– Story is unexpected, atypical based on the happenings that have taken place in the series and what fans have expected
– Story hints in Kingdom Hearts Re:coded
– Team is thinking of three new gameplay systems
– Again, developed by the Square Enix Osaka (Birth by Sleep) team
– Kingdom Hearts 3D demo was made very quickly

“This is because it’s not a remake, but a completely original game. This time, Sora and Riku are the two main characters. We’re currently in the process of selecting new worlds. ‘KH3D’ will be a title that enters a new step to follow the three games whose production was announced simultaneously, ‘358/2 Days, Birth by Sleep, and Coded.” – Tetsuya Nomura

“It’s like one game has been added. My purpose in coming to E3 wasn’t just for the announcement but for a meeting as well. I’m scheduled to come to next year’s E3 too. There are still surprise titles, but first enjoy Re: Coded, whose release date we’re set to announce shortly.” – Tetsuya Nomura

Konno on what he thinks is the most noteworthy 3DS tech demo at E3…

“I think there are so many titles at the 3DS booth, including first-party titles and support from our licensees like Metal Gear Solid and Resident Evil. When we first were preparing for the DS, I think the situation was very different. I was preparing first-party titles for the system like Nintendogs and Mario Kart, and I think there was suspicion toward the Nintendo DS. Like, “What do you do with it? With the two screens and the touch panel?”

However, the DS has now been in the market so long that the two screens and the touch panel have been adopted, and the new 3DS’ stereoscopic graphics (and the graphics themselves being enhanced so much) have convinced our licensees and made them feel like it’s worthy to participate this time at such an early stage.

So, I am the hardware producer of the 3DS hardware itself. And I had the opportunity to invite as many people as possible to join the show and be involved in the 3DS. I was in the software development field for a very long time. And during software development, my focus was on how to fully utilize the limited specifications supporting by the hardware. But now as the producer for the 3DS hardware, I was taking into consideration the features of the hardware itself, and how its software will take advantage of the stereoscopic vision, as well as how much enhancement of the wireless features is necessary.”

Eurogamer is reporting that Nintendo is aiming to launch this 3DS in at least one territory this year and believes the system will definitely see a worldwide release “by early next year.” While the company is looking to have the handheld in stores for the holiday season, it’s possible that the launch could be delayed until 2011. Nintendo declined to comment on the 3DS’ release date or price, though it has been said that it will be out before the fiscal year ending March 2011.
