Kingdom Hearts 3D
– Nintendo was very interested in getting Kingdom Hearts on the 3DS
– KH3DS started because of Nintendo’s interest and because Tetsuya Nomura believed he could make use of the system’s features
– Takes place in the same time frame as the other titles
– Play as Sora and Riku
– Switch between the two characters while you play, Nomura says this will be central to the gameplay systems
– Nomura will take advantage of 3D
– Nomura said the team is thinking about “falling” for using the 3D
– Nomura wants to make “A KH you can touch, a falling Sora, and a flying Riku.”
– Trust is a theme
– By trusting others, you can do things that you couldn’t do on your own
