I hope it's a PS3 exclusive of PS360 game but after reading this, well I think their are more chances of it becoming a Wii exclusive :(

Too bad I was hoping for a Kingdom Hearts with beatifull graphics :(

mint royale6025d ago

would be awesome! Thats where it deserves to be and disney wil have a big say!

The Killer6025d ago

wii games is like ps2!! so whats the point to make another ps2 like game?? now is the new gen with new power and new standard!! maybe they should just make a spin off of KH2 or something for wii not KH3!!!!

mint royale6025d ago

Its just the same with better graphics. Give me advancement with a next gen control system.

mint royale6025d ago (Edited 6025d ago )

I'd want it on the PC.

All I want is something differnet and want to see them try something on the wii and let them see what they come up with.

Whats wrong with that?

prowiew6025d ago

If I were square, ill do it on the wii. Thats where the money is. But personally I hope it comes to the ps3 or 360. I want it with good solid graphics.

badz1496025d ago

there nothing wrong with that! Wii is a little bit more powerfull than the PS2 but underpowered big time compare to 360 and PS3! what does that mean? if KH3 is indeed coming to Wii, we'll see almost the same KH as the one on PS2 all over again with a new story! still...there's nothing wrong with that either but I'm sure a lot of KH fans out there would really love to watch and play KH3 in HD glory!

plus...you know Wii owners! beside RE4, what other mature games that sells? how are Okami, Disaster: Day of Crisis, Zack & Wiki and No More Heroes doing? that's right...they are all dissapointments in terms of sales!

Bnet3436025d ago

Words can not express how extremely pissed I am right now.

mint royale6025d ago

yes the wii is seriously underpowered compared to the 360/ps3 but it is also much more powerful than the ps2. Even the xbox and gamecube were. Personally I don't get pissed if the graphics aren't perfect as long as the gameplay is. Are you saying that there no point in releasing gears of war 2 because it would just be gears of war 1 with slightly better graphics and a new story? Thats stupid. And if you want to talk sales you can point to a ton of ps3 games that have seriously disappointed moreso than the wii. Wat happeneed to SOCOM, Motorstorm 2, Valarinka Chronicles?

Captain_Sony6025d ago

"there nothing wrong with that! Wii is a little bit more powerfull than the PS2 but underpowered big time compare to 360 and PS3! "

PLease wither go get a clue wtf you are talking about or stop talking about it.. Wii is 733mhz. PS2 was 233mhz.. that is more than just slightly more powerful..Its no wonder none of you want th game on Wii, you are completely ignorant to anything about the console.. Disagree all you want Sony fans but it is the truth. Not one of you has offered any form of legit reason why it shouldnt be on Wii. Everything you post for why is either completely made up or proven wrong years ago..

Sharingan_no_Kakashi6025d ago

The lead director of Kh is the same as the lead director of ffversus13. He refused to make it multiplatform (despite its counterpart being multiplatform) and he'll do the same for kh3. If you know anything about him he's somewhat of a psfanboy. Kh series is his pride and joy cuz its his first series as him being lead director. Its really not up to SE as a whole to decide its platform....it's his.

KH3 on the crystal tools engine FTW.

gaffyh6025d ago

@Captain_sony - Processor MHz aren't the only thing that matters.

Here are the full specs:

Nintendo Wii
Processor: 729 MHz IBM Broadway
Graphics card: 243 MHz ATI Hollywood
RAM: 88 MB

Sony PlayStation 3
Processor: 3.2 GHz Cell processor (x 7)
Graphics card: 550-MHz Nvidia RSX
RAM: 512 MB (256 XDR @3.2GHz, 256 GDDR3 VRAM @700MHz)

Microsoft Xbox 360
Processor: 3.2 GHz IBM Xenon (x 3)
Graphics card: 500-MHz ATI Xenos
RAM: 512 MB (Shared 700MHz)

The Wii is only as powerful as an Xbox 1 (maybe slightly more)

ChickeyCantor6025d ago

@badz149

" how are Okami, Disaster: Day of Crisis, Zack & Wiki and No More Heroes doing? that's right...they are all dissapointments in terms of sales!"

Okami, considering how big the PS2 audience is....it was a disaster.
No more Heroes was his best selling title so far.
As of zack and wiki, where were the promotions and adds?

So if i look at it that way Wii isn't doing horrible.

@gaffy,
That's just ignorant to pull out spec numbers and pretend you are a rocket scientist by showing numbers that are different by 10-fold.
MHz on Paper is different, MHz is ONE factor of a processor.
The xbox had different features right out of the box, but that doesn't make the xbox more powerfull in power.
Wii is a PPC, don't forget that.
The whole Wii works very efficient, so that already could beat the xbox in horse power, in theory.

But yes the specs are lower not saying it can beat the PS3, but Wii still needs to be pushed.

mint royale6025d ago (Edited 6025d ago )

what stopped you adding the ps2 to that comparison? No one is arguning the wii is as powerful as the ps3 or 360 but it is more powerful than the ps2. Add that to your post and it will be relevant.

