you lucky ducks. you get it before us. I have to wait for it, just like I have to wait for Heroes of Ruin. oh well I'll live. lol
I can't wait till i get my hands on this. It would be beast if it had online like KH birth by sleep for Psp.
Gah, I have to wait till July 31st.
I can't wait for it, but I don't like the decision of only realasing an English version in my country (Spain). I don't care about it, but there are a lot of fans that can't understand English.
crap, I was hoping for a Wii U announcement. The cell shaded look makes a perfect candidate for it. (less textures=less memory/cpu)
Nintendo Europe seem to do a lot more for us RPG fans these days. I hope they keep it up.
Good move Nintendo.
Oh wow woot woot! I love Kingdom Hearts
I hope this means KH3 will come to Wii U, I know its unlinked but if Nintendo helps SE with KH distribution, I cant see a reason why they wouldn't release their game on a Nintendo console.
July 31st!!!
I'm really looking forward to this (^_^)
Nintendo Kingdom Hearts confirmed
Oh yay. Were getting a game, which we would've gotten anyway.
finally something to spend money on now if we only could get some news on KH3
