Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, Tetsuya Nomura interview.

Tetsuya Nomura, the director of the Kingdom Hearts series, made an appearance at E3 2010, the gaming event held in USA earlier. At this event, various parties were able to interview Nomura concerning the English version of Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep. GameSpot have reported about this interview, which makes mention of Kingdom Hearts III, which can be read below. The full interview can be read at our forum.
Question 7: It's been a while since we've seen a new generation of Kingdom Hearts titles. There have been a lot of handheld and mobile version, but no console versions since the PlayStation 2. Are you thinking about making a next-generation Kingdom Hearts? Or do you prefer working on handhelds? TN: All I can say is that if there were to be a Kingdom Hearts III, then it would be on consoles. I have a desire to create this game, but it's just not the right time. I'm under pressure from KH fans, Disney, and Square Enix, and they all want Kingdom Hearts III. I know this, and I don't hide my desire to make this game. The biggest problem we're facing is our main developer on the franchise is busy with Final Fantasy, and the Birth by Sleep team is busy making Kingdom Hearts for the Nintendo 3DS. But we'll do it when the right time comes.

Kingdom Hearts 3D announcement.

The E3 2010 gaming event is currently in progress in USA. At this event, Nintendo announced their new handheld gaming console, the Nintendo 3DS. Square Enix have announced that, for this console, a Kingdom Hearts title will be released. The game has a tentative title of Kingdom Hearts 3D, and features both Sora and Riku in the timeframe of the original Kingdom Hearts. Square Enix have posted screenshots from the game on their E3 2010 website, and these screenshots can be seen below, in our gallery.

A trailer for Kingdom Hearts 3D was featured at E3 2010. Although the public has not yet had access to this trailer, IGN have seen it and reported about their impressions. This can be read below.
The trailer starts off with Sora and Riku sitting out by the starfruit tree on Destiny Islands. Then Riku disappears in a swirling flash of light. Sora calls after him and runs around the island (the game switches to gameplay here). Sora runs through the island a bit, showing off the locale. It looks exactly like it did in the PS2 game. The thing that makes me think it's not a port is that Sora already has the glide ability, which he uses to soar around the island a bit.
The game cuts again and shows Riku waking up Traverse Town (the main hub world of the PS2 game). He goes into a courtyard and is surrounded by a bunch of Heartless. Then he looks up and stuff gets crazy.
The sky starts raining Soras.
No seriously. A dozen unconscious Soras slowly float down from the sky like a cute boy meteor shower.
One of the Soras lands and busts out his Keyblade. The game switches back to gameplay mode here and shows Sora bashing the Heartless. After all the Heartless are defeated a huge soldier Heartless boss rises from the ground. Before Sora can battle him he snaps awake, back on Destiny Islands, sitting with Kairi by the starfruit tree. The camera pans up to the night sky and shows the title screen, Kingdom Hearts 3D.
