Kingdom Hearts HD Remix To Be Shown At E3 2012 For PS3, Wii U, and PS VITA

Dual Pixels - We've gotten word that next week, all of the titles you see in the image above will be remastered into what we currently know as Kingdom Hearts: HD Remix or Kingdom Hearts: Remembrance. Our reoccurring source Geno, who had been the first to break news about the Castlevania Lord of Shadows sequel prior to anyone else, has informed us

[PirateThom]

I have never played a Kingdom Hearts game, but if they can bring them all in one collection I would check it out.

[NastyLeftHook0]

there great games, you have my recommendation.

[Abash]

How would the DS games look in HD? O_o?

But if this is true, Tetsuya Nomura officially hates the Xbox brand lol

[AmkOwns]

Xbox isn't that popular in Japan im guessing

[The_Devil_Hunter]

Man they are some of my favorite games!!! Damn it so good to be agaemr

[slixshot]

Please be true.

[PshycoNinja]

I remember playing Kingdom Hearts 1 when I was 12 in 2002. It was the first game I ever cried to. The ending was so beautiful.

Thom I would not pass up these games. I remember when I first heard about the disney in the game I refused to play it. My childhood friend promised if I didnt like the game after playing two hours he would buy me a pizza. Sad to say, I never got that pizza. The next day I bought a PS2 and Kingdom Hearts.

[gta2800]

I remember talking a lot of shit about the first Kingdom Hearts. Calling it gay cause of all the Disney characters...I didn't even really know much about the game other than the fact that it had Disney characters in it....then my friend brought it over one day and lets just say I ate a lot of my words that day. Kinda learned not to judge a book by it's cover after that incident cause that game became one of my favorite RPG's. Right behind Legend of Dragoon, Final Fantasy 8 and Final Fantasy 10.

[Kevin McCallister]

@1.1.7 Same thing happened to me. I remember getting on the school bus and my friend showed me Kingdom Hearts in EGM. I couldn't believe he was showing me a Disney game, so I definitely clowned him for it. Then the game came out and it became one of my favorite series ever. I have all the games except Birth By Sleep because S-E won't put it on the damn PSN store so I can download it on Vita. This news here must be the reason why.

[TheLyonKing]

agreed the story is well thicked out and the only reason people complain is cause its spread over multiple systems but having it untifyed would be a clever idea.

Everything from orginal socres to the opening themes are done to a T

[Tired]

After scoffing at them and being told to give them a chance I did. I really enjoyed them.

A lot of eastern philosophy mixed with Disney characters with FFesque gameplay.

[FlareDReborn]

I've been waiting so long for this to get confirmed...I cannot wait till it releases!

[Stephen5543]

I really want this to be true, but this is technically a rumor. Definitely not confirmed yet.

[princejb134]

i pray this is true
love this game
maybe square enix will finally do something right this gen
since they don't want to deliver ff7

[iamlegend9999]

Square enix has been doing fine. Don't know what your talking about. But KINGDOM HEARTS HD COLLECTION!!! HELL YEAH!!!!

[Totoro17]

13 disagrees say otherwise iamlegend9999 (one of those were mine). SE has been dragging this series through the mud just to make a quick buck. Honestly, I would have preferred KH3 news, but this...it's a step in the right direction.

[Nimblest-Assassin]

Same... never had a PS2... but people rave about KH... I might get this collection for vita

[Veneno]

Yup. Never plaayed a KH game either. I would totally play this on Vita. Handheld is the best way to experience older gen and classic games IMO.

[user5467007]

Wouldn't you think they would wait untill Dream Drop Distance is out before they do something like this

I mean isn't DDD a key game to play before they bring out KH3...I know a long way off but still

The ending of DDD apparently sets up the events of KH3 so you would think that would be in here aswell

I mean it's bad enough they came up the most ridiculous idea of making them for Nintendos handhelds anyway since most KH fans are more likely to have a PS3/PSP/PSV instead...especialy with DDD a game which is needed to understand the story in KH3

[Outside_ofthe_Box]

KH3D definitely needs to be in this collection.

BUT I am HYPED as sh** right now and this is ONLY A RUMOR... I pray that this is true(with the addition of KH3D).

[jhenri]

The rumor is about them announcing the HD collection not when they are releasing it. They can announce it at e3 and wait for KH3d to release it.

[ReservoirDog316]

Haha, this is the* best news I could've hoped to get! It's all the good ones! Finally people will get to play BBS! I hope it's the final mix versions too!

I really love KH...

I'll be so sad if this doesn't get announced.

[Sevir]

Its pretty crazy but that'll be the only other HD collection worth getting for me besides the ICO collection!

[Cryptcuzz]

You should really check them out. The story is pretty cool, the game is fun to play, and the characters are memorable.

[fatstarr]

this would make me angry
since I have all of these games
and i bought a Psp for birth by sleep.

