''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'' was directed by [[Tetsuya Nomura]] and Tomohiro Hasegawa. Nomura decided to develop a game for the Nintendo DS, and once a system had been chosen, decided upon Roxas as the protagonist. The development team wanted to use gameplay similar to previous ''Kingdom Hearts'' games, but could not due to the DS's insufficient number of buttons. ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'' received generally positive reception, with praise for the gameplay and graphics but criticism for its storyline and controls. A [[soundtrack]], various [[light novel]]s, and a [[manga]] series based on the game were released in Japan.
