Any North American Kingdom Hearts fans here? If so, you might want to listen up! Square Enix just announced today that there'll be a collectors edition bundle for Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance, especially for North America!
This "Mark of Mastery" edition includes the Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance game, a specially-themed Nintendo 3DS protectors case, 12 art cards featuring art from all of the games within the series, 5 AR cards that unlock rare Dream Eaters, and a 360° display stand to view your cute Dream Eater recruits. All of these goodies are bundled together in a magnetic case with an outer sleeve and costs $54.99 (which is just $15 more then just getting the game by itself).
But hold on folks, that isn't all. When you preorder the game, you'll receive three AR cards; one unlocks one of the three rare Dream Eaters (Ursa Circus, Sudo Neku or Meowjesty), the second unlocks the R&R Seal Dream Eater, and the other card is the the 360° viewing stand.
Amidst all these exciting updates on the western version of the game, Square Enix has finally put up an English trailer for Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance!
The trailer has the same exact footage as this trailer released earlier in Feburary so if you already watched that you essentially won't be missing out on much; the only difference being that you'll get to hear the English voices of the cast.

In an interview with Famitsu, Tetsuya Nomura revealed some titbits from Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance, including some ideas that never made the final cut.
As you should know, one of the newest worlds in Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance is the Tron Legacy world known as "The Grid." Originally, Nomura intended to have Sora in the Tron world featured in Kingdom Hearts II while Riku would have his adventures in the Tron Legacy World.
Square Enix recently updated the Japanese site for Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance with some more information under the characters and system and worlds sections. But perhaps the most exciting addition to this update is a brand new trailer!
This special trailer is approximately nine minutes long and its just as mind-blowing as the one shown at Jump Festa. It shows off a lot of more footage of the Tron: Legacy world, featuring Sam Flynn, Kevin Flynn, and Quorra. There's also a scene where Sora confronts Braig in The World That Never Was and the many forms of Master Xehanort appearing in the white throne room. There's a whole lot more to this trailer so go check it out for yourself below! Special thanks to KH13.com for the English subtitles.

The game covers for the Kingdom Hearts titles have always been intriguing and the cover for its latest installment, Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance, is no exception to that.
The cover was revealed on Square Enix E-Store's Twitter page and is made by non other than Mr. Tetsuya Nomura himself. It's set over a blue sky and clouds background and has the short, silver haired Riku floating upwards while Mickey is reaching out to the sleeping and falling Sora. See the box art for yourself here.
So what are your thoughts on the Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance box art? Does it come out on top compared to the box art of the other games in the series? Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance is out in Japan on March 29.
