Speculation on Dream Drop Distance

Last year at E3 2010, Square Enix shocked Kingdom Hearts fans by announcing a new game for the upcoming Nintendo 3DS console-- known at the time as "Kingdom Hearts 3D".

So, what do we know about Dream Drop Distance? You can read a short summary of what we know at our forum. However, mostly the plot is unknown. So, we'd like to invite everyone to tell us. What do you think the plot of Kingdom Hearts 3D will be? The best theories will be selected and featured on the front page, so make sure you participate.

Re:coded tops sales chart for January 2011

Kingdom Hearts Re:coded, a remake of Kingdom Hearts coded, has continued to sell well since its release. Re:coded, which first released on 7 October 2010 in Japan, was later released in North America on 11 January 2011.
Recently, sales data of January 2011 in Japan for Nintendo DS games has been released, and according to the NPD Group, Kingdom Hearts Re:coded has topped the chart. This can be seen to the right. Of course, this is good news for the Kingdom Hearts series as it shows that even the minor games prove to be popular and worthwhile for Square Enix.

Tetsuya Nomura discusses Kingdom Hearts on the NGP

Tetsuya Nomura, the director of the Kingdom Hearts series, has discussed the PlayStation Portable 2, otherwise known as the NGP, in the latest issue of Dengeki PlayStation magazine. Currently, Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep is only available in UMD form, and not as a downloadable title, meaning it will be unable to be played on the NGP at launch. However, thanks to translations by andriasang.com, we now know the following.
Regarding a possible Kingom Hearts Birth by Sleep download release, Nomura says that this is difficult for a reason he can't say. The problem is separate from Square Enix, Disney or Utada Hikaru (who sings the theme songs). "I want to do something, but it will take time." Also, "Nomura said that he could not yet talk about his (or possibly Square Enix's) plans for NGP titles." It is possible that a Kingdom Hearts title will eventually appear on the new console, but it is not yet known for sure. What do you think? Be sure to share your opinion.

Re:coded gameplay trailer released

Square Enix UK have released a new trailer for Kingdom Hearts Re:coded has been found. The trailer, available in 720p, shows various game play styles including the command matrix. This can be viewed below and can be downloaded from our video archive.
The fact that this trailer was released in 720p is a good sign, as it further supports the idea that Square Enix will be releasing all future trailers in high definition. Most recently, Square Enix released the first trailer for Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance in 720p. Re:coded released in English regions on January 11, 2011 for Nintendo DS. Make sure to share your thoughts on the trailer.
