Kingdom Hearts Re:coded

Kingdom Hearts Re:coded is included as a cinematic, non-playable retelling of the events of the game. It includes 3 hours worth of high definition versions of cutscenes from the game, which was originally released on the Nintendo DS, approximately 2 hours of which are new scenes.

The story takes place after the events of Kingdom Hearts II, and follows the discovery of Jiminy Cricket's journal, which has two entries written by unknown people.

Development

The backgrounds and textures of Kingdom Hearts II had to be adjusted to account for the change of ratio from a standard 4:3 ratio to a widescreen 16:9 ratio. Additional imagery was also added to the menu screens and the Gummi Ship area due to the shift in aspect ratios.
