Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance] is releasing tomorrow in Japan. Our coverage of the game begins now. This news post will remain pinned at the top of the homepage, be regularly updated, and contain links to all images, videos and information surrounding the game. Spoiler warnings will be given when appropriate. Feel free to discuss Kingdom Hearts 3D on our forum.

7:57AM EST: The first image of somebody playing Kingdom Hearts 3D has appeared online, from an unknown source. Thanks to Sora- from KH13 for posting the image on our forum, you can see this below.

8:32AM EST: Our first images of the box containing the Kingdom Hearts 3D Nintendo 3DS bundle have appeared online, thanks to an auction listing on Yahoo. You can see these below.

6:47AM EST: While Kingdom Hearts 3D has not yet been officially released in Japan, there have been some reports of people purchasing the game early. One 2ch user has uploaded a photo of the game on their desk, showing that there have been early sales, and implying that we'll probably start seeing some videos very soon. Be excited!

So I just saw the ending, and all I can say is this:

 

Nomura, your trolling level has officially gone god-tier.

 

But either way, I still enjoyed it. Seeing Sora with those silly glasses and everyone eating cake (mustnotmakeportalreference) was really cute. I also love how Lea all of a sudden has a keyblade, with everyone going "WHAAAAAAA-", and he's acting all cool >w>.

Just a tip guys, but you may want to avoid playing proud mode. YMX is broken as all hell and he's just as hard if not harder than he was in BBS. I can't even imagine someone beating him on critical mode.

Nomura has definitely trolled the game, the game was a joke, I can not believe that the leak is true, has been a huge mindfiretruck.

there is always a way. i wish this game comes to the PS3 or the PS4 including KH3.

I love that Sora tackled Riku twice in the ending for no reason, and Sora seemed happy about everything.

so will sora become a keyblade master or he can beat MX the way he is?

O.o That final boss is look pretty hard...I dont want to imagine that fight in critical mode....

he wasn't the final boss

So it turned out to be true, for shame was hoping for something better, however i dint see it all, did ventus show up in nightmare armor at all?

I'm starting to think that YMX is simply YMX and he's from a different time line all together and traveled forward in time to accomplish something. I mean I don't know how else to explain who else he could be. He's not Isa, he's not MX, so who in heck is he?

 

Nomura and his damn mind screwing games lol.

Ok, question, I've seen the ending, but I haven't seen the secret ending! Do you guys know what happens in it?

No. Everybody is waiting for someone to beat it on proud mode and crimmyice is the closest, but he's having a lot of trouble beating YMX. The one that did beat it was playing on beginners mode, so we have to wait for someone to beat it on proud mode. Nomura did say you could see the secret ending in beginners mode this time, but you probably have to d extra things to be able to see it.

has anyone upload the ending to youtube yet? plus you can still get secret ending in normal mode right?

Am I the only person who thinks the ending is utter bullcrap? I mean, <i>come on.</i> Some of it I can see, like Sora not becoming a master yet, but Lea becoming a keyblade bearer? Really? Nomura can do so much better than this. :

 

I'm on the ven part of the vid and just read the comments. This comment makes me want to say WHAAAAAAAAAAA!? and does sora pass or not??

 

what was that thing that looked like ven in soras heart?

Saw the ending. Here's my theory about being back in Traverse Town. Sora retakes the exam since dream eaters only appear in the dream realm. I really glad that Sora isn't sad at all that he didn't become a master . Perhaps the secret ending will show some ending of Sora finishing the exam the second time around o:?

wait,wait,wait,waitWAIT ONE MINUTE!?! did riku pass and not sora!?!?...if so....WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

We still need to see the secret ending, the normal ending says 'Nort has remade the Org in his own image, Riku passed, Sora is doing it again, Lea has a keyblade (this is fan service, nothing more) and Kairi is still doing nothing.'

what is nort?

what is nort?

 

Short for Xehanort

Short for Xehanort

 

y not MX?

Well with MX making all those Norts we need all the keybladers we can get so Im all for Lea getting a badass looking keyblade he just got. Plus,the chances of him being playable for KH3 are even higher now . Lea saved Soras ass and even faced off with his own childhood best friend Isa ( epic scene btw ).He has been through a lot and quite frankly proved his strength of heart .He deserves one IMO

and i saw Ventus in the ending it looked like as if he was about to stir.

Hmm ok then

 

Riku is keyblade master.

Sora failed.

Lea is now a keyblade wielder.

Sora goes on a journey on his own.

Xehanort is/was trying to make more of his self.

 

Hmm still questions are to be answered.

And what is possible next for the series.

I mean still have to save the others.

Xehanort needs to be stop for good.

And besides that how many other keyblade wielders are out there.
