Thanks to the Official Square Enix Members twitter page, we now know the anticipated release date for Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance in North America!

As you can see the release date has been confirmed to be on the 31st of July 2012!

 

That would be nice, especially considering that by now my hopes to see the game released earlier than August have hit the ground. As long as we don't do what Bulbapedia did in 2010, I can live with that.

 

In case you're wondering, following the release of Pokèmon HeartGold and SoulSilver in North America, Bulbapedia turned itself into "Rocketpedia" for one day, as a homage to the famous "Team Rocket's Radio Takeover" part of the original Gold and Silver (as well as - obviously - the remakes). What did they do when the games were released in Europe? They did the same, but with... "Slowpedia". Because us Europeans got to play the game later.

 

Mocking this or that region because they get to play a given game later than they'd like to is just dickery to me.

 

Yes, as you can tell by my other comments in this newspost, overly wide spreads between release dates is kind of a touchy subject to me.

 

 

As long as they don't "pull a Brawl" - http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/RuleOfNintendosReleaseDates_5633.JPG - that's enough for me.

I kind of feel bad for the EU and NA players because after the Japanese release, the spoilers are everywhere and it's hard to avoid them...

Why won't SE release all of them in once and include both Japanese and English on the game?? I mean, will the game still be

fun if you have know all the plots and secrets??

 

It would be great if SE adds an option of switching game voice and language. However, I still prefer the Japanese voice and menu.

that would be nice having the choice.

But the voice acting will be done by Americans so it would make sense to release it in NA and then Europe/Australia.

 

I'm aware o.O America always gets the game before us, I remember waiting 8 months to get my hands on KH2 after it had been done in English.

The game will get released in Europe after America like always so I'm not going to complain, that doesn't mean I can't be annoyed about it . I remember FF13 being released the exact same day in America and Europe so it's not unheard of o.o

but oh well. Yay English release date!

Hecks yes, I'm so happy they finally gave us a release date...I feel kind of bad for spoiling myself so soon now

but nevertheless! we have a release date so everything's good

The NA Facebook page for Kingdom Hearts updated with Character Modles of Sora and RIku

 

Finally a release date, so excited Gotta go pre order now!

technically its a day before august

 

Still it's nice to know that things are wrapping up with the english release of the game. We've got the release date now all we need is the trailer.

Ahem. As an European gamer, I feel the need to kindly inform you that your statement is kind of... misguided to me, to say the least.

 

Take the usual infamous example, Super Smash Bros Brawl.

It's a fact. Sadly.

 

I don't find my statement misguided at all and that example you provided happened years ago. LOL :lol:

 

Remember I did say "lately" as in meaning recently.

 

Here are some of my examples:

An english release DATE?! YES! And,this HAS to mean an english trailer is following! I mean,if their announcing the english release date,they HAVE to be coming out with an english trailer!

 

My apologies, then. However, these recent events simply indicate that Nintendo of Europe (among others) is just trying to make amends for the treatment of the PAL region in the past years, so I don't really see the need to feel cheated out.

An english release DATE?! YES! And,this HAS to mean an english trailer is following! I mean,if their announcing the english release date,they HAVE to be coming out with an english trailer!

YES. Well I guess I could wait a little longer. I suppose 3ish months isn't a bad (officially announced) localization time.
