July 23, 2012 - PRLog -- After two amazing parties, StreetPass NYC will conclude its month long “Summer of Square Enix” celebration by dropping into the biggest party of them all: Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance at the Nintendo World Store (10 Rockefeller Plaza, New York, New York 10020) on Saturday, July 28th from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM!

The event will already be jammed packed with fun activities provided by Square Enix and Nintendo World Store staff: A rare chance of purchasing the game (while supplies last) THREE DAYS before Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance releases America-wide on July 31st, plus the ability to pose with the official Keyblade, special gifts with purchase of the game, free posters while supplies last and MORE!

To commemorate this special occasion, StreetPass NYC and Apple Kissa will reality shift the event with their own separate fan-run addition: A Kingdom Hearts Cosplay Contest!
