KH-Vids | Your ultimate source for Kingdom Hearts media

"IGN Strategize" is a video segment which help explain a few strategies to help players with games. A few days ago they released a nice little piece on the gameplay concept that is Flowmotion and the Reality Shift for Dream, Drop, Distance. Jessica Chobot of IGN goes into detail about the actual controls used and mentions that it does take some getting used to. Many thanks to Admin Misty for letting me know.

So as I'm sure you all know, Dream Drop Distance released this Friday in Europe! With members purchasing their copies and getting their preorders in, many are doing "unboxings"--showing you what they got with the game and displaying the packaging for other fans. Definitely fun for those who didn't get a certain preorder, or who aren't able to get the game (for whatever reason). So what we're inviting you to do is share your unboxing pictures, videos, and experiences within this thread. Anything sent in will be edited into this post, and will therefore appear on our homepage! I expect we'll primarily be getting entries from European fans, but if you're in North America or Australia and got your game, feel free to post it!

You can either post your stuff in this thread, or send it in to me via private or visitor message.

The first video is on behalf of forum member Limit-Sora, who got his copy a bit early!You can check out his YouTube channel here, where he's also doing a Let's Play of the game.

Square Enix announced this morning that KH3D will be celebrating it's launch in New York, hosted by Nintendo World.

The event takes place on Saturday, July 28th from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at the Nintendo flagship store in Rockefeller Plaza.
