In preparation for the release of 'Kingdom Hearts III' in Japan next Friday (we're so close!!!), Square-Enix released a 2 minute commercial for the game, focusing first on the fans of the series, and then giving us a look at more cutscenes and gameplay (with a new Drive Form revealed called Rage Form, which appears to be an Anti Form variant). Check out the commercial below:

Disney has announced that the Disney Ambassador Hotel at Tokyo Disney Resort will have Kingdom Hearts themed rooms from March 26th to June 30th to celebrate the release of 'Kingdom Hearts III'! Check out images of what the hotel rooms will look like below (as well as the Keyblade-shaped room key):


Reservations can be made starting January 30th, and will cost ¥46,100 per night (roughly $425). Each room will be 41 square meters, and will contain two regular sized beds and one trundle bed. Rooms will include two sets of original postcards in two different designs (total of four postcards). In addition to the hotel rooms, a Kingdom Hearts themed menu will also be served at the hotel lounge and cafe from March 26th to June 13th.

As with past entries in the series, 'Kingdom Hearts III' will have an accompanying Ultimania guidebook releasing on February 28, 2019, a month after the game's release! For those unaware, the Ultimania books in the past typically contained additional information on a Kingdom Hearts game (such as enemy stats and revelations from Tetsuya Nomura himself) along with some artwork. The 'Kingdom Hearts III' Ultimania can now be pre-ordered at the Japanese Square-Enix e-store for ¥2700 (roughly $23.79).