@thom they are reallt good. illegally id say pick up a ps2 emulator and check it out.

legally buy a 10$ ps2 and a 10$ used copy of KHII

its the same thing since sony already got their money for the console and the square got their money for the game.

[MEsoJD]

I can see PS3 getting all games except the 3ds one. I doubt the WiiU would anything, but the 3ds version. Why? because every title, but the 3ds have sony properties, if I'm not mistaken.

[ronin4life]

What sony properties?

[showtimefolks]

one collection for 60 bucks in HD i will get it day one

[Jamegohanssj5]

Microsoft Lost

TGSI

[Jazz4108]

And you base it on what....a rumor. In that case Sony lost as in most of the founding people from square formed Mistwalker and refuse to work on anything sony. That's pretty bad when a japanese company gives them the cold shoulder. That fact but if rumors are what you like then how about splinter cell on 360 exclusive. Since journey keeps being brought up like a full title then I guess arcade games count and in that case MS has way more exclusives this gen then sony and at the retail level both company's are neck in neck with ms having a small advantage an that's funny as sony fans claim ms has no games bu was really true is sony had no games period until just the last few years.

[Jamegohanssj5]

Your parents lost.

TGSI

[Xof]

I never played any of the sequels. I remember liking the first game, just not enough to buy the others when they came out. I've been thinking of trying one of the DS or that new 3DS games, but feel like I'd kind of be "out of the loop." I'd like to get into 'em again (I remember really loving some parts of the first game) but the franchise isn't really accessible at the moment.

Thanks largely to Sony's removal of b/c, and S-E's refusal to toss any of the PSP games up on the PSN.

I would very much welcome an HD port.

[NBT91]

Even if they dont, give them a try, Thom, if you can, they are great. I will say the first one is a bit underwhelming but from KH2 onwards where they knew they had a success, the plot and gameplay options really picked up.

[Raoh]

You will enjoy them, I promise.

[Mykky]

I'm guessing there will be two collections. One with KH 1 and 2 and one with the handheld 358/2, BBS and Chain of memories. This is only me guessing but i'm guessing square-enix is after money.

Although this is super awesome and I really hope it comes in one collection!

[Jourdy288]

I haven't touched the Kingdom Hearts series either, if there's an HD collection I'll buy it.

[LUCKYXS7LEVEN]

well if it does happen , at least it be a lot easier to follow the story now and wait for KH3 in 2025

[Snookies12]

Oh my God, if this is true... I'll buy 3 copies just to show support... Lol!

[PshycoNinja]

Honestly, I would buy the PS3 and Vita version if its already not bundled together!

[Raoh]

Vita for me.

[interrergator]

i will go bananas if this shit is real!!!!!!!!!!!

[araman]

I know this would be crazy, but it's not clear from any of the info - is this supposed to be a collection, or will they all be released separately?

[Summons75]

So keeping this a secret from the wife just to see the reaction on her face seeing she is in love with the franchise

[sycnation]

Me too

[RedDead]

Me three

Edit--_What PopRocks? Wtf with all the disagrees? Shi* joke?

[PopRocks359]

Somebody really needs a girlfriend.

[SandWitch]

Lol, your joke was funny. Don't know why you got the disagrees :D

[stuntman_mike]

Humour is officially dead on N4G!

[LUCKYXS7LEVEN]

i think jealousy is among us

[wwm0nkey]

I would imagine this will also be for 360 too, at this point I really dont see a reason for it not to go to every platform.

[NastyLeftHook0]

ps3 psvita wii u. yeah..sorry.

wwm0nkey, it does make sense, no kingdome hearts game is was ever on the xbox360, always on ps and nintendo.

the kingdom hearts fanbase is on the nintendo and playstation, and the games have been out like forever, any kingdom hearts fan has already bought the game for ps2 psp or a nintendo console.

millionth edit: maybe micky mouse and donald duck dont want to be on the 360.

[wwm0nkey]

Dont know why your sorry I have a PS3 and Vita and if this is true I will get the PS3 version but from a business stand point it makes no sense not to break some ground in to every market if you are going to re-release every single game.

What I am basically trying to say is if you are releasing a collection of all your games why would you only want to break into part of the market and not all of the market? It just makes 0 sense at this point in the console cycle.

EDIT: Ah the old "it was on..." argument, some people freaked out when the KH series headed to Nintendo too and that was new ground for them. Now yeah I get it, the series right now is known for being a Sony/Nintendo game but I just dont see the point in them not releasing a 360 version as well to introduce more people into the series that more people should be experiencing. Its not like its a bad thing if it comes to the 360, it just means more people will be able to enjoy a great game.

Oh wait I forgot, people with other consoles are not allowed to have fun....

