Spoiler warnings will be given when appropriate. Feel free to discuss Kingdom Hearts 3D on our forum.

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!

Oh, the cartridge's gonna look awesome among the ones currently in my 3DS mini-bag (in purchase order, Ocarina Of Time 3D, Super Mario 3D Land, Sonic Generations and Mario Kart 7, in case you were wondering)...

 

It's very, VERY hard to wait like this. SkyEmerald, Xehanorto, I share your pain.

 

didn't they have a bundle for birth by sleep here? it came with a silver psp. i got that so i assumed that DDD will be the same way.

Give the people some time, it is nearly midnight over there. At least I think it is. Besides, we've been waiting this long one measly day won't kill ya. Oh who am I kidding, these last couple of days have been painful for me, I hate waiting.

 

Actually it's 10 pm though that's still pretty late. If it was me, it'll playing thoughout the night...something I might actually do when it comes out xDI know,right? Though the pain of waiting has somewhat dwindled down from what it was during the fall... three or two more months of wait left for us here...

didn't they have a bundle for birth by sleep here? it came with a silver psp. i got that so i assumed that DDD will be the same way.

 

The Birth By Sleep bundle in America wasn't the PSP Japan got though, Japan got a Silver one with decals printed onto the design. The US one just was a Silver one with the game, (and some stickers if I remember right) so they were different bundles.

 

If the Japanese 3DS makes it over though you should be able to trade in your original 3DS towards the bundle, or at the very least trade your 3DS in for some store credit/money to put towards the bundle.

didn't they have a bundle for birth by sleep here? it came with a silver psp. i got that so i assumed that DDD will be the same way.

 

Actually, you are right about that. I probably wasn't paying as much attention because I was too busy playing my Japanese copy to listen for news about the NA release. It would have been a great excuse to buy a new PSP, but I guess I missed it. I like my old hacked psp more, anyway... And, unfortunately, as Tsunamo said, I'm pretty sure it was JUST a silver PSP at a discounted price with decals that you could apply yourself. My friend had a silver PSP and gave me the other set of decals to go on my PSP, except mine was phat and for whatever reason they didn't fit properly. T.T;

 

Still, I'm right with you on wanting a 3DS bundle. It's why I'm still holding on buying myself a 3DS. It will be a very last minute purchase for me if there isn't a bundle confirmed.

Edited March 27, 201213 yr by ssceles

This is so cool. I cant wait to spoil myself! My poor thirst of knowledge

Holy crap, that bundle box. xDDDD

T.T mannnn I wunna know what happens noww

Will you be able to trade your current 3ds for the one in the bundle if you get the bundle?

 

I would if they do the 3ds bundle here in the States

 

the bundle didn't even come with decals! I was so mad. All I got out of that was a silver psp and UMD of the game! Although I did like the box.

if our version gets a Critcal Mode...I'ma have to start saving up for a Jp 3DS.... >____

 

Hopefully...

Impressions... *drools*

 

Yep, I'm this hyped for the game by now.

 

The sad thing about being European is that we get the games last, and there's nobody that "waits to hear impressions from European fans" because we're the last who get their hands on this or that game.

ohh i like the pics a lot (besides the desk one) can't wait to get some news about the NA hopefully soon now ugh i dont wanna spoil myself but its gonna be so hard, i can do it i know i can (hopefully) and square don't you dare add anything extra to the overseas versions of this game, because then you will make a Final Mix of this game and then the fans overseas will be upset again so please just no, no

And the spoilers just keep coming WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Spoilers FTW Baby!!

The sad thing about being European is that we get the games last, and there's nobody that "waits to hear impressions from European fans" because we're the last who get their hands on this or that game.

 

On the brightside though, Europeans and Aussies tend to get exclusive limited editions for games to make up for the long wait.

I hope we get both some videos and info on the american version of the game soon! All this waiting is driving me crazy!

I TOLD YOU THERE WOULD BE SOME COPIES EARLY! I thought I was lying, giving out false info. Sorry, but no. Now, back on topic! SPOILERS FTW!

Oh well this totally ruins my joke.

Lol that's still funny.

 

The box looks awesome!

I heard there might not be a Critical Mode.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand... Nothing's happened yet.

 

Back to eating pork,

 

Well, when we're lucky. When we're unlucky, it's just a removal of the word "bugger" because of its meaning in British English, instead of a full multi-language translation after fourteen years of waiting for an official release. Yes, I'm looking at you, Super Mario RPG.

I TOLD YOU THERE WOULD BE SOME COPIES EARLY! I thought I was lying, giving out false info. Sorry, but no. Now, back on topic! SPOILERS FTW!

I know, I know. But my thread was closed because I posted something that said the game would be out early as false info even though as you can see now, I was right. But I don't care, I just finally can't wait to see the game!
