Electronic Entertainment Expo 2012 (E3 2012) is a major gaming event in Los Angeles, starting on June 5, 2012 and ending on June 7. Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance] is confirmed to appear at this event, along with the E3 2012 trailer, and most likely a playable English demo and other English footage. Our staff member Oishii will be attending the event and providing exclusive coverage, so please look forward to what she brings us. Lastly, there will be various livestreams of press conferences at the event. You can see the details regarding this below.

Post-E3

2:00PM PST: GameTrailers have updated with two videos for Kingdom Hearts 3D at E3 2012-- a video of the demo, and an interview with Tai Yasue. You can see both of these below, thanks to Terranort9406 from KH13 for the find.

10:30AM PST: Kotaku have conducted an interview with Tai Yasue. You can read this interview below.

Longtime Kingdom Hearts veteran and co-director of the upcoming Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance Tai Yasue told me at E3 this week that he'd love to take Sora and Riku through the wonderful worlds of Pixar's films. As a collaborative project between Square Enix and Pixar parent company Disney, Kingdom Hearts could definitely find its way into a setting like Wall-E or Cars.

 

"Personally—and this isn't an announcement—I would really love to do a Pixar world," Yasue told me. "A lot of us do."

"Any particular favorite Pixar world?" I asked. His answer: Toy Story.

12:00AM PST:Nintendo North America has conducted an interview with Tai Yasue, the co-director of Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance], you can see this here. You can alternatively watch it below.

Day 3 (Thursday, June 7, 2012)

10:03PM PST: Thanks to RPGamerdotcom we now have more footage of Kingdom Hearts 3D's demo at E3. This video is over ten minutes in length and is in 1080p! Do yourself a favour and watch it now!

11:00AM PST: Square Enix Europe have conducted a video interview with Tai Yasue, the co-director of the Kingdom Hearts series, regarding Kingdom Hearts 3D. You can watch this below.

12:31AM PST: Kingdom Hearts 3D's English version will have a "helpful" change after all. The change will fix the problem which occurs when you drop between characters in the middle of a boss battle. In the Japanese version when you return to a boss battle from a drop the boss's health would be completely restored while yours will remain how it was when you dropped. Co-Director, Tai Yasue has told Siliconera that the English version will have this problem fixed. Siliconera says that they will have a longer interview with Yasue post-E3.

Day 2 (Wednesday, June 6, 2012)

6:45PM PST: Kingdom Hearts 3D appeared in Nintendo's Nintendo 3DS Software Showcase with a small talk and new trailer. This trailer is currently downloadable from the Nintendo 3DS eShop in North America, and can also be seen below. The talk re-confirms that a demo will be available on the eShop "soon".

2:00PM PST: IGN have finished talking to Tai Yasue, the co-director of the Kingdom Hearts series, concerning Kingdom Hearts 3D. You can watch a recording of this below. The following quote was particularly interesting:

[Kingdom Hearts 3D] sort of shows a glimpse of the future, I guess. And it ends, I guess, the next one will be, definitely I think Kingdom Hearts III. So, it really precludes Kingdom Hearts III, the console version we're thinking about.

9:34AM PST: Oishii has provided us with even more photos of the event. In particular, this shows that the Meow Wow plush toy will be available during August 2012 for US$34.99.

can you read right up...

Stupid IGN's livestream was only like 5 minutes. And it was just guys talking about it while they showed parts of the trailer

can you read right up...

The livestream was pretty cool, it was nice to hear them talk about the game, even if some of the information was repeat.

That was worthless...

• Only thing we find out is that it's averaged around 35 hours play time

• It was 8 minutes, not 20

• NOTHING new

• Was some guy rambling on about old news with the trailer playing over the top... The trailer that we've seen a million times over now.

 

To think I was hoping for maybe unseen English cutscenes, or at least something worthwhile...

Just pinning all my hopes on the Nintendo 3DS E3 stuff in three hours, now...

The HD remixes better be comfirmed/denied though. I don't think they're true anyway, but until we get a solid 'no', I'm sat here hoping. And it's annoying.

I hate IGN

All I really got out of that was estimated play time of 35 hours and that 3D apparently focuses more on Riku and him overcoming his darkness.

 

Yeah me too wtf...

And 15 minutes before dropping. Although that was probably already announced, but it was new to me.

 

So was k that's all I want to know.

He said that was a rough guess, it depends on what you're doing.
