Kingdom Hearts 3D video has 10 minutes of gameplay fun that jumps any language barrier

Kingdom Hearts 3D might be have a pretty vague release date in the US, but Japan is getting the game in just a matter of days. If you’re an importer with a Japanese 3DS and a grasp of the language, you’ll be able to dive right in, but what about the rest of us? Fortunately Square Enix released a crazy long video for the next KH that has a beauty that transcends language.
