Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep
"Birth by Sleep" was directed by Nomura and co-directed by Tai Yasue. It was announced alongside "Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days" and "Kingdom Hearts coded" at the Tokyo Game Show on September 20, 2007, where a trailer was shown in a photo-prohibited theater. New trailers were shown at the 2008 Jump Festa in December 2007 and the DKΣ3713 Private Party, an invite-only event by Square Enix for fans, in August 2008; a playable demo was also available at DKΣ3713. The June 5, 2009 issue of "Famitsu" covered an interview with Tetsuya Nomura, where he said that the game was, at the time, at the voice recording stage. Nomura also confirmed in an interview that "Birth by Sleep" would contain a secret ending like in "Kingdom Hearts" and "Kingdom Hearts II" for the next game in the "Kingdom Hearts" series, which he confirmed to be a main game and the one which Nomura stated would link up "Birth by Sleep", "358/2 Days" and "coded". He also confirmed that a "Birth by Sleep" demo would indeed be playable at the 2009 Tokyo Games Show together with a new trailer. In early October 2009, Nomura revealed that the concept of the Command Board originated from when he was in elementary school as at that time he was very fascinated with board games and even made his own; hence he wanted to incorporate a fun board game into the game.
