Should Kingdom Hearts 3 be released on Wii U?

Wii U Daily: "Today we’ll be talking about the Kingdom Hearts series history with Nintendo, and whether or not I think it will come to Wii U!"

maybe, but they need to release the ones that never came out on the system.

hulk_bash19873696d ago

Since it is coming to the Xbox One and other Kingdom Hearts games have appeared on Nintendo Platforms already, I don't see why not.

Eonjay3696d ago

The producer has already explained why its not coming to Wii U. Everyone is ignoring Nomura. He said that the Wii U is not compatible with the version of DirectX that is used in this game.

Reported by NintendoEverything:

"The Wii U’s inability to properly support DirectX 11 is apparently one of the major reasons third-parties pointed to when asked why their PlayStation 4/Xbox One games aren't planned for Wii U."

This was announced back at E3.

ZainreFang3696d ago

Eonjay, that's wrong. He never even mentioned Wii U. The media blew it out of proportion to get more clicks.

Eh, shaders can be implemented. Sounds like their engine isn't set for capability.

Well, they don't want do the extra work just for one console. It's a publishers decision. Maybe they think a Wii U Version isn't worth (read: making them enough money) the extra work.

Maybe Nintendo should reach out to them asking if they could help them developing a Wii U version (with knowledge/developers/money).

OT:
KH seems like a natural fit for a Nintendo console. Iconic characters, vivid and colorful worlds, enjoyable by players of different age...

This logic has never made sense...

It has been on Nintendo hardware many times. The Xbox hardwrae is the only one it hasn't and its being released on it.

Something I really wonder if people who hat Nintendo live in another dimension.

BLuTheSecond3696d ago

Of course it should be released.

The more systems the better.

The question is will it sell well and be worth the effort to bring over?

Magicite3696d ago

TBH Kingdom Hearts must always be on Playstation (or at least main series).

wonderfulmonkeyman3696d ago

Dream Drop Distance, believe it or not, is a part of the main line of the series.
It's the events leading into KH3, so that theory is gone.

princejb1343696d ago

I say no
I rather them use the power of next gen
8gb ram can do a lot of great things for this game

I don't see any reason why they shouldn't

I do. Either it would be too noticable that it was a ported job or the porting would hinder the next-gen versions of it graphically, and from that teaser it looks to truly utilize what PS4 and XB1 can do. I think porting to Wii U would be hard.

iplay1up23696d ago

Kingdom Hearts, is hardly the type of game that is in need of powerhouse hardware to look good. The Wii U is quite capable of having the game look amazing and then some. So no it would not be hard to port it.

Wii U do not forget runs the latest game engines, and that says allot.

higgins783696d ago

You really think? Ok, in that case I cant wait to see the final build when its officially released and gasp in amazement, standing in the presence of the first "next gen" game in existence. I seriously, seriously doubt the Wii U's hardware could ever hold back a game of this type. I really cant wait to see what ONLY PS4 or Xbox one offer in its advantage.

wonderfulmonkeyman3696d ago

They aren't going for photo-realism, so the Wii U could easily handle the graphical quality.
Outside of that, I see no other reason why it couldn't handle the game if it were optimized correctly.

Tito083695d ago

@GotHDGame- Latest engines? Ok, when I see a Frostbite 3, UE4 and Pantha Rei on Wii U, then we talk.

...because you'd want them to take advantage of next gen hardware

Not it being held back because of the Wii U

Snookies123696d ago

I really like the Wii U, but that is my worry as well. I want it to take full advantage of the hardware of PS4/X1. I don't mind it being on Wii U as a port or something, but fans of the series have been waiting on this game for so freaking long. I don't want anything holding it back from being as grand as it should be.

ChickeyCantor3696d ago

Yeah, because the gameplay is so much different from their PS2 counterparts. This game is so complex in everyway that the Wii U will hold it back

/s

maniacmayhem3696d ago

Yes, how will the WiiU hold back Kingdom Hearts?

Please explain Foxtrot, what sort of design and new features is this game using that cannot be done when porting it over to the WiiU?

Is there a new combat feature that the X1/PS4 exclusively has over the WiiU?

Are there another set of buttons and controls that the WiiU can't handle and the X1/PS4 can?

Is the game so big that it can't fit on the proprietary Nintendo WiiU disc?

You have enough bubbles to reply and fully explain what you meant in your original comment.

