The
Famitsu Website has now confirmed all the details that were posted in
this blog yesterday. Here's a translation of the page:
---------
"Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep" was released in January 2010. This version is "BbS Final Mix", which uses the North American version as a base and has new features added. Here we introduce some new enemies, commands and minigames!
A "Peter Pan" board is added to the Command Board minigame, where you can get new commands or power them up. Neverland is the setting for the board, and you can play against Peter Pan and Captain Hook.
Rhythmic Ice-Cream is a rhythm action game where you try to press buttons in time with the demonstration. A new song has been added to this minigame. In "BbS" you could play 2 songs, but several songs are being added to "BbS FM".
[[TBC - image limit]]
New commands have been added to the Friend Commands you can use in Arena Mode. "Illusion L" is a command that lets you transform into the plant-like Unversed, Lunching Plant. While you're transformed, your commands are changed to characteristic Unversed moves.
With Illusion D you transform into the giant-bodied Diet Tank. This Unversed repels all attacks to its front, and has powerful attacks. But its movements are slow, and it's weak to attacks from behind. Don't get surrounded!
●Battle a giant whale in the ocean!
A new mission, "Monster of the Deep" has been added to Arena Mode, where you can play cooperatively with several players. Here you can fight the giant whale "Monstro" from "Pinocchio". Will you be able to defeat Monstro in this stage out of the first "Kingdom Hearts" title!?
You only have 3 minutes to battle Monstro. If three minutes pass, you'll be swallowed up by Monstro. If you defeat all the enemy Unversed in his stomach you'll be able to escape, but if another 3 minutes pass you'll be swallowed up again. Each time you're swallowed, there's more stomach acid, which lowers your HP if you touch it!

There's also a double-page spread in this week's Famitsu. There's not a lot in the scan that's not said on the website, but it does reveal a little more information about the Illusion commands:
Transform into an Unversed with Friend Commands!
New commands have been added to the Friend Commands you can use in Arena Mode. This time we're revealing two Commands named "Illusion". It seems like there will be more new Illusion-type commands.
Illusion L
With Illusion L, you transform into the plant-like Unversed, Lunching Plant. While you're transformed, your Commands will change to characteristic Unversed moves. So you'll be able to do that annoying long-range move the Lunching Plant does, yourself?!
Attack powerful enemies using your enemies' power!
[screenshots] While transformed, your D-Link gauge becomes the Illusion gauge. When the gauge reaches 0, you return to your previous form.
Commands visible in screenshots: Dig/Resurface, Return. Basic command: Fight. Finish command: Poison Attack.
Illusion D
With Illusion D, you transform into the giant-bodied Diet Tank. This is an Unversed that repels every attack it receives from the front, and has powerful attacks. But its movements are slow and it's weak to attacks on its back. Don't get surrounded!
[top left screen] You're surrounded by a triangular light to transform! You can attack enemies a little distance away with smoke bombs.
[middle right screen] Fully loaded with techniques that really focus on power, like Back Drop and Jet Rush. You can look for a way to get around that's different from normal.
Blow away enemies with your powerful body!
Commands visible in screenshots: Back Drop, Return. Basic command: Smoke Bomb. Finish command: Jet Rush.
