E3 2012 Media | More Than an Eyeful of Kingdom Hearts 3D #1 at Nintendo Cubed3

In preparation for an impending threat, Sora and Riku enter the Sleeping Worlds to take the Mark of Mastery exam. They will face new enemies and make new friends in worlds they’ve never set foot in. If they can successfully unlock seven Sleeping Keyholes and return to their world, they will retrieve a great power and be deemed true Keyblade Masters.

KINGDOM HEARTS 3D is the latest entry in the beloved collaboration between Disney Interactive and Square Enix, which has shipped over 17 million units worldwide. In this much-awaited follow-up to KINGDOM HEARTS II, players take control of both Sora and Riku as they look to become Keyblade Masters. The adventure will take them through Disney worlds never before seen in the series, and new gameplay features will elevate the acclaimed KINGDOM HEARTS experience to new heights.

Players will alternate taking control of the two most popular characters of the series, Sora and Riku.
Creatures called Dream Eaters inhabit the Sleeping Worlds, and are split into two categories: Spirits and Nightmares. There are over 50 types of Spirits that can become allies and fight alongside Sora and Riku.
Spirits can be bred and nurtured, and will help Sora and Riku learn new commands and abilities.
From La Cité des Cloches (The Hunchback of Notre Dame) to The Grid (TRON: Legacy), every Disney world that Sora and Riku will visit is new to the series.
Players can use their environment to perform Flowmotion: fast and effortless movements that can be tied to powerful finishing moves.
Players can activate Reality Shift under certain conditions and execute various attacks by responding to Touch Screen commands. Each world will have a unique Reality Shift.
Players can challenge others to Flick Rush matches, or use StreetPass to trade Link Portals, in which special combat challenges can be set or Spirits can be temporarily lent to other players.

Word of the street is that Square Enix is desperately trying to fix the bug from the Japanese version in time for launch in the US/Europe so the patch isn't required.

Also, Smilie at the number of hits this story has! Smilie

Old trailer people let's get with the program Square!! Seriously with all the similar footage being used for press stuff I'm starting to worry about just how SHORT this game will be.

It is not wise to speak on subjects you do not know all facts about, nor is it smart to judge a game based on looks alone. PSN: Nintendo_Gamer 3DS: 4296-3029-7422

tbh if you think about it every kingdom heart game runs about the same on how long it takes to play about 24 hours if you are playing fast but casual (as i do) and from what i saw of the entire game its about the same,but we will see hope it is good ^_^ CANNOT WAIT
