Kingdom Hearts 3D News

So Nomura just loves having interviews doesn't he? This time it's about Kingdom Hearts 3D, the game they're currently working on for the Nintendo 3DS. Here's the highlights:

  • Both Sora and Riku will be playable, hopefully showcasing their different fighting styles
  • There is a reason (story wise) for why Sora and Riku are in their KH1 outfits
  • The gameplay system is complete so either they've been working on this game for awhile or they're reusing a past battle system
  • KH 3D will use ALL new Worlds.
  • There's a deeper meaning to the '3' in the title than just it having 3d elements

Well I'm glad we're getting back to the main trio (Kairi will have to be involved someway right?) and that we'll get to play as Riku (which makes most of my predictions a while back correct) but I wish Nomura would stop kicking ideas around and get cracking on KHIII. I know it won't go into production until Versus is finished but... AUGH nonetheless. How big of a gap was it between the release of 1 and 2? Four or five years? Now to go ruminate over BBS some more...
