Promotion

So I guess I was promoted? If only because I check my backroom and lurk?

So that's cool.

For those if you that've stuck around, thanks. You'll be hearing more from me once KH:3D is out. I'll try to live blog it.

Just... so cute... tiny Riku...
I know he's like 15 but he is the cutest.

Kingdom Hearts 3D News

Okay it has been awhile but we have news and it is my duty to put on my Clark Kent glasses and report. The Tokyo Game Show was last week so there’s a bunch of new information about KH3D and I feel like we should break this down the good ‘ol fashion way. A list!

• The game takes place after KH2.
• Oh Riku has a haircut!
• Sora and Riku are off to take their MoM (Mark of Mastery) exam with Yen Sid.
• Yen Sid says “Let’s open the keyhole of sleep. If you return back to this place, then I will consider you Masters.”
• Sora and Riku get de-aged with new outfits. Oh and apparently they forgot how to fight… again.
• Sora goes to Traverse Town which gets two new districts.
• Also Neku from The World Ends With You meets Sora in Traverse Town.
• Meanwhile we get to see that Riku meets up with Quasimodo and Esmeralda.
• The new monsters are named Dream Eaters. There are two kinds; ones that fight alongside of you (Spirits) and the bad guys of the game (Nightmares).
• Okay so apparently there are three types of worlds. There are worlds that are in light and worlds in darkness. THEN there are worlds that are in sleep, and these worlds are where KH3D takes place. So the game is like a collective dream? Anyhoo you can wake these worlds up and restore them to their original form.
• So with sleep being a theme in this game and the MoM there is a connection to BBS.
• Braig! I don’t know how he fits in but apparently Even and Ienzo are there too with Xehanort getting a keyblade.
• 3D is utilized in the game and even in 2D apparently you can make your eyes tired/get dizzy so you can’t marathon it. Nomura says the cut scenes should be watched in 3D because what I need in my life is Sora popping out at me. Also that new side panel/nub thing for the 3DS is used as well.
• Anyhoo it will be released in spring 2012 in Japan which means we should expect to see it state-side in the fall or winter.
