Kingdom Hearts 3D July?!?!

So not a whole lot of new news has come out in the world of video games lately. But E3 is steadily on its way so I am sure that we will see some exciting stuff then!

Slowly but surely Square-Enix has released little tid bits of information about there next Kingdom Hearts installment, Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance.

This game follows Kingdom Hearts: Coded and is the leading story into Kingdom Hearts III, according to Tetsuya Nomura, this games story is on the level of that of a main title not unlike Birth By Sleep.
This installment features Sora and Riku who have been summoned by Master Yen Sid, to take the Mark of Mastery exam. He fears that Sora and Riku will need to be true Keyblade Masters in order to face the coming darkness of the return of Master Xehanort.
The exam will take place in world who have been saved from darkness but in the process where transported to a world of Sleep. This keeps them safe from Heartless and Nobodies but in turn subjects them to a new threat our hero's have never faced before.
The Dream Eaters.
Dream Eaters come in two different verities, the Nightmares who eat dreams and will be the massive enemies that Sora and Riku will face, and Spirits, who will actually be aiding Sora and Riku along there journey.
The worlds confirmed thus far are:
Destiny Islands
Twilight Town (been seen in cut scenes not in actual game play)
Radiant Garden (also seen in cut scenes not in actual game play)
The World that Never Was
Travers Town
Country of the Musketeers (from Mickey and the Musketeers)
La Cite de Cloches (The Hunchback of Notre Dame)
Pranksters Paradise (Pinocchio)
Symphony of Sorcery (Fantasia)
The Grid (Tron: Legacy)
While I am excited about some of these worlds none excite me more than that of The Grid, Tron:Legacy was an amazing movie and while I wish they would have saved it for KHIII I am excited still to see its being used.
Also exciting is to see Sora and Riku's outfits for The Grid, they look amazing!!
We will also see the return of some notable characters as well, Axel/Lea, Zexion/Ienzo, Braig/Xigbar, Aeleus/Lexaeus, Vexen/Even, Xaldin/Dilan, and last but not lease Master Xehanort, Xemnas and Ansem Seeker of Darkness also return, with a new addition of what people are calling Young Xehanort.
The opening movie has also made reference to, Terra, Aqua and Ven, Roxas and Xion as well as Kairi of course.
The one thing in this game that still has yet to be answered is that for Riku and Sora, this game follows immediately after KHII, and yet when they venture into the world of sleep they look younger than they do in KHII?
The title of this installment, Dream Drop Distance actually has meaning, Dream being the world of Dreams in which the game takes place, Drop being the method in which they go from world to world as well as being able to swap between Sora and Riku in game, and Distance being the distance between Riku and Sora.
This is what is known about the game thus far, it is set to release in Japan on March 28th and it is looking like the US release date is sometime in July!!!
