Hey everybody!

E3 2010 has given Kingdom Hearts fans everywhere all they could ever want - and more! New images straight from the Nintendo Conference confirm a new Kingdom Hearts game is in the works for the Nintendo 3DS, referred to as Kingdom Hearts 3D Demo. 

Many thanks to the Nintendo E3 Network and to KHDestiny.com. Discuss this on our forums!

The folks over at IGN.com posted their impressions of the Kingdom Hearts 3Dtrailer, which can be read below:

The trailer starts off with Sora and Riku sitting out by the starfruit tree on Destiny Islands. Then Riku disappears in a swirling flash of light. Sora calls after him and runs around the island (the game switches to gameplay here).

Sora runs through the island a bit, showing off the locale. Sora is shown using the glide ability, The game cuts again and shows Riku waking up Traverse Town (the main hub world of the PS2 game). He goes into a courtyard and is surrounded by a bunch of Heartless. Then he looks up and stuff gets crazy.

The sky starts raining Soras.

One of the Soras lands and busts out his Keyblade. The game switches back to gameplay mode here and shows Sora bashing the Heartless. After all the Heartless are defeated a huge soldier Heartless boss rises from the ground. Before Sora can battle him he snaps awake, back on Destiny Islands, sitting with Kairi by the starfruit tree. The camera pans up to the night sky and shows the title screen, Kingdom Hearts 3D.

After much speculation as to the true nature of Kingdom Hearts 3D, several tweets from Square Enix producer Shinji Hashimoto have confirmed that it is indeed a "completely original title". He went on to explain that, "with this and KHRc, two KH games will appear on portable game machines" and that KH3D was the "information with impact" he promised earlier.

While the game was not playable on the E3 show floor, Square Enix did prepare a 3D movie showing off the product. "Everything begins with this video," Tweeted Hashimoto. We'll be sure to keep you covered!
