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.

Finished the demo. It was, all sorts of feels. <3

 

...Did anyone else get lost in Traverse Town? In the midst of getting the hang of Flowmotion I was like, "Where the f*beep* do I go!? @A@".

As soon as Reggie announced that the KH3D demo was on the eShop, I jumped for joy and cheered like a freakin maniac.

 

The demo's really short though. It's just a tutorial and a tiny piece of Traverse Town. The 3D and graphics are beautiful though, the gameplay's fun, and dat English voice acting (Neku FTW). I wonder if we'll get another demo down the line that has Flick Rush like they said, or if this is it.

Who else watched the European Nintendo Direct ? I can swear I heard Shibata-san say that the demo was available. Or maybe I just wanted to hear it, I'm not so sure anymore...

Who's got the demo now? I dont have 3DS and I wanna know wat happened in the demo!

What world does the demo take place in?

 

Traverse Town part of Sora's Story (No cutscenes besides Sora and Neku's Meeting and the Monkey thing.)

 

I have to say the gameplay feels NATURAL. I did most of my Flowmotion stuff by Complete and utter accident

i went to KH13.com randomly. As soon as i got there i read "Kingdom hearts 3D demo now available on Nintendo 3DS eShop. I jumped up and ran for my 3DS, got my AC charger and turned it on. I then got sad that i needed to charge it up before i download it :\

I got lost. I could have sworn while Flowing around the Town i saw a Chest. Anywho. I found a work around. as long as you don't exit the Demo Your fine. You can play as many times as you like.

Needs more Riku

Yes I agree Fire, they should've included Riku's story in Travese town also, who knows we might get a KH 3D: Riku Demo

Just noticed something new on my second demo playthrough: there's this "Link Portal" thing where you "battle your opponent's Spirits" or whatever. The option for it just came up on the touch screen after I finished a battle. Anyone else get that?

 

I also Spirit Link'd. Riding on Meow Wow's back is so fun. :3

Okay, we get the game 11 days earlier. But so what? Every other KH game, you've got MONTHS earlier than us, so how about you stop using the mere 11 days as some kind of an excuse for all these extras. You guys get the MoM Edition. You guys get the 3 AR cards as a standard pre-order. You guys get the demo. Europe? We get nothing (other than France getting a mere keychain), and Spain and Italy don't even get localisation.

So don't tell me to 'deal with it' 'be patient' or 'shush', maybe stop acting so spoilt and think that other people might actually deserve the same treatment as NA.

 

 

No.

 

Note 'for once'. You guys get it every other time.

 

Yes I'm complaining, NA is being spoilt with KH3D things.

 

I totally agree with you. 11 days earlier "gimmick" is childish and stupid. We just need to sit and wait, while everyone speaks about the demo? i think not. we can complain all we want. ill back you up dude :3xD

I think it was good. Could have been a bit better and longer with having Riku's story and making him playuable. But other than that, it's a good demo. It qill definitely hold me over until the full game comes out.

Still stand by what I said though. Everything else NA has got is way too much.

It was nice. It could've been longer and included Riku's story but this is enough for me to hold out for 39 more days since they gave us 30 tries :3

tutti frutti. My original thought on this, "somebody is leading me on with another topic about the demo that isn't released yet." *goes to eshop to check* OMG! Finally don't have to look at threads wondering when the demo will be out. Looking forward to playing it when I finish downloading it.

(edited)

It was absolutely amazing. :D It could've been a bit longer though. DX

I agree with both of you.

 

Anyway! I was sure I heard Shibata-san say we got it too, I didn't understand why I couldn't find it!