Also believe me I get where you and probably the people that disagreed with me are coming from but honestly can you tell me its a bad thing if more people are playing a great game? Is there really such an issue with that? I mean like I said I am fine because I have a PS3 if this rumor is true but I would also like it if more people could enjoy this game.

[wolokowoh]

@wwm0nkey It doesn't matter that is what on the PS and Nintendo platforms in the past but the reason it's coming to Wii U and Vita are because they're just getting started and PS3 may be the lead platform. The amount of work to port it to 360 may not be worth it when by the time this is released the 360 market may have moved on while Sony is known for supporting their consoles after launch. Look at PSP currently in Japan and PS2 in third world countries today. There's still going to be a market for physical PS3 games and digital PS3 games well after a PS4 launch.

[DaThreats]

wwm0nkey
The games contain FF characters that are exclusive to the PS brand. And the kingdom hearts spin-offs always been on Nintendo's handheld console or SONY's.
@below
Cause this gaming brand been on Nintendo's console(console counts as home and handheld) already

[wwm0nkey]

Then why are those characters also headed to the WiiU then? Also I already addressed the "Its been on..." issue in my post above.

But if Sony does have a trademark on some of those FF characters (dont know if they do) then wouldnt that make this rumor invalid due to the WiiU use?

EDIT: Just because the game brand has been on the system does NOT mean they can violate trademark rules if Sony has those in place.

EDIT Below: Yes, but he was saying that Sony had exclusive characters.

[StraightedgeSES]

Final fantasy used to be on Nintendo consoles as well.

Edit: Nintendo can use the Final fantasy Characters 1-6 if they came out with KH3 those are not Sony exclusive characters. the Sony Exclusive character are from 7-12.

Edit: and Nintendo would have had ff7-9 if they went with the CD rom with the N64.

[StraightedgeSES]

The Wii U version will be different from the ps3 version

[AbsoluteZelda]

"Exclusive to PS brand" FF characters you're referring to are already in a game on 3DS. It's called Theatrhythm Final Fantasy

[TenkoTAiLS]

That's just not true at all, Chain of Memories on GBA had all the "exclusive" Final Fantasy characters in it from Kingdom Hearts 1. And Kingdom Hearts : Re : Coded had Cloud and Squall (Leon). And that's just off the top of my head. There is no truth what so ever in this "playstation exclusive Final Fantasy characters" rumor, Square can put whatever characters they created in whatever they want.

[ronin4life]

FF characters have never been owned by Sony.
Where in the hell did this fallacy come up? >.<;

[Moncole]

I dont own an xbox, but I dont know why people are so against it being on it. It means more people can enjoy it. Bring it to PC for even more people.

[2v1]

japan rpg dont sell on those ..some reason

[shinrock]

because their selfish.

[nanostar]

I'm pretty sure it's because made in Japan and we all know how well received that was over there

[Lilioups]

huh??
go check the sales of KH and KH2 u see its not "JAPAN only" who love the game.

and beside nomura hate the 360
glad this masterpiece stay with sony/nintendo
360 dont deserve these masterpieces..stick with ur fps and kinect craps..u will do fine i guess

[nanostar]

I never said it was Japan only, forgot word in my original comment was suppose to say "how well received the 360* was over there"; as I'm pretty sure they stop selling 360 in Japan

[CGI-Quality]

As already mentioned, Kingdom Hearts has never been on an Xbox platform. When a nice chunk of the game's sales come from Japan, and we know the situation there for the Xbox, it doesn't make as much sense to port over. I'm also imagining some sort of deal with Sony and Nintendo in addition.

At this point, if you want it, get it for one of the [three] platforms it's coming to. Besides, it's not like the absence of a 360 version hurts you much anyway, right? ;)

[wwm0nkey]

Oh no it doesnt effect me at all like I said due to me owning a PS3 but 360 still has a couple of million units over here so it would help with sales in the west but obviously would not effect sales in Japan like you stated.

[prboi]

It boggles my mind how dense people can be. People are still saying it's economically viable for a 3rd party publisher like Square Enix to skip a platform just because stupid things like loyalty.

Remember when all these PS3 loyalists constnatly claimed that MGS would NEVER be on 360? Well Rising was announced for 360 & PS3. Remember when people said it was just a spin off & 360 will never get the real franchise. Well the HD collection was released for 360 & PS3.

Now people are still trying to cling on to this imaginary thing called loyalty & continue to tout that the 360 will never get MGS1 & MGS4.

It does not make sense to skip a console release because of ridiculous things like that.

MGS HD sold .44 million units on the 360 compared to the .61 million on PS3.

There is no such thing as loyalty in the gaming business & the only way this game won't come out on the 360 is if Sony & Nintendo personally pay Square Enix not to & I doubt they would do that.

[lategamer]

Lol all the disagrees given to you are hilarious. Fanboys lol.

