    1. Kevin

    2. Risler

      WTF u talking about??!!

    3. techbox

      That “SHEEEN” is just a way to represent a sound effect….not actually the one you think of…rofl..

    4. ChaosInvoker

      That sword is too much. Here borrow my brain cause dude can’t handle it.

      This game is bi-winning!

    5. 3DSNERD

      it was a joke……….

  2. miiworld2

    1. Josh

      That’s a lot of details, too many to read.

    2. Mr.Cheese

      IKR i want to ride pony

      Whip

  3. HADUKEN!!!

    That pony would bring alot of bad mash ups from bronies

    1. Rule 34 ’til the end of time…. T-T fml

    2. Lv.5 Jacob

      But the possibilities for normal, non-sexytime comics and stuff are there too!

      Epona, Rapidash, and this guy all winding up in Ponyville together. Could be good times.

  4. randomguy

    Awesome. I wonder if the Reapers from TWEWY will make an appearance

    1. vakundekel

      No, they won’t, Nomura said so in the interview last week.

    2. It’s just Beat, Joshua, Neku, Shiki, and Rhyme.

  5. Dragard

    Wow, Shiki’s character model is extremely skinny. Just like in TWEWY xD

    1. RockyTem

      everybody in TWEWY is unnaturally skinny. thats how modeling and fashion works =P

  6. Iron_Catastrofe

    damn this game looks amazing, Hopefully it comes out in the US before the year is over. I need me another KH fill along with TWEWY characters making an appearance!

    1. It probably will.

  7. Jorden

    This makes me mad that my 3DS was stolen…

    1. Roxic

      DANGGGGGGG

    2. FFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUU!!!

  8. nintenaxi

    Hey DAVID,
    NEW STAR FOX made BY RETRO STUDIOS is almost CONFIRMED!!
    Check this out:
    http://jpgames.de/2012/01/gerucht-retro-studios-mit-neuem-star-fox-fur-nintendo-wii-u/

    The site’s in German, but the important quote from the Official Nintendo Magazine is in English.

    “Retro Studios is working on a different kind of barrel role.”
    :D

    1. Belinni

      OMG “barrel role”!

      My dreams of Retro Studios making an FPS starring a Donkey Kong barrel are being fulfilled!

    2. Gastrogenous

      Shut up about it already. That was not even a quote from Retro, it was just speculation from the magazine.

    3. Andy

      Don’t get hyped by this folks. He’s saying this out of context. ONM was doing an article on Retro, and at the end they said that after rolling around in barrels in Donkey Konk Country Returns, they would like to see Retro “Try a barrel roll of a different kind.”

    4. Didn’t Miyamoto say the Star Fox series would get revived if Star Fox 64 3D sold well?

      Here’s hopin’.

  9. Nozizaki

    The enemies are still too colorful for me. Miss the
    Heartless…

    1. Mr.Cheese

      me too……………………

    2. Heartless, Nobodies, Unversed, and now Dream Eaters.

  10. MaxiMillion

    Glad to see the world for Fantasia isn’t only based on the mystery tower.

  11. Josh

    Why is pic 39 so big?

    1. Kazuki

      Joshua’s just that awesome.

  12. rulerofyourface

    I might get this game just because it has characters from TWEWY

    1. Mr.Cheese

      what the fric is TWEWY

    2. Mike

      the world ends with you

    3. Lv.5 Jacob

      It’s a -really- good DS game. Unconventional Action JRPG with heavy emphasis on the J. You ought to try it if you’re able.

  13. Zack

    Hey David, why are you referring to the game as Kingdom Hearts 3D? The official name is Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance…

    1. JamesD

      Everyone still knows what he’s talking about. Plus, it’s also easier to type “3D” than “dream drop distance”.

    2. Xarreno

      3D could also be inferring Dream Drop Distance. Which was probably intended (by David). What’s easier? DDD or 3D?

      That’s probably why the title is the way it is, because it’s on the 3DS. If not, they could have called it Birth by Sleep… wait…
      Joking aside, it could have been “Trials of the Heart” or something… considering it’s the Mark of Mastery.

    3. Belinni

      It’s not that hard of a mental leap to figure out 3D means (1)Dream (2) Drop (3)Distance.

