Square Enix has confirmed that Kingdom Hearts 3D will be released in Japan on the 29th of March. Plus, there will also be a “Kingdom Hearts Edition” of the game which comes bundled with the original design you see above. There will also be a “Kingdom Hearts 10th Anniversary Box”, but we’re not sure what this include. In addition to all of that, the first batch of games will have an augmented reality card included with them. This allows you to “unlock a rare Dream Eater that would otherwise be difficult to unlock through standard means.”

    how come loyal fans who buy systems day one get the regular looking one, but people who wait a year get the cool looking ones?

    1. LadidaRdam

      Maybe they think we suck? I have no clue….

    2. It’s only a decal. I’m sure if I owned one of those 3DSs for a week, I’d stop caring for its design.

    3. DrunkEnShadow

      where i live they use to say the good things needs time to come

    4. Gosh

      What are you, stupid?

    5. Areuto

      Were ambassadors we got our chance

    6. ABEzilla116

      DrunkEn Shadow live is Mordor, where hot is cold, up is down, and everybody likes Nickleback.

    8. epicgameturtle

      So it is even, we get to play it first then shove it in their cherries. And after they get the special ones we have more games after we built up our library. 8)

    9. Ttimer

      I really didnt want to buy a 3DS when it came out b/c i dont have $$ and i wanted to wait for KINGDOM HEARTS because i knew they would do a SPECIAL EDITION 3DS!!!!!!!!!:DKH

      score: 1 for me :D

    10. Keyblader

      I wanna trade my old 3ds for this awesome design but with all the same stuff on it. It looks so cool!!

  2. Red_

    I so want that augmented reality car :D

    1. Shuga

      I also want an Augmented Reality CAR
      Imagine all the posibilities D:

    2. Zack

      Oh my god, then I can drive on the freeway while playing AR Shot… …On the freeway >:D

    3. Gosh

      Even if we don’t get the card (don’t see why not), someone’s gonna scan it onto the internet anyway.

    4. Xarreno

      ^Just thought of that. EVERYONE GETS A RARE CARD!!

      *Crowd Cheers* *Whistle sounds*

  3. joseph

    watch, america will get stickers O_O

    1. MINECAR

      We always get stickers haha One thing we will definitely be getting is that AR card.

  4. Free of Birth

    Can’t it be some other color than black? I mean come on..

    1. Fan C. Son

      Same. The Zelda edition should have been gold like the Wii remote with Skyward Sword.

    2. Zack

      No way. Black is da best. Black is so badass, it’s not even a color.

    3. Zack

      You know what they say… Once you go black, you’ll never go back.

    4. Zeem

      Micheal Jackson begs to differ.

    5. Kenn

      Actually if u look more closely, it is actually a gray color, just a very dark one.

    6. Lance

      Zeem: Technically, no, he never “went” black.

    7. Michael Scott

      if your getting technical then technically the black 3ds isnt black at all its just a dark grey

  5. M. Edgeworth

    Gotta import this

  6. Mr Emcee ClapYoHandz

    i can make my 3DS look like that. just need a marker

  7. juzrice

    this better come out in Australia or someone’s gonna get a hurt…. real bad

    1. Zack

      I got a shovel.

    2. ABEzilla116

      A translation for those Aussies that didn’t understand what juzrice was talking about:

      pɐq lɐǝɹ ˙…ʇɹnɥ ɐ ʇǝƃ ɐuuoƃ s’ǝuoǝɯos ɹo ɐılɐɹʇsnɐ uı ʇno ǝɯoɔ ɹǝʇʇǝq sıɥʇ

      You’re welcome.

  8. PokemasterKam

    Comes out on my birthday. :)

  9. MINECAR

    Wish these Kingdom Hearts systems released outside of Japan, I coulda killed for the PSP one, but as records show, that’s just another Dream… … Drop, Distance

    1. zebraguy447

      I could’ve sworn they announced it for North America a month ago or so.

  10. I’m Crying inside..

    1. Han

      Gross

    2. Zack

      Awesome. If you explode you should put it on YouTube.

    3. Total911

      Idiot… Everyone knows when you cry on the inside you only pee it out.

  11. Mezut360

    must buy

  12. Shuga

    29 MARCH?
    Does that mean we will have the game in north america not too far away from March?
    I bet June or July i cant wait!!!

    1. Aero53

      Birth by sleep came out like 8-9 months in other regions after the Japanese January launch.
      If they continue with that unfair wait and my estimation is right, we’ll be getting KH 3DS in December/Jan 2013 ;.; …

    2. vakundekel

      They were able to release 358/2 days after 4 months and re:coded after 3 months, so my guess is july.

    3. but i remember when birth by sleep came out they had no plans for a worldwide release yet but this one is confirmed. thats why i dont think it will be so long this time

    4. Belinni

      It’s because they dubbed the game very late in it’s development. Square Enix and Disney like to make the mouth of the characters match the words they say you know?

      Either way, SE mentioned they were dubbing this game as they went so the release date would be much closer than BBS was.

  13. Flamingprinter

    I hope it is a “Kingdom Hearts Edition” of the game. lol, we all make mistakes, but overall good article and I get the point. The 3DS looks pretty cool too.

    1. Total911

      XD

  14. Alisha

    It’s most likely the rest of the world will get a release date closer to E3, during E3 or after E3.

  15. Faisal618

    THIS LOOKS AWESOME!! But I already bought a 3DS on day 1, so I’m an ambassador. I can’t transfer those games to the KH 3DS if I bought it, right? :(

    1. DrunkEnShadow

      i think u can

    2. Zack

      I’m pretty sure you can, but it will delete the titles from the host system.

