Square Enix has announced that it’s releasing a special limited edition Kingdom Hearts Nintendo 3DS which will coincide with the launch of Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance on March 29th in Japan. The limited edition console will retail for ¥6 090 and will come bundled with a copy of Kingdom Hearts 3D along with an AR card which can be used to unlock a rare Dream Eater. Square Enix has yet to announce when we’re getting Kingdom Hearts 3D here in the West but they have stated that it’s coming this year.

Japanese gaming publication Famitsu has managed to score an interview with Tetsuya Nomura regarding Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance for the Nintendo 3DS. Nomura told the publication that the game has an ending that will be completely unconventional for the series. Nomura also told Famitsu that the original ending that had been planned for the game was not officially approved. Kingdom Hearts 3D will also feature a secret ending that will feature shocking developments that connect to the next game in the long-running series. Kingdom Hearts 3D is due for release in Japan in March.

Square Enix has uploaded some new gameplay footage of Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance for the Nintendo 3DS. Kingdom Hearts 3D is currently scheduled to be released in Japan sometime during March with a North American and European release confirmed for later this year by Square Enix.

One of the games showcased at the Nintendo Direct conference that took place yesterday is Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance. The next instalment in the popular Kingdom Hearts franchise is coming exclusively to Nintendo 3DS in Japan sometime during March 2012. Square Enix has yet to clarify a date for the West other than a vague 2012 release.
