Kingdom Hearts 3D North American Demo Incoming!

[Sora2016]

From the looks of this, there isn't a drop gauge and it looks like there is no time limit.

Spoiler Show

Looks good for people who want to avoid spoilers, they only play the first cutscene and we have seen it in trailers quite a few times. The rest is just gameplay.

I'm just glad we can fight the boss

Nomura...cares about the American fans more than Square Enix seems to care about us.

Hurts so bad though.

I really hope this demo comes out after that awesome KH 3DS bundle that's definitely going to be released, even though that would technically render the demo obsolete.
...
Logic be damned, I want to play this but I don't want to buy a 3DS yet.

 

[Mite]

Very much looking forward to this demo, whenever it comes out. I need that first taste of gameplay after avoiding spoilers, just something to hold me over for a while longer, and this'd probably do it.

 

[Sorax 122]

Aww... no riku. Still it's a demo, which is something.

 

[Ovafaze]

This announcement came out only a few days AFTER I spoiled myself, if only I had waited. If only.

Your not the only one :frown:

But still thats great that NA is gettign a demo, can't see Europe getting one considering we are getting it first but I can still dream - wanted to practice free-flow -_-

 

[kupo1121]

Me too, but I have to hold out until I know if there is a bundle. I have not given up on it yet. I really want that bundle. Of course maybe I can borrow a 3DS from someone just so I can play the demo. I do want to play it if I can.

Yup, this is what I am waiting for as well. The way I see it, if I'm patient and can get a limited edition Kingdom Hearts 3DS, getting every color of the system and all the games early would be moot...since they aren't a limited edition Kingdom Hearts console.

You only get 30 plays with the demo. When that 30 is up, you can't play it again I believe #Nintendonoob

I actually recall reading that somewhere but it completely passed me. In which case I will play the demo either 10 times or 20 times (to have 10 left for the 10th anniversary), and then NEVER TOUCH IT AGAIN!!!! or let anyone else touch it (then again, if I have a limited edition 3DS, nobody is gonna touch it in the first place xP)

I really hope this demo comes out after that awesome KH 3DS bundle that's definitely going to be released, even though that would technically render the demo obsolete.

Kingdom Hearts 3DS > getting any other form of a 3DS

So because you get it 11 days early, you all of a sudden don't get a demo for those who weren't sure about getting the game? Not sure how smart that is on SE's part.

 

[Ventusblade_]

Ah shucks! I really hope that after I play the 15 (or 30) times I can just re-download it! If not, then Sony does a way better job with demos. >.>

How? No offense to our sake, but Nintendo's demo-scheme is smart for them. If a game has a simple gameplay scheme, people might be deterred from getting the game and just think they can play the free demo forever in order to enjoy that simple little gimmick. However, with the 3DS demos, one cannot do that because after 30 plays (you must have figured out whether you liked it or not by this time) you are forced to make a decision, buy it or don't play it again (unless you borrow someone else's).

Does it save how many times to the SD card? People could just erase it from their computers if that's the case.
But to watch you said, I totally agree. I can't tell you how many times this has happened to me when getting "lite" versions of Ipod apps

 

[Ventusblade_]

Ok, but it's not the same with the 'little gimmick' than the actual game, in some rpg demos you can't even level up, fight a boss, etc.
They atleast let you download it, and play it as many time that it takes you to decide.

 

[kupo1121]

If you still can't decide after 30 demo plays:

1) You are indecisive to the point where it is unhealthy for you
2) You plan on playing the demo forever and not getting the game.

SE's demos are usually a decent length. I'm expecting this demo to last at least 10-15 minutes. 15 plays is already 2.5 hours with the gameplay, if the demo is only 10 minutes. That should be more than enough to time I would think, if the demo is longer or you play it more, the time you have with the game only increases...I think you have more than enough time to decide.

30 times again and again would be over excessive

 

[Rallade]

30 times again and again would be over excessive

Pleonasm much?

Anyways, I doubt many people would want to play it 10 times, let alone 30 (considering you can restart the demo within one play)

Lol, I know.
I saw the demo and if you just skip the enemies it could be like 5 minutes (not like I'm gonna do that).
I'm gonna do what a user said (don't remember his name), I'll master the free-flow thingy, but with the gameplays I watched I think I already got the hang of it.

 

[Narukami]

Could this possibly be our first glimpse of the demo? O_O

Is there an event, or do you think it is just going to be the English trailer just released on a big screen?

That's probably what it is. Now that we have the trailer.

I hope this means the demo is coming soon.

 

[kupo1121]

Well, a demo is going to be at that UK event so I'm assuming a demo is ready. If you mean the demo that is going to be released to Nintendo 3DS systems, don't get your hopes up, the game has months to come out, so they have time.
