Nintendo Direct event to occur on April 21, 2012

Nintendo will be running another "Nintendo Direct" event tomorrow, on April 21, 2012. While there is no word yet about the event occurring in North America, there will be a Japanese and European version of the event live-streamed online. Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance] has NOT yet been confirmed to appear, but since it appeared at the last few Nintendo Direct events in these regions (with about 1 minute dedicated to the game each time), there is a possibility that it will be appearing again, so watch out! If we're lucky, we might even get the European release date for the game, or some English footage. (But again, this is a big if!) The times of the events, and a link to where each will be live-streamed can be seen below. Thanks to the Twitter accounts of Nintendo of Japan and Nintendo of Europe for the tip.

Nintendo Direct (Japan) - 11PM EST April 20, 2012
The Japanese event has concluded. Unfortunately, Kingdom Hearts 3D did not appear (but this is expected, since the game is already out in Japan). It did, however, receive a mention when Nintendo announced some patching capabilities for the Nintendo 3DS. There is a small chance that it may appear at the European event, so watch out!

Nintendo Direct (Europe) - 7AM EST April 21, 2012
The European event has concluded. Kingdom Hearts 3D appeared with the first English footage, including both English text and voices. The European release date was also announced as July 20, 2012.

Kingdom Hearts 3D appears in Nintendo Dream magazine

The June 2012 issue of Nintendo Dream magazine, which released today on April 21, 2012, has included an article on Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance]. The article, according to ArikaMiz, is said to contain an interview with the director of the series, Tetsuya Nomura. It also contains an interview with Yoko Shimomura regarding the music of the game and the series, according to the Game Music Garden. Not much is known yet about either interview, and it is unknown if we will receive complete translations, however, thanks to goldpanner, we know that Nomura has expressed some interest in continuing the The World Ends With You franchise in some way.
