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!

 

Ya folks are forgetting about Chain Of Memories. You know, the KH-themed GBA SP. The only concern, aside for the whole "trade the 3DS for the other 3DS without actually having to buy it", is transferring the digitally-delivered games (3D Classics, VC games, etc), and ESPECIALLY the 3DS Ambassador status provided you have one, to the new console.

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!

 

I may be wrong , but didnt Dchuich specify that it was bc you mentioned a specific friend you used as a source that couldnt be verfied as the reason? At least thats what i gathered...

I heard there might not be a Critical Mode.

 

According to the blog there isn't. Kinda weird to see it was in Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix + Birth By Sleep and Re:coded, (I think, I can't quite remember if it was in Re:coded) if it's not in there I get the feeling the English release will get it along with extra content, and Japan will get a Final Mix with extra content, a repeat of Birth By Sleep again.

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!

 

Sorry, but I had to lol at that typo

But yeah, seems you were right about the leaks.

Re : Coded did have critical..... and LOL@ typo ...that awkward moment when your own typo foils you

Yes, he actually posted on the thread and I PM'd him, but I haven't gotten a response back, so I think he was lying. It was a all a rumor, even though I said that right on the first page. I'm not going to post usernames because it's wrong to do. Sorry, but I didn't lie about anything, there were disclaimers that until I had full proof, expect to wait. It doesn't matter, because we have this thread, which doesn't have any rumors (but sadly, no videos yet!)

That wasn't a typo, it was sarcasm. (*facepalm*)

 

Read it carefully. I meant it because almost everyone used to say I trolled (I actually hate that word!). It's obvious when I say "Sorry, but no.". It's hard to be sarcastic when you type.

Oh my appologys, I assumed it was.

Oh my appologys, I assumed it was.

 

Well it was awkwardly worded thats why. Still funny none the less

 

Dude, start going on a Heartless/Nobody/Unversed hunt in the so-far released games in the meantime.

 

Especially the Unversed in the same section of Radiant Garden where Aqua fights Terranort. You can pause the game where the first bunch appears before you, and say, "Sorry, Unversed, nothing personal, but..." *then you put on your sunglasses* "I've gotta KILL... the time". And then you already know what to do next, un-pause the game and scream...

 

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH

HAPPY 10TH YEAR ANNIVERSARY Kingdom Hearts! (March 28 12:00 AM JPN Time)

 

So, how about it everyone? All for one, and one for all!

 

Thank you SE! For this wonderful game series!

Oh well this totally ruins my joke.

i think i love you right now lol. that certainly woke me up

some pictures from shops in Japan,nothing big but advertising material

 

Am i the only person who doesnt really like the CGI of the characters faces? For some reason they never have visible eyebrows. It bothers me. Random i know ..

 

Aaaaaaaaaaaaand now the wait is even less bearable than it already was.

 

 

As long as you don't mind it, it ain't that much of a big deal.

 

To clarify, CGI renditions of iconic scenes from the series are one of the many things listed in this page: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/AndTheFandomRejoiced/KingdomHearts3D

CAN'T WAIT TO SPOIL MYSELF

Its not that i dont like the CGI altogether .Its just that not having eyebrows makes some of them look creepy LOL

 

There should be something like that - which doesn't mean there IS, but there should definitely be if I recall correctly.

 

You can still contact Nintendo, anyway.

 

 

I agree on that. Japanese players are definitely pro.

 

And anyway, while I bought it on late November 2011 and beaten the final boss the same day, it took until February 2012 for me to reach 100% completion.

OH GOD SO MUCH STUFF

BUT SO FAR THE GAME SEEMS SHORT

HE ALREADY BEAT LIKE 2 WORLDS

 

Don't worry, he's only got to the mid-way point of Notre-Dame, and that's take him about 3-5 hours worth of play. It's not as bad as it seems

@ heyitsdeven (hoping this will pop up under your own commen, this time):

And anyway, while I bought it on late November 2011 and beaten the final boss the same day, it took until February 2012 for me to reach 100% completion in Sonic Generations for the 3DS.

Can't wait! I can easily avoid spoilers, but I don't care. I'm not able to handle knowing that there are people able to play the game while I have to sit in the dark.

So, spoilers... Bring. It. On!

 

Spoiler-hound (like me) philosophy in a nutshell, right there.
