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.

 

It's not up on their website yet, but you can ask in store of they have the Mark of Mastery edition. It might take them a little while to add it though.

thanks for responding !!

Anyone know if gamestop is having this ?

 

yep they will.

I don't see why people pre-ordering the normal edition of the game would stop its chances of coming to Europe, and all they have to do is change the pre-order to this edition, it really doesn't make much of a difference. And how do you know many people have pre-ordered it? You don't know that for sure.

 

Where have you been the past few weeks? The July 31st date was confirmed by Square-Enix's American branch themselves, it's not a placeholder.

 

For me it seems more normal for a company to release both versions for preorder, and not just one, and some months later a special edition(That's not necessary though ). Also, call me optimistic if you would want, but because it was confirmed doesn't mean it won't change. Changes do happen.

Umm is this for gamestop? cause i didn't see it on the reserves list

Depends on how well stocked the store you go to buy this is. Cross your fingers they don't sell out. owO

 

You should still preorder this. You don't have to pay for the full amount on a preorder. Just put down the minimum amount which is usually $5 or $10 at GameStop and then pay the rest when you pick it up on release.

THANK YOU!!!!!!!

you can move it. but from what i am hearing if you already pre-order the game they can change it to mom ce no charge.

Off to Gamestop!

 

Correction, its $25 down for the collectors edition.

Really? That's odd. It's not like it costs more than a regular console game. And even on the special edition of Skyward Sword I didn't have to put down more than $5.

 

Here are the links for GameStop US: http://www.gamestop....-edition/102045

 

And EB Games Canada: http://www.ebgames.c...-edition/313325

 

It costs $54.99, the same price as Amazon.

 

I don't think they considered an awesomely sweet golden legend of zelda wii-mote plus music disk a collectors addition.

OMG TO GAMESTOP!

Correction, its $25 down for the collectors edition.

 

$25? Arg, I don't have that money right now I'll have to wait until after E3 to see what I have left over...

Anyone know what the black strips of paper are in the middle? Are they just more Art Cards?

you mean the ones by the 3DS protector case, those are the AR cards, if you are talking about the black thing close to the Postcards type thing, thats the thing that holds the Postcard type things lol

Lol I know what Augmented Reality cards are -___- and yes I was talking about the bigger ones in the middle, hence the reason why I said middle.

Ok for those of you who were told that they upgraded your preorder, ( Several people were reported to have been told the same thing besides me ) I had to call around to a THIRD Gamestop to get told yet a different answer . They do upgrade you , but the CE they are talking about is what they are calling the one that comes with the 3 cards but some employees dont know this . Thats why we are getting told its upgraded to the MoMe CE..The employees arent aware of the difference . So please be aware .Im glad i called to get this confirmed instead of what they kept insisting .
