being developed by h.a.n.d Inc. with Square Enix employees overseing the process. The game is directed by Tetsuya Nomura and co-directed by Tomohiro Hasegawa.[5] Nomura mentioned earlier in 2007 that he wanted to do a spin-off Kingdom Hearts game on a mobile platform and that he wanted the game to play slightly different than the other titles already in the series.[12] The development team wants to have gameplay similar to previous Kingdom Hearts titles, but have stated that the number of buttons on the Nintendo DS is a problem. The team is also looking to incorporate Roxas seeing Sora's memories throughout the game and having different types of gameplay for each world.[5]