[CGI-Quality]

And that's precisely my point. Maybe Square-Enix didn't see a need to bring it to the 360 (given it may sell the least on it - versus the Wii U & Vita, the PS3 version may outsell all of them. Or maybe Nintendo and / or Sony struck deals.

Being that Kingdom Hearts has only ever been PlayStation and Nintendo titles, the exclusion of a 360 version doesn't surprise me.

[shinrock]

that would be true if the game was only coming out in japan. you do know that there are KH fans in the US ,right?

[a_bro]

HOLY SHI- would want for Vita

[supremacy]

Yeah, my girldfriend and i both have vitas, i am sure this news if proven true will excite her for sure.

[Tomonobu Itagaki]

Too awesome to be true.

[Sharingan_no_Kakashi]

*screams like a girl*

[Swiftfox]

I'm afraid I'll have to wait and see if the HD versions of Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2 are the Final Mix editions never seen in the NA territory. Only then will I personally be excited. That is, if this information turns out to be true.

[Snookies12]

Birth by Sleep should be too... That's the only Final Mix I haven't played. I wouldn't mind 1 not being Final Mix, but 2 had all the Organization XIII secret boss battles which were beyond amazing on the hardest difficulty! Plus triple wielding keyblades against Organization Roxas, enough said.

[Lindenn]

Nough my gawd... finally! KH, KH2 and Birth by sleep are the best games in the series and I was hoping theyd HD them

[Snookies12]

Actually 358 was fantastic as well, though it did drag on a little too long.

[Sanquine90]

Vita kingdomhearts HEll yeah!!

[Moerdigan]

looks like it's finally time to start playing this series.

[RurouniKaze]

man I dont want KH to be on the WiiU ;(

[DNAbro]

why???? more people would get to play it, and it is not like this is the first time it has come to nintendo.

[tweet75]

only if castlevania compilation came out in HD that is as thourogh

[delicia]

page not found. damn, if it's true, then this will be something huge. kh's one of the best game series ever.

[souljah45]

Holy fucking shit!! This better be real after all the frustration of not bringing khbbs on psn and now the whole lot....yes please

[WooHooAlex]

If it has trophy support. I will buy two copies just to say thank you to Square.

[NastyLeftHook0]

there is no reason why it would not have trophy support.

[Sanquine90]

Even without trophy support i will buy every game of kingdom hearts excepts 358/2 days... I hated that game:( i expected a kingdom hearts game..

[BIGBOSS08]

it has to support trophies. they've been mandatory since like 2009

[deletingthis34675334]

Trophies have been mandatory for years now. There is no chance this would not have any.

[supraking951]

wow all I wanted was for Sony to put Birth By Sleep on the PSN store so I can play it on my Vita, then I get this news. OMG PLEASE BE TRUE!!! Ill get both PS3 and Vita versions

[TheFirstClassic]

Holy crap, if this is true its a day one. I've wanted to play kingdom hearts for a long time now, and to have that many in one collection? Please be true.

[NovusTerminus]

O.o

SOLD!

[TenkoTAiLS]

If this is true....OMG..I'm speechless. If it does have all those titles it will be the best HD collection yet! I expected a rushed HD filter with perhaps 1&2 and Re:Com, but not the DS and PSP game too. And rumor that it will have extra sections to tie the games together, this is better news than getting the Final Mix versions, it's like having Re: Final Mix's lol! Day 1 purchase if it turns out to be true!!

[GenHero]

YES!! Finally! i've been waiting for this.

TAKE MY MONEY, ALL OF IT!!

[Lindenn]

Indeed, this would be the biggest HD collection to be released. I just hope they are all on 1 Disc(ps3) and 1 memstick (Vita). I'd buy all 3 versions and would have me sold on the Wii U

[negroguy]

This just jumped to my most wanted announcement. I only played the KH games on PS2 and missed out on the rest. If I can get all of these on the PS3/Vita it'd be a dream come true.

[Moby-Royale]

As you can see from my comment history, I do not comment very often here.

Something has to truly excite me.

This truly excites me. As a diehard fan of KH1 and casual fan of 2(I still haven't been able to forgive the changes that they made to Riku ;) lol jp.

I have wanted to play BBS for a while now, and have been dying to play through Kingdom Hearts 1 again.

If this is true, this will be first hd collection that I buy at it's full pricing.

Finally....we get to see the first appearance of the REAL "Epic Mickey" again. :P

Wooo hooo..

Agrees!!! Agrees for everybody!

*throws agrees like confetti*

Edit:(ed) for a typographical error. :)

[cmpunk53]

That is a lot of Kingdom Hearts for a handheld game(Vita). I just hope that no game will be excluded this time ala MGSPW in MGSHDC Vita.

[TheFirstClassic]

Same here, I plan to get it for Vita, but if they leave anything out I'm getting it for ps3. Would love to have all those games on the go.