      Aside from being the generic “Hey this game is in 3D!” it’s also a shortened version of the true name.

    4. Actually…the full title is Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance. @Zack just got served.

    5. @Big E
      Yeah, that’s how I refer to it.

    6. San.hae34

      Well if we’re going to correct each other, David didn’t write the entry. Franco Castenada did…

  14. all_amERICan_gamer

    Just tracked down a copy of twewy! It took me like six months to find, but dammit it was worth it!! And it makes me want this game even more!!

    1. You’ve never heard of Amazon.com or eBay, have you?

    2. Dont be so mean. somepeople don’t shop on the Internet.
      @all_amERICan_gamer that’s awesome! i got a copy 2 weeks ago and the game is awsome!

    3. I’m not trying to insult him/her. I just know that I found the same game at Gamestop about two months ago and bought it immediately.

      Although, I do wonder how someone could spend six months tracking down one game. If only all_amERICan_gamer was a bit more specific with his/her methods…

      I know I spent six months (give or take) tracking down a Nintendo Wii back when it was hard to find.

  15. invictus

    This game looks really impressive, but could somebody help me out though? Like a lot of people, I was really put off from the KH series because of all these frikin’ spin-offs…do I need to know what’s going on in the story in order to play this?
    It looks really awesome with the TRON world and TWEWY…it’s really making me wanna break and get it when it comes out even though I would not have a clue what was going on story-wise.

    PS…TWEWY character designs looked great in the DS game…but does anyone else agree that they look slightly off when trying to blend in with the KH atmosphere (still cool though)?

    1. The only “Spin-off” Kingdom Hearts game is Kingdom Hearts Mobile…And the one for that Vcast thing years ago. The rest add to the main story.

    2. They all add to the main story. Check Wikipedia.

    3. There are no spinoffs

    4. I actually wanted to play that Vcast KH game. I wish it was still around.

    5. Kazuki

      Kingdom Hearts games are heavy on story, so to get the most out of this game, I’m afraid you’ll have to sink some time and money into previous games. I suggest KH 1 and 2, Chain of Memories (if you can get it) 358/2 Days and Birth by Sleep.
      If you have the time and money, go nuts. Buy all the games. You’ll probably have a better grasp of the series than I do–which isn’t saying much… You can still enjoy the game without the others, but you’ll be very lost as far as the story goes. The revelations given in this game will probably be meaningless without the other games to reference.
      Square Enix was trying to maintain the style of TWEWY in Kingdom Hearts (like they do with the Disney characters), however, TWEWY was very stylized so the transfer from 2D to 3D didn’t work as well as it could have (if they had a bit more of a waist they might not have looked so odd…).

    6. Soeroah

      Like many people, you assume all the handheld titles are spin-offs. All the games, other than V-cast, contribute to the main story line, and as such aren’t truly spin-offs.

      If you’ve played Birth by Sleep, that will probably be enough. Days will help with a couple of characters, and Re:Coded is largely skippable apart from the ending and the secret movie.

  16. Roxic

    I
    WANT
    NOW

  17. blubbermarble
    1. blubbermarble

      why u didn’t help me?
      I really need ur help!

    2. InfiniteCrisis

      Why don’t you improve your grammar and spelling, and then go get yourself a job. You dont NEED anyone’s help. If you WANT a 3DS so badly, go out and get yourself a job.

    3. I work at Subway, and I already bought a 3DS by then.

    4. Josh

      Why do you keep asking here for money? Clearly this isn’t the best place for begging for money.

  18. GamingFan99

    Is KH good? It looks kind of wierd.

    1. InfiniteCrisis

      Don’t judge a game by looks. This game series is amazing in my opinion. Although, you might wanna go out and get a PS2 and the first 2 games and a few of the games that cover events in between before you buy this one. You wont understand the story, otherwise.

    2. Jedi Master Reggie Fils-Aime

      @GamingFan99
      Yes the force is strong with this game.

    3. Darkspines

      That’s what makes the series so good. Where else will you see Mickey Mouse weilding a giant key-shaped sword and using it with a Yoda-level skill?

    4. I love Mickey’s fighting style.

    5. GamingFan99

      Haha okay thanks guys. If I have some extra money I’ll go for it! However, I heard that the story is long and confusing… where should I start?

