Many Kingdom Hearts 3D characters will be playable exclusively on the Nintendo 3DS when the action-RPG game releases in July 20-31, 2012. So far, most of the characters announced are returning favorites, but the game will also have brand new characters and all-new worlds from Tron: Legacy, Pinocchio, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, The Three Musketeers and others.

The list of confirmed characters is 68 so far, although not all have been officially announced by Square Enix since they would be OBVIOUS SPOILERS – so be warned when you read the list that sometimes it’s more fun to play the game and be surprised. 🙂