[123_321]

I loved KH2. That game was my favourite game on the PS2. All of the characters were awesome, especially Riku.

[TenkoTAiLS]

Knowing Square they could pull a God of War HD, by that I mean have the PS2 games as Kingdom Hearts : Remembrance including KH1&2 and Re:Com, then do a "Volume 2" Kingdom Hearts HD Remix with the side story handheld games. I wouldn't put it past them considering they are planning on releasing Final Fantasy X HD, one single game, when they could have Final Fantasy 12 or Dirge of Cerburus in there with it >.<

[Havocmak3r]

if this happens, i'll cry...and buy all three versions

[Nodoze]

This seems a bit too good to be true. We have all seen Square trip on their dicks this generation BIG TIME. For them to come to their collective sense for this seems at odds with reality.

The part that really makes me think this is not going to come true is the additional side quests. I just don't see it happening.

[Lilioups]

no xbox version ?
hell y now its certain KH3 will be for sony only and it seems nintendo now too..well anw dont mind as long 360 not part of it.

[Unlimax]

I am very happy that I can not describe my happiness ⎝ㄒ▢ㄒ⎠ !!

[Arnagrim]

I feel this is a rumor more than anything.
1. 5 games in a HD collection is unheard of so far; especially with two of them being less than 3 years old. And if it were to happen there's little chance it would be in the usual price range games nowadays, it'd probably be similar to the Arc the Lad collection for PS1 costing 100 bucks at launch.
2. Persisting trademark issues with Tarzan causing issues with making a KH1 remake.
3. Final Fantasy character issues. Not sure if it's a Sony thing or not, but as you can see here: http://www.khwiki.net/Kingd... and the 358/2 days there's a strange absence of Final Fantasy characters(minus moogles who first appeared in FFIII(VI) on SNES).
4. Square Enix hasn't done anything to please its long time fans this generation.

[PopRocks359]

Could be a way to promote KH III if it's true. Who knows?

[Capt-FuzzyPants]

Read Nomura's more recent interviews and read specifically what he says about Days. He talked about wanting to give the game analog sticks. He also talked about how he wanted to get new people into playing the series. Also, on numerous occasions he talked about them performing HD tests to see if they wanted to do this or not.

With all those clues I was expecting something like this to happen soon, but I wasn't expecting Days to be in this and BBS was questionable. I dreamed of this happening but I didn't think we would actually get five of the six games in one collection.

[no_more_heroes]

How DARE you have the cheek to tease me!

HOW DARE YOU!!!

[belac09]

sooooo there is a god?

[JJOR64]

If this is true, hope KH 1, 2, and BBS will be the Final Mix versions.

[Ser]

MEGATON! If this is actually real, I'll buy TWO copies. The original Kingdom Hearts is still one of my favorite games of last gen. I absolutely cannot wait for this!

[thrashermario]

why this, i want an Ape Escape hd collection

E3 Team PlayStation

[Neko_Mega]

Finish two before beating one, I haven't played the others. Been wanting Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix to come out for PS3.

But this is good.

[ScubaSteve1]

so does that mean kh 3 will be on wii u and ps3

this better be the final mix collections

[TheLyonKing]

PLEASE BE TRUE! I replay KH all the time :P

I hav 3D coming out soon so that will keep me going until then :D

[listenkids]

100% won't happen like this.

PS3 if anything will get 1, 2 & Birth by Sleep HD.

[NBT91]

Well... You are wrong, clearly, because Chain of Memories was a Game boy Advanced game and the completely overhauled it with the KH game engine for the PS2.

If that can happen, then there is no reason at all that these can not at least be ported over.

[listenkids]

If I am wrong come e3 I'll come back, stating I am clearly wrong for listing SONY exclusive titles as opposed to a mix of Sony and Nintendo. Think about it for a fucking second.

Rephrase your clear knowledge of my opinion in a week.

[PopRocks359]

Uhh, he just cited KH games that have been exclusively developed for Nintendo platforms (ie Chain of Memories for GBA and 358/2 Days).

There's more evidence to suggest this HD collection would be on the Wii U and Vita than it would be exclusive to PS3.

[C0MPUT3R]

With all these HD collections. I don't need my PS2 anymore :)
.
Just give me GTA Collections, Killzone Remake, and I'm good to go.

[FinaLXiii]

oh man that´s simply ******** awesome

[Tdmd]

Awesome! I'll finally be able to check out this franchise, and to get everything in one singe package? That's really great news!

[Tres21]

really so if it came out 4 xbox it would all of a sudden brin gdown the value of the game 2 other ppl? just cuz its on a system u dont own i mean they're games that r already out just coming out so ppl who dont hav the handhelds can play so on all systems just makes sense....either way this is what i been keepin my hopes up 4 cuz birth by sleep & 358/2 ive been wantin 2 play 4 sometime now.

