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).

I was very disappointed... I'm a big fan of the serie but dream drop distance is very lame in my eyes. Hope the full version it's better

It was awesome, spent most of my time getting used to flow motion and reality shift, hope they release another demo but with riku as the playable character

 

also somehow when i downloaded the demo i only got 15 tries not 30 o_O

 

In europe we just have 15 tries not like japan and north america they have 30

The flowmotion is so much fun, though I do wish the demo wasn't so short :l

Only 3 weeks more then it's out, this wait is going to be even harder after being teased with that demo...

Even though, for some reason, it took like thirty minutes for me to actually start playing the Demo... it was worth it! This just makes me even more excited for the game and I'm ready to master my skills twenty-nine more times until July 31. Definitely a great demo for the game minus how short it is. Though the boss took me about five minutes; guess I should get practicing.

This is a vid of the demo, but some parts where just too bright to capture good so sometimes you only see shapes in white. But I couldn't find any other vid of the demo either ;S

so for those who don't have their 3DS yet, it might give an impression.

The controls are exactly the same as the japanese ver. right? they use B to Jump and A to Atack just like all the japanese Kingdom Hearts, that's fine because my latest KH that I've played is BBS Final Mix lol

Yeah I kept pressing B to attack haha. I love the game so far except that with combo it seems like there's so much to try (not that that's a bad thing) that I'm kind of afraid I won't get to try it all and might end up sticking to one combat method the whole game.

Also it's not like I've played the entire game already, but it looks like the dream eaters are kind of cartoonish with their design like the heartless in the first game, which is tottally cool, I just hope the last game has more intimidating enemies like the Nobodies, they were pretty intimidating. Other than that, this game is SWEET.

I was also smiling the whole time, and got it this morning.

I think it could have been Riku you play as, and Sora. As you might've noticed, the Drop bar wasn't there. Otherwise I loved the Demo!
