Kingdom Hearts 3D demo now available on Nintendo eShop

A Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance] demo is now available to download from the Nintendo 3DS eShop on North American consoles. The demo is, of course, free and will allow you to play it 30 times in total. It is the same demo that appeared on the Japanese eShop, in English-- so, the demo contains the tutorial, boss fight against Ursula, and the start of Traverse Town, playing as Sora. We'll have videos for you soon.

Update 1: The demo is also now available on the Nintendo eShop in both Europe and Australia. This version of the demo only allows for 15 uses, rather than the 30 uses which are possible in the North American version. Apart from this small difference, everything is the same.

Update 2: We have uploaded the demo announcement video from Nintendo Direct, in HD 720p. You can watch this below, or view and download it from our video archive.

I recorded the cutscene as well. Sorry about the crappy quality.

It was great, I just wish you could play as Riku. And I'm glad you get 30 tries, some games only give you 10!

I was very disappointed... I'm a big fan of the serie but dream drop distance is very lame in my eyes. Hope the full version it's better

It was awesome, spent most of my time getting used to flow motion and reality shift, hope they release another demo but with riku as the playable character

 

also somehow when i downloaded the demo i only got 15 tries not 30 o_O

 

In europe we just have 15 tries not like japan and north america they have 30

The flowmotion is so much fun, though I do wish the demo wasn't so short :l

Only 3 weeks more then it's out, this wait is going to be even harder after being teased with that demo...

Even though, for some reason, it took like thirty minutes for me to actually start playing the Demo... it was worth it! This just makes me even more excited for the game and I'm ready to master my skills twenty-nine more times until July 31. Definitely a great demo for the game minus how short it is. Though the boss took me about five minutes; guess I should get practicing.

thoese portals are all the same its just random ff names thats all it is

This is a vid of the demo, but some parts where just too bright to capture good so sometimes you only see shapes in white. But I couldn't find any other vid of the demo either ;S

so for those who don't have their 3DS yet, it might give an impression.

The controls are exactly the same as the japanese ver. right? they use B to Jump and A to Atack just like all the japanese Kingdom Hearts, that's fine because my latest KH that I've played is BBS Final Mix lol

Yeah I kept pressing B to attack haha. I love the game so far except that with combo it seems like there's so much to try (not that that's a bad thing) that I'm kind of afraid I won't get to try it all and might end up sticking to one combat method the whole game.

Also it's not like I've played the entire game already, but it looks like the dream eaters are kind of cartoonish with their design like the heartless in the first game, which is tottally cool, I just hope the last game has more intimidating enemies like the Nobodies, they were pretty intimidating. Other than that, this game is SWEET.

I was also smiling the whole time, and got it this morning.

I think it could have been Riku you play as, and Sora. As you might've noticed, the Drop bar wasn't there. Otherwise I loved the Demo!

they give you items for your trop gage called balloon it looks cool and osme of the othe stuff you get when they drop stuff is like swirling glowing turds witch is the materaks to make dream eaters i think
