Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance] dated for Australian and New Zealand
Nintendo Australia has this morning announced that it will release Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance] for the Nintendo 3DS on July 26th. Nintendo often takes hold of Square Enix games here in Australia so its not surprise to see them distribute it. This means we get the game a week after Europe but still a couple of days before America, not bad.
Kingdom Hearts 3D sees the return of Sora or Riku as they travel through many Disney worlds including La Cité des Cloches (The Hunchback of Notre Dame), and “The Grid” (TRON: Legacy) for the first time. There is a demo of the game up on the eShop right now if you would like to check it out before the game is later this month.

Nice to see it confirmed. Local EB have been saying the 27th for a while but I had been meeting that with caution.
Hopefully people have tried out the demo, really consolidated my resolve to purchase this game.
As much as I don’t trust retailers dates, especially online ones, I usually trust it when they’ve printed giant banners with the date on it 🙂 Got this one pre-ordered already, replaying days and re:coded now…
Yeah im ready to buy it! But gotta wait for the XL to release..
I can’t wait for this!
I have this pre-ordered, but I don’t want to pay $70 at EB, urgh. Gonna have to wait until I can price match for a decent price. Neku!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
JB HiFi has KH3D available for preorder at $59 according to their website.
Completely off topic, I noticed an entry for Smash Bros. 3D on EB’s website: https://www.ebgames.com.au/3ds-154341-Smash-Brothers-3D-Nintendo-3DS
