THE BUZZ: A few new tidbits of information have been released about the upcoming Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance for 3DS.

Coming from aibo_ac7 on Twitter, the news from Japanese publication Jump Festa is the Kingdom Hearts 3D will be hitting Japan in March 2012 (versus the less specific “Spring 2012″ release date it had before).

As well, it seems as if three characters have been announced as being in the game: Axel, Terranort, and Vanitas.

EGM’s TAKE: Okay, instead of pretending like I know something I don’t, I’m going to be completely honest here: Not being a Kingdom Hearts fan, I haven’t the first clue who any of those characters are. Anybody mind helping me out, and explaining who they are in relation to the storyline?