[Capt-FuzzyPants]

In recent interviews when he talked about wanting analog sticks for Days and wanting to be able to give new people a chance to play the series I thought a KH collection would come, and I thought maybe they would add in the DS games, but I didn't think it would actually happen. Even though I already played all these I will definitely buy them again. Maybe even twice for the Vita.

[mobhit]

I'm sold.

[ShinraE5]

Hope this is false and it hits the 360 as well. I know a lot of former PS2 fans who went to the 360 and many of us would love to see this hit the platform.

[joshuatobi]

for those saying that it should be on xbox well sadly unless its announced it aint coming to xbox, my advice get a ps3, 3ds, vita or wii u and get on with it

[Question_Mark]

This will be totally epic if it's true. Mayberry they're preparing us for Kingdom Hearts III?

[NBT91]

Nomura said a short while ago it was "Time for KH to return to consoles." (Just after they finished the 3DS game). And since said game also has links to KH3, it will have to be announced sooner or later.

Another thing is that the secret ending of KH3D already hinted at HD upgrades of the series, so its not really that surprising, but its still very cool that KH will finally be playable on a PS3.

[Clarence]

This will be good for the vita

[Capt-FuzzyPants]

It'll be good for eveything.

[DEATHxTHExKIDx]

If they can put them all in one collection i will be so happy. Regardless im buying it. More side quests that means its like a final mix version.

[soraalam1]

Hoping this is true and with the final mixes!

[NBT91]

Needs to be in full HD, maybe even 3D, have trophy support and be the Final Mix versions, if not I will only consider it...

[izumo_lee]

If the PS3 & Vita version support cross-play that would even be better. I would love to play the games at home but when i leave for work continuing my game on the go would be spectacular.

Love the series! Also those wondering how FF vs XIII will play like these games are a good indication on what to expect from FFVsXIII.

[BitbyDeath]

I would totally hit this if true XD

[iamlegend9999]

Excuse me for this long message. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.....Tha t will be all.

[MrWonderful]

I'm crying with joy right now. Please let this be true. I'll buy 2 ps3 copies and a vita copy

[Timestop]

I hope this isn't a rumor! :D but If this is true I'm getting this for the ps3 and vita! :D

[blackblades]

Finally kingdom hearts, zone of the enders collections, I'm one happy person.

[bothebo]

Don't understand why it will be on the Wii U, but whatever.

[RockmanII7]

365/2 is a DS game and Chain of Memories is a GBA game, maybe Nintendo could have disallowed them to put the games into the bundle, but allowed it if the bundle would also release on the WiiU. Another theory is now every Kingdom Hearts game will be on a Nintendo console, which would help raise awareness for KH:DDD.

[bothebo]

I highly doubt it would help them to put it on a Nintendo console. I would stick to Sony who is moving more hardware than Nintendo.

[bigjclassic]

im getting the Wii U version. Good work SE

[jdktech2010]

Like PirateThom at the very start of this post, I've never played any of the KH games and never had a PS2. I've heard amazing things about them but I just don't see how the kiddy disney characters would make a great game. It just seems so bizarre to actually work.

If this comes out, I might buy it though just to see what it's all about.

[Moby-Royale]

I thought the same thing when I first heard about it 12 years ago.

The main plot involves friendship. All of the good things and bad things that come with it.

The main plot can be very serious if you are looking at it that way.

They utilize characters like Malificent(sleeping beauty) very well.

A lot of it is romantic(I'm not necessarily referring to only love between a man and woman. Romantic has a much broader meaning and that is what I'm talking about specifically)

If you like games like Final Fantasy 7 then you are already familiar with the kind of silly humor that is sprinkled throughout.

I also can understand how fighting alongside Donald duck and Goofy could seem ridiculous(it IS after all lol) but it actually works. It gives these childhood characters some depth.

If you take the dramatics and romanticism seriously then it can be quite dark.

Plus, great action combat system. Very pretty to look at.

Look I'm twenty-three, and I could not be more excited for this. I haven't played the original in a decade, and I haven't ever played the spin-offs. So for me, this is incredible.

I hope that this is something you find appealing in the end, because I think that it's something really special.

I can't completely recommend it because I do not know you(obviously lol).

But allow me to suggest keeping your eyes on this. And possibly give it a chance.

Worst case, wait for a price drop.

I hope that I have helped you, if even to the smallest degree.

[XabiDaChosenOne]

I swear to Jesus if this comes out I will record myself bawling,I'm honestly tearing up just thinking about it. God bless you square enix.

[shotgun_ps3]

OMG OMG YES YES YES!!!!!!!! I've been waiting so long for a new Kingdom Hearts console game and this is the first absolutely amazingly greatest step that anyone could ever take. Really finding it hard to express how happy this makes me. Now if turns out not to be true :(

[Qrphe]

NO WAY! Iwanttobelieve.gif

[BlaqMagiq24]

If this happens I will piss my pants out of excitement!!!

