Way back on December 20th, we told you about the impending release of Disney & Square Enix all new Kingdom Hearts game, Dream Drop Distance. As we told you then, the game is going to be exclusive to Nintendo 3DS and is slated for a March 29th release... In Japan. Unfortunately, Kingdom Hearts fans in the US and Europe will have to wait until the fall. However, if you can't wait that long, Square Enix has just released an all new video trailer for Dream Drop Distance... and it clocks in at just under 10 minutes.Yeah, thats a pretty long game trailer. If you are undaunted by the clip's length, then hopefully you wont mind the other strike against the video... the entire voice over track of the video is in Japanese... with no subtitles, but it's still well worth the watch. Now, you may remember that back in December we had a similar video, but rest assured, these are two totally different videos, and share only a little of the same footage. Hopefully this is enough to satisfy you rabid Kingdom Hearts fans... until lunch anyway.
