Square Enix have announced a collector's edition for Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance] in North America, called the Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance] MARK OF MASTERY EDITION. This set will release on North America on July 31, 2012 for a price of US$54.99! It contains the following:

 

- Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance] Game, the seventh entry into the series

- 12 Kingdom Hearts 3D Art Cards with chronicled art from the full series

- 5 Augmented Reality (AR) Cards that unlock rare Dream Eaters

- 360° display viewer for in-game Dream Eaters

- Nintendo 3DS Protector Case specially designed for Kingdom Hearts 3D

Some of the Dream Eaters that this bundle unlocks are Meowjesty, Frootz Cat and Kab Kannon, the last two of which have of course just had their English names revealed from this. A photo of the Mark of Mastery bundle can be seen below. It looks amazing, definitely worth it!

 

Update: The Kingdom Hearts Facebook page have uploaded a large version of the boxart for the Mark of Mastery Edition of Kingdom Hearts 3D. You can see this below. (Click for a much larger image!)

 

Update 2: An Amazon page has now been created for pre-order for US fans. The price is listed as $54.99, a mere $15 dollars more than the game by itself. Thanks to Loki from KH13 for the find.

So, here's my question; which dream eater do you not get- as there are 6 rare dream eaters, and only 5 AR cards

Lol I just knew it!! Must have!

I literally just canceled my pre-order for this. Hope its awesome

So...if I'm still keeping my current pre-order AND pre-ordering this....does that mean I can unlock 2 different rare DE's? *w*

I am waiting for someone to answer this. I thought maybe you can only use the card once and never again.

 

If you think of it, we will have the same card, how would the 3DS know if your just showing it the same one? Unless it has some kind of a unique code for every card that the 3DS can read but I really doubt that.

I'm totally ordering this, I'm glad it doesn't come with a 3DS cause that would make it more pricey and I already have a 3DS. Everything in that bundle is just perfect. I'm going to pre-order this ASAP!

I'm still trying to get a hang of the whole AR thing, so I have no idea. >w<

I have the card but I haven't use it yet, as far as the looks, it is just a card with print. I'm assuming that it is one-time use only. So even if we have two copies of the same card, we can only scan one of em that is just my guess. I hope someone can clear this up though.

 

I am sooooo glad that the NA is a little bit cheaper

So, here's my question; which dream eater do you not get- as there are 6 rare dream eaters, and only 5 AR cards

 

One AR Card allows you to obtain one of three rare dream-eaters (Sudo Neku, Meowjesty or Ursa Circus, the other two can still be obtained, but it has to be by getting rare matierals in-game/streetpass), then there's Fruit Cat, Vacation Seal and Rhinoceros Beetle which each have their own AR Cards, so that comes to a total of 4 AR Cards, so it seems it includes all of them and one that hasn't been revealed yet.

I think the camera picks up a specific colour pattern to tell them all apart from one another, so it basically tells them all apart by the image on the card.

 

Or did I misunderstand the question? If I think what you're trying to ask, you can only use the same card once. The game wont let you have more than one of the same rare dream-eater unless you release/lose your other one in-game.

I looked every possible place so I'm hoping on the day it sells it would be in the store.

Here's where they announced it and what AR cards you get with it, in-case some of you were wondering. Guess it's all of them. (with the 360 viewing stand counted as one)

 

And guys, wait a littlebit for where to pre-order, it was announced only 40 minutes ago, you have to give the retailers a bit of time to put the pages up and put the edition into their databases

the other AR card is so you can look at your dream eaters in a 360 degress and Fruit Cat, Vacation Seal and Rhinoceros Beetle got there english names Frootz Cat, R&R Seal and Kab Kannon respectivly.

 

Yes this is exactly what I have been waiting for and I'm so glad it dosen't come with a 3DS becuase I already have that, now if they have a bundle with a 3DS in it I can tell my cousin and he can get it as well, I am so glad I waited to pre-order, becuae now I can actually get something thats a bundle related Kingdom Hearts thing becuase I couldn't before because the system came with it and I already had the system wooohh can't wait for this July 31st!!! and I'm sure EUR will get this as well, becuase Nomura wants to do something for the other regions as well, lol and this is just like the 10th Anniversary Box that Japan got, only we get the AR cards and not Days and Re:coded, so sweet!!!

You dont even know for sure whether EU is getting this too or not yet you are still gonna bitch and then proceed to immaturely rub the earlier release date in peoples faces ? As if NA has any control over this ? I dont see any NA peeps rubbing this in your face . People , grow up .

 

I wasn't bitching o.O I was just having a little tongue in cheek at the end.

I'm in no hurry to pre-order my copy of the game because I know my local gamestop will have one for me as on countless times they tell me I am like the only one that asks them stuff about the game so I can live without a special edition. I never said Europe was getting it, I just hoped we would get at least something for the anniversary. Actually all I heard was whining that America was getting the game after everyone else when the release dates were announced like it was something we did purposely. But now all is forgotten because look SEoA are giving you guys something, *party* enjoy it and what not.

Special Editions are nice to have for any game especially Kingdom Hearts ones so you can understand why I can stay hopeful.

I just don't understand what you didn't get about my post o.O

lol I know I know, I'm just so excited I can barely contain it.

now all we need is.EU to get something like this lol. hopefully we will. as.then yet again we get nothing lol

I want this now.

Wish I had a credit card...

Aw god dang it, I already preordered the normal copy of the game...wonder if I can get the money transferred to this game.

I bet that we in Europe won´t get anything since we have the game first : D Shame, but still even if they did this in EU as well I don´t think I´d buy it, it would cost too much and I still don´t have the 3DS.

No i dont think YOU are understanding what im posting . Read again . I said you dont even know if you are or not implying that its definitely possible you still ARE .And yes you are whining . Secondly , there were wayyyy more NA peeps saying congrats about the release date than complaining ( including me ). ... So posting that comment was unneccessary.

Aw god dang it, I already preordered the normal copy of the game...wonder if I can get the money transferred to this game.

 

You can always cancel your regular version pre-order and order this one once it becomes available for pre-order.