[KrimsonKody]

Oh!

Dear God; PLEASE let it be an full compilation of all the Kingdom Hearts games.
This is something that is very well needed right about now.
Especially with KH3 approaching sometime into the future.

[TBONEJF]

Getting very tired of remake of KINGDOM HEARTS. They need to make a NEW ONE with MICKEY MOUSE with his magic hat.

[Moby-Royale]

*puts on nerd glasses*

Actually it wasn't his hat. Hence the fallout from him wearing it.

Ohhhhhh snap!

;)

[MattyG]

I really hope this is true. I never got to play these, so it would be a real treat to play them in HD for the first time!

[VideoGameJimmy]

Oh god! If this is true, I will cry!

[adamant715]

I'll be so disappointed if this doesnt come to 360. They'd be alienating a large amount of fans for sure

[KrimsonKody]

Uummm,
no.

Also;
"Vvvrrreeh" (sound of record skipping)
What KH "fanbase" does 360 have?
Not to sound critical, but 360'ers have yet to experience anything KH-related. Not even an KH comic book is available to 360 or XBN.

If anything, they can lose an potential fanbase gain.
But not lose a fanbase, as in, established fans being lost.

[RockmanII7]

I like Kingdom Hearts and I don't own a PS3 or WiiU. Just because a system doesn't have a type of game doesn't mean that the people who play on the system have never played a type of game. A group of people, however large, has played Kingdom Hearts on the PS2 and liked it but bought a 360 instead of a PS3. So yes there is a fanbase for it on Xbox, albeit likely a much smaller one than on PS3.

[adamant715]

Sorry, but I disagree. Kingdom Hearts is a last-gen franchise and to think that there are no fans of it on the 360 just because it hasn't released on it is totally idiotic. A lot of people (including me), went on to the 360 after the PS2. The fanbase may not be as big as the PS3, but it's most likely there.

[KrimsonKody]

Hmm, that is half-true.

Indeed, gamers who have moved from PS2 to XBox may have experienced KH 1 & 2, but they are not looked to when considering said XBox fanbase. It's similar to saying "Halo should be concerned about it's fanbase on PS3 & make the game multiplat, because there are XBox gamers who've migrated to PS3". I mean, yes, as an game company, you would want your product to be as prosperous as possible, but, in KH case, they don't even have sale numbers to work with when calculating an potential XBox fanbase. So maybe this compilation coming out will be just what 360 needs to show that there is a fanbase there to be served.

I believe that game companies that develop their games for a particular console/system, primarily only consider the fanbase of that console. They have the right to want to expand on that & reach more people, but if their game was never released on that console, the percentage of the potential fanbase that is there is extremely small when measured against other means of sales.

See, even you mentioned that the fanbase is most likely there, & that's true, from a gamers point.
But from a business view, that sounds uncertain, & if I was a publisher, it would sound risky to spend more time & $ to send my product somewhere, where there is no guarantee for support.

[PickDeath]

yeah but sony doesnt control Suare Enix they are just doing their own thing Microsoft owned bungie thats why it was a first party title Kindom hearts was a first title but is now a third title How can you tell it will sell bad they have never released a thing on xbox i can guarantee you there are xbox fans that play kingdom hearts you are just close minded

[Bigkurz85]

If this is succesful, maybe they'll remake FF7! :) /s

[kesvalk]

ppl are really hopeful for this E3 huh?

ppl are giving up to hype too much in my opinion...

[XperiaBoy93]

YES about time love this game. it got be my best game of all time story is the best i ever seen and combat is badass i be piking this up day 1 for my ps3 and vita :)

[belac09]

this better happen or im gonna puke.

[Plagasx]

What's the big deal? It's not like it's Kingdom Hearts 3.....

[IWentBrokeForGaming]

I was always intrigued by the gameplay in this game along with the mashup of characters... but I've NEVER played/touched the series...

I would definatley be possibly interested in a purchase!

Whats the gameplay like? I don't like turn based fighting at all... please tell me it's not?

[Capt-FuzzyPants]

It's not turn based at all. It's almost like a button masher. It's really fun though. If you accept for what it is it's a great game. It's nostalgic. It was my first and favorite game so i'm a little biased though.

[IWentBrokeForGaming]

Sweet thanks for the reply dude... definatley going to hope this does release!

[KrimsonKody]

(Snaps fingers, then waves the index finger)
Oow, no, sweety, it's not turn-based @ all.
Lol, just pulling your strings a little.

But seriously, KH can be, & is already, arguably considered to be 1 of the greatest RPGs ever, not to mention the charismatic appeal of the character mash-up. It's simply superb!