    3. Mike

      The games are saved on the sd card. So all you have to do is switch them.

    4. Boo

      Yeah, you can use the system transfer tool to transfer your entire system from one 3ds to your new 3ds. It transfers everything including your Miis, swapnotes, Activity Log, eShop games, etc. Just make sure your SD cards are in place because your old 3ds and its SD card needs to be rewritten to transfer the data to your new 3ds and SD card.

  16. millsy

    One day before my birthday. But I don’t want it.

    1. Zack

      Someone needs to teach this guy a lesson. Or girl…. I rly don’t know

    2. millsy

      I just don’t like anime stuff.

    3. i just dont–like your–picture

    4. Lawrence

      Same. It creeps me out. :(

    5. Soeroah

      Kingdom Hearts isn’t anime.

  17. Aaron

    why pink crown..not gold?

    1. Zack

      Are you kidding? Pink and black is beast!!!

    2. Gosh

      The whole coloured crown is just stupid.

    3. Ixchel

      Wat. The crown is purple (magenta [the absolute purple, 50% red and 50%blue]). x_x Pink is light red… if the dark version of what you call pink doesn’t look red, it’s not pink. (Or you can argue that since it’s 50% red, but not light, the crown is red. But then it’s also blue. ;) )

      Sorry, just tired of everyone calling every shade of purple that doesn’t almost look blue “pink”.

  18. DrunkEnShadow

    i hope the 10th anniv box come in europe

  19. Zack

    OH MY GODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

  20. Niji

    Why did I have to be an early adopter…. WHY.

    1. Zack

      Because you’re a Nintendo fangirl.

    2. Gosh

      Uh, so you can play games in English? Sorry bro, but no Square Enix special edition consoles have been released outside of Japan.

    3. the birth by sleep psp was released in america. it was only silver and was missing the emblem but that was ok for me.

  21. AkatsukLilith

    OMG JUST DIE!!!! I want it but i got my aqua blue so not fair:(

  22. I hope in North America that they at least have some decals that I can put on my 3DS to make it look like this, but if not, I’ll just get this and transfer all my data to it. :p

    “Kingdom Hearts 10th Anniversary Box”? HD remakes for PS3 and Wii U, plz? :3

  23. Jackfrost

    US Released date??
    it think it will late 2012 :(

  24. Exlon

    I gasped. I WANT IIIT! Although I don’t know if they’ll have it in the US. :/ And I already have a 3DS, so… :(

  25. JefteNintendoNerd

  30. Ruīji !

  32. Haze the Hawk

    I can’t wait to finally be able to play this game! XD

  33. ABEzilla116

    So does anyone know if the demo is up yet?

    1. flash

      i downloaded it a couple of hours ago

    2. ABEzilla116

      Where are you? US or europe?

    3. Xarreno

      I’m pretty sure it’s up in the US now.

  34. lukeguy

    That’s one ugly 3DS…

    1. Haze the Hawk

      Who thinks they will realese a real Final Fantasy for the 3DS?

  35. TheEpicTreecko

    It’s okay…. Don’t panic treecko you already got a 3DS…… GAHHHHH I WANT IT SO BADLY! Too bad I don’t live in japan. Meh. I got what got.

  36. Han Solo

    Resident Evil demo is up in the US!!!!

    1. YAB

      Hey, people who were waiting for that Kingdom Hearts 3DS… there you go, as long as it comes to the North America, Europe, etc. then you didnt wait in vain.

  37. CrimsonalCore

    “unlock a rare Dream Eater that would otherwise be difficult to unlock through standard means.”
    There is such things as internet. It means it’s not going to be rare anymore.

    Also, I have a feeling they were gonna make the longest KH name… “Kingdom Hearts 3D Dream Drop Distance Final Mix +”. XD But I hope this one doesn’t have final mix… :l

  38. Firefly

    That logo ruins what would have been a pretty awesome decal design and I’m not even a Disney fan, never have been actually. I’m more of a Studio Ghibli/Rosa/GITS kind of fella. xD

  39. Firefly

    Actually I don’t think that logo will be on the 3DS itself. Hmm, might have to pick this up.

  40. John Morrison WWE

    The Standard Edition is
    80 USD!!!!!!
    Seriously!!!!!!

    1. Kenn

      No thts bcuz, the yen is much more powerful than a us dollar right now due to the USD getting a lot weaker bcuz of the the economy, it is worth that much. Itl prolly b the same price as a regular 3ds game here in the us, maybe $50 at max.

  41. Mr.Plinkett

    FUCKING HATE BEING AN AMBASSADOR NOW!!

  42. i want to know

    how do i attach a picture to the comments?

  43. Sparky Kitsune

    WANT WANT WANT.
    But I already have an Ambassador Aqua Blue 3DS :(
    I hope they make the design into a skin or something. It looks very nice… :c

    1. Roxic

      Me to cuz i have black already so it will look like the real deal ;)

  44. Darrien

    I want :(

  45. Cori

    Roxic off topic but im changeing my name to Roxic cuz of organisation 13 :P

  46. eXe

    this sucks!!, i’ll never buy a console on day 1, nintendo is releasin a freakin awesome design for every game. instead of that we get a stupid program in our 3DS and some cheap games that we all have beaten.

    The real Nintendo fans are being treated like crap.

  47. Cheap Brand New “Nintendo 3DS”: $68

    Brand New Cheap “Super Mario 3D Land”: $16

    Cheapest “Golden Sun Dark Dawn” (brand new): $8
