Birth by Sleep Final Mix, Weekly Shōnen Jump article.

Birth by Sleep Final Mix, to be released on January 20, 2011, is a special version of Birth by Sleep with extras. One extra is the "Secret Episode", an additional episode in the game similar in nature to the Secret Movie of other games. Thanks to FF-Reunion, you can see more of the Secret Episode in the new Shōnen Jump scan linked below.
Weekly Shōnen Jump (January 15, 2010)

The image above gives us yet another look at the new Secret Episode. You can see from this that Aqua (the playable character) will eventually fight heartless. It is very likely that the Secret Episode occurs after Birth by Sleep. Lastly, the scenario will apparently lead into the original Kingdom Hearts.
Thanks to krexia at KHInsider, the article has been translated below:

The brown box at the bottom doesn't reveal anything new; it's basically just "Hey guys Ven and Terra have exciting stories too."

Nintendo World 2011 coverage.

Nintendo World 2011 has begun in Japan. At this event, the Nintendo 3DS and specifically Kingdom Hearts 3D are to be featured. So far, an information page has been revealed, showing new screenshots from the game. It can be seen below. Also, impressions from various sources, translated by Kingdom Hearts Insider can be read below.
Nintendo World 2011


At the beginning Sora and Riku are looking at the ocean on Destiny Islands, when suddenly, some kind of light comes out of Riku's body and he collapses. In the next instant Riku disappears. Sora runs all over the island calling his name, gliding around to search for him. The scene changes, and Sora is sitting on the island's Paopu tree, seeming like he's dozing or sleeping. The scenes of Traverse Town and the fights that happen there, which were shown at E3, are not shown. The 3D really seems three dimensional, it's amazing! Even the clip looked a lot better than videos on the current hardware. The 3D feels more like it extends deep into the image, rather than jumping out at you. I thought, I want to play KH 3D soon.
+ Sora and Riku are at Destiny Island during a cutscene and they might be watching something fall over the sea. (Not sure on this latter part.)
+ Riku suddenly disappears at one point or exits scene.
+ Sora is seen sleeping on the paopu tree they all hang around.
+ "The 3D is amazing!"

Square Enix have released new details relating to the Re:coded launch event on their Kingdom Hearts Facebook page. Re:coded will be released in North American on January 11, 2011, however the launch event will be held on January 9, 2011. The following was also revealed.
Come to the NYC launch event and get your copy of Re:coded two days before it officially hits the streets, and take home some sweet Kingdom Hearts schwag! We know it's gonna be cold outside of the Re:coded launch event, so we'll make sure there's plenty worthwhile inside Nintendo World. How's a photo booth for starters?
Want another good reason to come to the NYC Kingdom Hearts Re:coded event? There will be a drawing for a chance to win one of five lithographs, signed by Tetsuya Nomura himself! Details to follow!