The gameplay is amazing, combat is a rush, the worlds are adaptive & addicting, & the story is very engaging. It's not turn-based, but more like action/breathless-based, because there will be times that you will wish it was turn-based (huh, what's that? Not enough time to give Donald some magic & yourself health, while dodging & defending from deadly attacks?)

One of my earlier concerns was "how the hell are cute, soft, Disney characters sling swords with the likes of Sephiroth" & such. But again, the delivery from both, Disney & Square, is top-notch.
Trust me, King Mickey is badass!

[goldwyncq]

That's it!

With the impending announcement of more Vita games along with all PS3 exclusives this year and this...I'm of officially and utterly bankrupt.

[spektical]

i would buy this especially for trophies haha.

but seriously.. they are just delaying KH3.. everyone wants that.

[turgore]

I'm interested in this franchise...never played it yet.

But aren't some of those games for the DS ? And how would they port it for the ps3 ?

[RockmanII7]

Possible Move support? If the DS version requires Move/WiiMote it would explain why it's not going to be on Xbox.

[iMaim]

Somebody pinch me.

[JAPS3KHLBP14]

I hope this true! now we just need KH3 to be announced!

[TheMrFraz]

Life would change forever if this were true. Goodbye senior year of college. Goodbye degree. I have all I need.

[PygmelionHunter]

'bout d*** time, I never got to play these, so here's hope this is true.

[tarbis]

Shut up and take my money!

[Afterlife]

This sounds too good to be true. If true, same.

[Flewid638]

KH1. Played it, beat it, thought it was one of the most boring gaming experiences of my life.
KH2. Played it, beat it, thought it was one of the most epic gaming experiences of my life.

[Redtide]

will be buying this for vita :)

[Y_5150]

No no...Microsoft not this time, wait till your older. XD

[L6RD7BLU3]

My penis just exploded from all of this awesomeness... I think I my have to go to the doctor and get checked out because curaga doesn't seem to work anymore.

[RockmanII7]

Aww, wish it would have came to Xbox if true. Oh well.

[slaton24]

than it would have been a mess load of disc if all 5 ganes are on it....but if it did more money for them but dvd disc are outdated now so yeah

[RockmanII7]

I would rather play a game separated across a bunch of discs than not be able to play the game at all. I know what you mean though, maybe just have KH1/KH2 on disc and include a download voucher for the other 3 games?

[BigDollarZoe954]

Kingdom Heart the Collection on The Vita Sounds like a great idea

[stonecold3]

cant wait i will get it for my ps3

[Ethereal]

This would be epic...

[Ezetta]

Pretty please be true!

[abzdine]

This is gonna change everything.. They just have to arrive quite soon to boos the Vita in the World. Man i hope this comes true with a release date for this fall !

[Sorrow24]

My body is ready.

[abzdine]

I dont know about my body but my thumbs are for sure !

[Sorrow24]

That too :P

[stuntman_mike]

I never completed the first game, seem's this (if true) will bring me up to date on this series. I have to admit after the second game was released i was never that keen on the direction they took it.

[Sorrow24]

I wasn't either, but Birth By Sleep changed all that. Best KH game ever made, yet.

[BlueEye]

If you still got a working PS2 and KH1 PLAY IT and finish it! You will be marking craving for this!

[Azurite]

There's no good excuse for not adding Japanese audio with English subtitles for such a release.

[guitarse]

Maaaaan this would be so freaking sweet!

[Sorrow24]

You just sounded like one of the characters from Persona 3. :P

[guitarse]

I think that's your inner geek, you heard it the way you wanted to hear it haha.

[belac09]

junpei

[LoLZoRz]

good move by them because almost no one would know the story 100% prior to the KH III.

[360ICE]

Hey, I like KH too, but I don't cry because the games are beautiful. Read one book. Seriously, read one book or watch one film. Could be anything!

I'm cynical, but I have a point

[corrus]

That's AWESOME NEWS!!!!!!!!

[BlueEye]

Fuck yeah! Been waiting for his for so long, now I can finally play Birth by Sleep!

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[suriel]

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY.

[u-bEttA-rUn]

nobody is talking about the sound track:( they are probably the best vidoe game sound tracks ever... (part 1 and 2 that is:)

[cfountain]

if its real, PLEASE let it come out this year.

[johnnyc11]

OMG, if this is true I am getting it on Day One! I am a diehard fan of the KH series. It's one of the best franchises. KH 2 is my all time favorite one. I never played 358/2 Days cuz I got rid of my DS. Being able to play all of the games on my Vita on the go with new side story missions would be a Dream Come True!

[gk07]

Why do people love buying the same games over and over again

[slaton24]

because some people are true fans, like having an older game look new and trophies, also some may want to buy them because they may have skipped them or never played them when the first was released

[tidesofblood]

Best HD collection ever period.
