In an interview with Japanese gaming magazine Otona Fami, Kingdom Hearts coded's senior planner Jun Kato talks about his personal wishes for the game's future. Though this by no means confirms the game's release in the west, it gives us hope that the game will be brought to us in the future. Take a peek at the English translation:
"When asked about the future of the game, whose last episode has been out for a few weeks, Kato apparently confided his desire to be able to put the game to a larger audience, given that relatively few people can play coded on its current platform (NTT DoCoMo phones). Alas, it's not easy to understand what he means by that, whether it be that he wants the the game to be more available on a real console or simply on other phone models.
We don't usually relay rumours that go around, but this rumour is too interesting not to be mentioned, especially since the source that it comes from has been proven reliable on many occasions. In fact, this Japanese blog (note: currently under maintenance) reports that the latest issue of Otona Fami (which is basically Famitsu magazine for those aged between 20 - 30 years) has an interview with Jun Kato, senior planner of Kingdom Hearts coded. Don't go making conclusions too early from what he says, even if it does give us hope.

If Kingdom Hearts coded had to be on a console, the PSP would seem like the most obvious choice. Perhaps, moreover, for a Final Mix of Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep? Whatever the weather, the chances of coded coming to the West one day seem a lot higher than previously thought. We can only hope that will happen, but once again, there's nothing definite in Kato's words."
