Kingdom Hearts 3D English eShop demo coverage


DChiuch

Last night, a demo for Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance] was added to the Nintendo 3DS eShop in North America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand. The North American version allows for 30 free plays, while the other versions allow for 15. We definitely recommend that you download and play the free demo, however, if you can't do so for some reason, we have prepared the following summary of the demo for you.

The demo is split into two sections, the "Tutorial" and the main section. On the menu screen, you have the choice of which you would like to play. "Tutorial" lets you play through the very part of the game on Destiny Islands (as Sora), where you are on a raft, shown the controls of the game, and have a short boss battle with Ursula, ending with some more tutorials in Traverse Town. You can see a recording of the tutorial below, thanks to Limen123 from KH13.

The main part of the demo takes part in Traverse Town, again, playing as Sora. When you arrive in Traverse Town, you are treated to a cutscene between Sora and Neku. After that, you can explore Traverse Town and fight Dream Eaters, with the demo ending after you beat the Dream Eater boss in the world. You can see a recording of the main part of the demo below, thanks to ELTheGeek.

Here is the cutscene from the demo, thanks to Blike from KH13:

After you complete the demo, you are treated to one of many random "thank you for playing" screens, featuring Meow Wow. Awesome! Make sure you play through the demo multiple times in order to see each one.

Lastly, since we've received so many pieces of news today, we wanted to make sure that you check out each of the articles below (all of which were posted in the last day).

- Kingdom Hearts to appear at Japan Expo celebrating 10th Anniversary
- European version of Kingdom Hearts 3D to contain AR cards
- New "Flowmotion" Kingdom Hearts 3D trailer from Square Enix
- Kingdom Hearts 10th Anniversary soundtrack announced
- Kingdom Hearts 3D demo now available on Nintendo eShop

Finished the demo. It was, all sorts of feels. <3

 

...Did anyone else get lost in Traverse Town? In the midst of getting the hang of Flowmotion I was like, "Where the f*beep* do I go!? @A@".

As soon as Reggie announced that the KH3D demo was on the eShop, I jumped for joy and cheered like a freakin maniac.

 

The demo's really short though. It's just a tutorial and a tiny piece of Traverse Town. The 3D and graphics are beautiful though, the gameplay's fun, and dat English voice acting (Neku FTW). I wonder if we'll get another demo down the line that has Flick Rush like they said, or if this is it.

Who else watched the European Nintendo Direct ? I can swear I heard Shibata-san say that the demo was available. Or maybe I just wanted to hear it, I'm not so sure anymore...

Who's got the demo now? I dont have 3DS and I wanna know wat happened in the demo!

What world does the demo take place in?

 

Traverse Town part of Sora's Story (No cutscenes besides Sora and Neku's Meeting and the Monkey thing.)

 

I have to say the gameplay feels NATURAL. I did most of my Flowmotion stuff by Complete and utter accident

I got lost. I could have sworn while Flowing around the Town i saw a Chest. Anywho. I found a work around. as long as you don't exit the Demo Your fine. You can play as many times as you like.

Just noticed something new on my second demo playthrough: there's this "Link Portal" thing where you "battle your opponent's Spirits" or whatever. The option for it just came up on the touch screen after I finished a battle. Anyone else get that?

 

I also Spirit Link'd. Riding on Meow Wow's back is so fun. :3

Okay, we get the game 11 days earlier. But so what? Every other KH game, you've got MONTHS earlier than us, so how about you stop using the mere 11 days as some kind of an excuse for all these extras. You guys get the MoM Edition. You guys get the 3 AR cards as a standard pre-order. You guys get the demo. Europe? We get nothing (other than France getting a mere keychain), and Spain and Italy don't even get localisation.

So don't tell me to 'deal with it' 'be patient' or 'shush', maybe stop acting so spoilt and think that other people might actually deserve the same treatment as NA.

 

 

No.

 

Note 'for once'. You guys get it every other time.

 

Yes I'm complaining, NA is being spoilt with KH3D things.

 

I totally agree with you. 11 days earlier "gimmick" is childish and stupid. We just need to sit and wait, while everyone speaks about the demo? i think not. we can complain all we want. ill back you up dude :3xD

I think it was good. Could have been a bit better and longer with having Riku's story and making him playuable. But other than that, it's a good demo. It qill definitely hold me over until the full game comes out.

It was nice. It could've been longer and included Riku's story but this is enough for me to hold out for 39 more days since they gave us 30 tries :3

tutti frutti. My original thought on this, "somebody is leading me on with another topic about the demo that isn't released yet." *goes to eshop to check* OMG! Finally don't have to look at threads wondering when the demo will be out. Looking forward to playing it when I finish downloading it.

I agree with both of you.

 

Anyway! I was sure I heard Shibata-san say we got it too, I didn't understand why I couldn't find it!
