Kingdom Hearts Re:coded is an upcoming remake of Kingdom Hearts coded that will be released on the Nintendo DS.[2] It is one of the two titles being worked on by the Kingdom Hearts team, as hinted at in the Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Ultimania.[3]
Synopsis
After the conclusion of Kingdom Hearts II, Jiminy Cricket finds an entry in his journal that he didn't write: "Their hurting will be mended when we return to aid it." [4]In an attempt to learn where it came from, King Mickey turns the journal into data, and creates Data Sora in order to explore it. However, they are mysterious "Bugs" in the data, which seem to be intricately linked to the enigma of the journal.[5]
Gameplay
The gameplay in Kingdom Hearts Re:coded is largely the same as in Kingdom Hearts coded, focusing on the manipulation of Bug Blocks to solve puzzles and reach new areas, but also incorporates the Deck Command system used in Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, which allows players to design "decks" of various combat abilities to use against enemies.
Re:Coded is being developed to allow more fans to experience the game, the DS was selected as most people have the hardware.
- Another reason for the hardware choice is that Coded was developed with the lack of analog in mind. - The story will be the same as Coded, but aside from the event scenes the game will see many major changes. - The game is targeting more casual gamers, and will have an adjustable difficulty setting like The World Ends With You. - The design concept for Re:Coded includes elements from Coded with Birth by Sleep and Days. - The co-director of Birth by Sleep is supervising the battle planning for the game, while the same team will be handling the map design. - The level up system in the game will be an expansion of the ideas from 358 Days - There will be multiplayer elements, including avatars which can be unlocked featuring the characters from Birth by Sleep, as well as Lightning from Final Fantasy XIII. - There will be a secret movie in the game. - Currently 80% complete.

I actually phrased my answer for the Ultimania "two titles other than III" to avoid speculation that we were working on Kingdom Hearts III." / Bryan Vore: "Are there any hints you can provide about these games?" / Tetsuya Nomura: "Hints would give away too much, and for Kingdom Hearts we're contractually obligated to keep any information that has not been officially released under wraps. However, I can say one of the two projects mentioned above came into existence because we wanted to do something for the North American fans, so we'll be announcing it at E3."