    6. I started with the original Kingdom Hearts for the PS2. However, if you want to grasp the story right off the bat, then get Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep for the PSP. For the record, that’s the only KH game that I’ve yet to play.

      I’m currently playing it on the PSP that I recently bought. (Don’t worry Nintendo fanboys, I still have my Ambassador cartified 3DS!).

    7. GamingFan99

      ^Lolz I hate fanboys. Okay, thank you! I’ll see if I can get it… but first I’ll need a PSP, haha!

    8. I gota new PSP just for that game.. Did you know that if you keep your psp near a window in winter the game reader breaks… who knew…

  19. Darkspines

    I hope that Mickey performs the Fantasia number

    1. I’m sure he will.

  20. 3DyeS

    This game is apologetically ugly.

    1. Dick

      Your obviously are younger! This game is awesome and is a big step in handheld history for these games to have ps2 graphics. Why dont you go play batman on ps3 and us appreciators can enjoy good quality games with good graphics without snotty comments from bed wetters!

    2. Josh

      Look at 358/2 days on the ds. You’ll change your mind.

    3. I don’t play games for graphics, I play them for gameplay.

    4. Winning

      KMA! This game looks very smooth and colorful. DIE. Not really, but, DIE.

    5. Kazuki

      Compare this: http://ps2media.gamespy.com/ps2/image/article/935/935118/kingdom-hearts-re-chain-of-memories-20081202074033862_640w.jpg to any of the screenshots for this game. You should appreciate just how far technology has come in these last ten years. You’ve obviously never owned a N64 or PlayStation.

    6. Soeroah

      Nah, FFVII was ugly.

      Are we even looking at the same screenshots?

    7. Kazuki

      That’s a Kingdom Hearts screenshot. Are you blind? It just has Final Fantasy characters (notice Sora on the right). That’s what the series is known for. *facepalm*

    8. Kazuki

      By “this game” I was referring to Dream Drop Distance. And no, I don’t thin we are looking at the same screenshots. I think you’re in some alternate dimension where screenshots look like pugs or something.

    9. Oh, I can clearly notice the improvement over the years.

    10. Ttimer

      HMMM people really need to get out of the chain of “the GRAPHICS” make the best game, but in reality the GAMEPLAY is what it is all about. :DKH
      and KINGDOM HEARTS has a very complex story line and very well built:D
      cant wait for this game and FINAL FANTASY VERSUS 13

    11. Soeroah

      I was replying to 3DyeS, not you, Kazuki. Sorry for the confusion.

  21. littlebigmusic

    The colors are so purdy!

  22. GERRELLEY

    Hehe,wow,this game’s graphics look so pretty. I’m kinda’ guilty making my boyfriend buy this for me… i’m over it. :P

  23. DeN

    i think neku looks kinda different here and joshua is somewhat girlier, how come :O

    1. Kazuki

      Has Joshua ever been very masculine? Maybe they just look more rounded in 3D as opposed to the hard-lined style in TWEWY…

  24. Wow, these are good shots.

  25. Kazuki

    Gotta say… diggin’ Riku’s Tron pants in the fifth from last screenshot. They’re just so poofy…

    Also: Square Enix did a really good job with these screenshots–they’re some of the best I’ve seen for the 3DS.

    1. I remember the ones from Mario Kart 7 looking somewhat pixelated.

    2. Xarreno

      They’re probably using the shots from the game on a moniter. Recently, (as far as I can tell) Nintendo has been using screenshots that look like they came directly from the 3DS screen itself. That’s probably why, although, it could be that Nintendo has just been using inferior technology/shots.

  26. Seriously getting this just for the Tron level.

  27. wow this caps looks really good, just like resident evil

  28. midjenko

    This game looks awesome! Does anyone know when it’s gonna be released in Europe/North America??

  29. http://H3artDimension.wetpaint.com For some 3D Screenshots of this game(And other Kingdm Hearts Games!) Just to give you an idea how it might look :D

  30. bro

    exactly what i wanted to see..twewy characters

  31. RequiredName

    Kingdom Hearts 3D: The World Ends With You 2.

    So basically they’re using the series as a medium for other series they can’t get off the ground now or something?

  32. RequiredName

    Also that’s NOT HER BODY.
