Square Enix announces North American release dates for Theatrhythm Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts 3D

The Nintendo 3DS is getting two Square Enix games this summer in North America.

Theatrhythm Final Fantasy will drop July 3. This unique game features a blend of the role-playing and music genres. Heroes from the franchise will set out on a musical journey to take on memorable villains. Fighting them is by rhythmic taps of the stylus. More than 70 musical scores from 25 years of the Final Fantasy franchise will be available, including music from field themes, battle arrangements and key events.

Coming July 31 is Kingdom Hearts 3D (Dream Drop Distance), allowing you to play as Sora and Riku, two of the most popular characters in the Kingdom Hearts franchise. Players will be able to switch between them, using the Drop Gauge for strategic battles.
