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
