Aside from the usual inscrutable plot points and familiar Disney characters with unfamiliar Japanese voices, the Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance trailer above has a lot going for it. Namely, eight whole minutes of keyblades and keyblade-based combat.

Awesome, the entire main cast of TWEWY is in. Wonder if any of the villains/neutral characters are going to make appearances as well. Hanekoma and Sho need a role.

I"m gonna downvote everyone who says he wants KH3. We all want it, no reason repeating the same story in every godamn KH-related media/story.
That said, the trailer is pretty cool and the CG parts are really emotional...

@Lnds500
Honestly, I'm starting to suspect this really IS Kingdom Hearts 3 after the trailer. Birth by Sleep and Bizarre Division Problem were both side stories, but this is following Sora (and Riku), this is dealing with all the big movers and shakers behind the scenes... This really is likely KH3, only not named that since Nomura is too busy trying to get the perfect hair of Versus XIII right to pay attention to KH right now.

@Alexander Krizak No, Kingdom Hearts 3 should conclude the saga and its development is set to start after KH3D (not immediately though). Nomura has said that this is an important title and we can see that from the production.
It has completely new Disney worlds, a strong story. I feel terrible that I'm gonna miss yet another KH game. I haven't bought a single game since KH2 due to the multiplatform form the series has taken.
anyway, as i said, the trailer looks awesome!! ;)

My interest has waned in the absence of a KH3. Surely I can't be the only one who wants another console release.

hopefully the story isn't as stupid as BBS

@Vuvuzelas Whaaat BBS was awesome. Aqua kicks ass.
Plus, it was the most fun version of the action-RPG battle system.

That's cool and all but where is Kingdom Hearts 3?
I hope they do an HD collection of 1 & 2. Come on Square and/or Sony make it happen!

This and Super Mario Land are pretty much the only things making me want a 3DS. Hope there's more to come. Maybe I'll get one after another price drop.

Well, hopefully it'll be less boring than the last DS KH game.

Everyone who agrees that they should release the Final Mix versions of Birth by Sleep, Kingdom Hearts 1 and Kingdom Hearts 2 for 39.99 - 49.99 USD should upvote this comment.

@DJMaxxi Though I would want to see the other games as well, even just BBSFM in HD would be amazing.

Hmm... lets see. I saw neku, shiki, joshua, beat, and rhyme... but i get this strange feeling they forgot one of the best characters in the game.

I have no doubt this will clarify a plot line that has gone nowhere for so long.
....hahahaha...
Well, it looks great at least.

Three Musketeers huh? ya know, theres always Pixar movies to go to Nomura instead of these Mickey Mouse deep cuts, but OMG MORE TRON I WANT IT!
also, can we please get a current gen console game so we can have a game that actually looks like the CG cutscenes?

@BLipp18 not to mention that Disney owns Marvel so there's a deep vein to mine

@BLipp18 Pixar movies aren't really made by Disney but Disney owns their studio. Course if he can put TWEWY in KH there's no reason now why we can't have pixar movies I guess. Unless he only put TWEWY in there to expand upon more than just FF characters. It may be up Disney to allow Pixar movies in KH.

It looks like March of 2012 is when I pick up a 3DS.

@Captaindrek1 March 2012 is when it comes out in Japan. If I had to guess it will probably be out sometime between September-December of 2012 in North America and Europe.

Why do they always put the trailer in a kaleidoscope?

I'm on the mobile Joystiq app and the title cuts off at "...Kingdom Hearts 3..."
Needless to say, I was disappointed.

Enjoying Disney characters and games with them involved doesn't make you any less of a man.

@That One Guy: Here, have an upvote from a curmudgeonly old man who is still waiting for Legends 3. Hopefully both of these wishes will someday be granted. I can't wait for FFXIII Versus to be done so they can use that engine for KH3.

I'm not going to mention I want KH3 cause everyone does. All I want is KH for a home console. I don't care if it's KH3 or KH2.5 whatever they want to call it. I just want it to be on a home console. Don't even care which one. Seems like KH has just gone into the mobile market and not planning on coming back anytime soon.
