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.

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.

The quote I posted above interests me.

Omg, I want that demo already!! We're getting closer to the release date!!

Wow that E3 was a letdown other than the demo. K, go ahead, spend half a firetrucking hour talking about bloody Mario games, then spend two minutes on KH3D with no new content? Yeah right Nintendo.

 

I need the demo right now!

News is still pretty much the same but every day that goes by means we are one closer to the release date.

Soooo.....does that mean the boss won't be at full health when we come back to it? Or that we won't have the hp we had before dropping? o0?

Soooo.....does that mean the boss won't be at full health when we come back to it? Or that we won't have the hp we had before dropping? o0?

 

Hopefully it means the boss won't be at full health, that makes the most sense. I was completely unaware that the Japanese game had this issue, it makes no sense.

The boss will not be at full health when you drop in the english versions. it would be just like when you drop in the middle of a normal battle.

Im happy about this, and glad that there will be a longer interview during post e3. I think it meant tomorrow.

Tai Kasue wants to see a Toy Story world in the future...

omgomgomgomg!

but which movie would be used for Toy Story?

 

and I'm Hard of Hearing, so I couldnt hear much of what he said. was there any new info out?

Who else is glad that they are fixing the glitch involving boss battles

People who want a Pixar title will be happy, the idea isn't entirely thrown out the window.

Important topic: We know that there is going to be a fix on the Boss health bug, but is there going to be a fix on the bug that happens in TWTNW with the unmovable area?

English demo with good audio!!
