# Summary
An in-between story in the *Kingdom Hearts* titles that retells parts of the first game, but gives Sora and Riku new plots to explore outside of their memories. It's all very *Kingdom Hearts*. The battle system is a deck building, realtime fusion that I found very engaging.
# Acquisition
Bought at a local game shop to celebrate getting into the journalism program at my college.
# Memories
I remember seeing a guy in Walmart playing this near the checkout and having my mind blown that Kingdom Hearts was on the Game Boy Advance.
I was surprised to see a complete in box copy at a local shop and definitely used my pending graduation as the excuse to buy it. I haven't played this version though. Those memories will be found in the Kingdom Hearts RE:Chain of Memories entry.