TheGrimReaper3696d ago

@ChickeyCantor:
So, you've played the final game and are able to tell us the memory/cpu/gpu usage of the game?

If they are using the resources only for the visuals, yes they could port (downgrade) it easily to Wii U BUT you don't know how they are using them (neither do I)

ChickeyCantor3695d ago

"So, you've played the final game and are able to tell us the memory/cpu/gpu usage of the game? "

Have you?

Your point is pointless.

The third game WILL hold up to it's prequels. Changing the gameplay would be terrible blow to the fans. You're just talking about cosmetics. Nothing more nothing less.

MONKEYDLUFFY3696d ago

Yes! I can almost gaurantee it would sell better than on Xbox. When people say that third party games don;t sell well on Nintendo they aren't taking into account what type of games. We could care less about COD or Madden. But KH is an awesome fun creative colorful game. It fits well with the fanbase. I love Kingdom Hearts(I bought a ps2 just to play it)

lilbroRx3696d ago (Edited 3696d ago )

And is there any logic to this no besides fanboyish bias against Nintendo?

ZainreFang3696d ago (Edited 3696d ago )

The only reason is that they want to see the game take advantage of PS4/XBO power but what will they do to this Kingdom Hearts game that isn't impossible on Wii U? These people need to accept that console tech got to a point of diminishing returns and the only stuff they will get from these consoles is more polished versions of last-gen games. Third parties aren't that creative. The specs give them space to have sloppier programming. Just drop the graphic quality, and optimize for the CPU/GPGPU/eDRAM/DSP.

DryBoneKoopa853696d ago

I would LOVE for this to come to the Wii U. Either way PS4 or Wii U I will be picking KH3 up day 1.

Final Fantasy XVI Has Finally Given Donald Duck A Worthy Opponent

For a long time, it's been widely accepted amongst Final Fantasy/Kingdom Hearts fans that Donald Duck is the most powerful mage ever to exist, mainly due to his use of the stupidly powerful Zettaflare spell towards the end of Kingdom Hearts 3. This spell is one step up from Teraflare, a spell which was used in Final Fantasy XIV that was so powerful that it completely wiped out the base game, giving the developers a canonical reason to let them bin everything and start again from scratch.

Now you're armed with this information, you can see how it was pretty surprising for Donald Duck of all characters to bust out Zettaflare and establish himself as the most powerful character in Final Fantasy/Kingdom Hearts lore. However, now that Final Fantasy XVI has arrived and delivered a whole new cast of characters, a new challenger has arrived to provide Donald with some much needed competition.

Final Fantasy's Strongest Canonical Magic User Is... Donald Duck?

Final Fantasy features many strong characters, but an unlikely character from Kingdom Hearts is able to cast ​the most powerful spell ever seen

gold_drake343d ago

he was already my favourite disney character and one of my favs from KH and then to see that amazing spell too. aah so good xD

FGHFGHFGH343d ago

Final Fantasy's strongest magic user is Donald Duck, who never appears in a final fantasy game.

This Kingdom Hearts Boss' Unpredictability Gave Me Sekiro Vibes

Kingdom Hearts is filled with otherworldly boss battles, but only one stands out like a phoenix dancing with ethereal grace across the night sky. Before we embark upon a discussion concerning Kingdom Hearts' exceptional boss battles, it may be prudent to first reflect on the evolution of the criteria for appraising video game bosses. This criterion has undergone a major metamorphosis over the past decade; one that owes much to the profound influence of From Software and its iconic Souls series.

"Yozora is much more than a grueling secret encounter; he is a reflection of what Kingdom Hearts' bosses should be"

No thank you. If every boss in Kingdom Hearts was like Yozora, the series would be unplayable. That's not to say that they shouldn't include such challenges, but making them fundamental to the game would be too much. And don't say that this is what the From Software games are, because Yozora is absolutely harder than most of the bosses in those games. He is waaay faster, has a ludicrous number of abilities (and does them in random order AND can chain most of them together), and punishes you severely if you make a mistake. On top of that, you have to survive this onslaught for a really long time because of how much health he has. It's borderline too much - for me at least. Still, it's a stunning battle.

OMNlPOTENT354d ago

I agree, while I do really enjoy the Yozora fight, I think it's far too difficult to be anything more than an optional boss. However, I do believe that there should be more bosses that are in the same weight and size class as Sora, as the majority of those in KH3 were the best fights. The giant heartless bosses just aren't as enjoyable.