@sidar
Sorry I meant the guy above you.

ChickeyCantor6025d ago (Edited 6025d ago )

O...=) my bad.

rockleex6025d ago

Because the makers of Kingdom Hearts are making Final Fantasy Versus XIII exclusively for the PS3!!! >:D

Not only that, I never really liked Kingdom Hearts. The story was too childish and didn't have any depth. There was also no point to the FF characters. They played no important role whatsoever in the series.

gaffyh6025d ago (Edited 6025d ago )

Sorry guys, I was just arguing that the Wii is not a next gen (well current gen now) machine. The technology in it is almost 10 years old. Also PS2 had 233MHz processor, I wasn't arguing with that fact, it is clear that the Wii is more powerful than the PS2, seen as the Gamecube was more powerful than a PS2.

Reason I didn't mention the PS2 is that it is now irrelevant technologically speaking, as is Xbox 1, yet the Wii is only as powerful as an Xbox 1 or maybe a little more powerful.

On topic - This is could be a good move for Square, but they should atleast make it multiplatform to include PS2 and PS3. Most of their audience own those consoles.

EDIT- Also @sidar - I was also going to post Bus speed, and memory bandwidth (which differs immensely between consoles), but I couldn't be bothered lol.

princejb1346025d ago

idk if moving the kingdom hearts series 2 the wii is a good idea
even though the wii sales are dominating
the software sale is kind of sad for a system who sells alot

if it is brought to the xbox360, most users, who've had a xbox than upgrade to the 360, might not know the story if they havent played the previous 2

as for the ps3, i believe many ps3 owners have had a ps2 and have bought played the previous 3 games(kh1, kh2, kh:com), and are hoping the story to continue on the sony system
well this is my OPINION

iamtehpwn6025d ago

If he refused to let Versus XIII go 360, then I doubt KH3 would go wii.

Then again, IT looks like there won't be a KH3 until Ps4 at this rate. Versus XIII is coming ~2010, after all.

badz1496025d ago

see...I already said that there is nothing wrong with releasing KH3 on Wii and mind you, this is far from Gears case. gears1 was already in HD and it's not like xbox720 is already around for the urge to go beyond what they already achieved in gears2, isn't it? but KH was last gen game and right now, there are 2 HD consoles on the market! so, tell me if you really don't have wished to see KH3 in HD?

ok, I'll retracked my prior statement. the Wii is far more powerfull than PS2! but that doesn't change the fact that it's not HD capable! all I want to say is...KH FANS WANT TO PLAY KH3 IN HD!!

TheDude2dot06025d ago

Why does Square alienate their fans with this crap?

psnDevistator3566024d ago

1.11 - guys stop worrying
The lead director of Kh is the same as the lead director of ffversus13. He refused to make it multiplatform (despite its counterpart being multiplatform) and he'll do the same for kh3. If you know anything about him he's somewhat of a psfanboy. Kh series is his pride and joy cuz its his first series as him being lead director. Its really not up to SE as a whole to decide its platform....it's his.

KH3 on the crystal tools engine FTW.

I'm not worried at all for KH3 going to ps3 but for the cheap spinoffs I don't care if wii or 360 has them.

Mini Mario6024d ago

I agree with most of what u say. So dont feel bad bout all ur disagrees lol

I hope it does go exclusive, ..that would funny, quite funny. Depending on what they did to the game it may actually not be ported to the ps2 either, u know coz of its limitations. lol

Megatron086024d ago

Well Hiroshi Takai just said he wants to do his next project on the 360. Maybe thats a hint that KH3 will be on the 360

mint royale6024d ago

Well i've found a few facts for you all then.

1) A troubling note for the industry - 6th generation consoles continue to outsell 7th gen consoles and show no signs of slowing. This is the first time in history a previous generation has outsold its successors.

2) Nintendo is the first company to launch 2 entirely seperate home consoles in the same generation since Atari did it in the 2nd generation.

3) Nintendo is on track to win the 6th generation, dethroning the PS2, a surprise considering how late it entered the race.

4) Wii holds the record as the latest entry into a generation in history. The 6th gen started in 1998 with Dreamcast, and Nintendo waited until 2006 to release the Wii, making it 8 years. The previous record was 7 years, held by the Sega SG-1000 (released 1983), from the 2nd generation that started in 1976.

5) Developers are supporting two generations of consoles with multiplatform titles, and even new exclusives, a practice that was previously quite rare.

6) The 6th gen is the longest generation in history at 10 years, and projected to last up to 15 years. The previous record was 9 years.

7) The 7th generation is on track to have the lowest sales since the 3rd gen. So far it's the most dissapointing generation in history.

In which generation a console is placed is not determined by graphical whore fanboys.

Don't bring it to Wii :( :( :( :( I want to see Donald and Goofy like in the CGI cutscenes

el_bandito6025d ago (Edited 6025d ago )

If there's any truth to this, I'd still love SE to death. Not.

Omega46025d ago

I think now that the Wii got Dragon Quest X its very unlikely it will get Kingdom Hearts as well

Mainly because every current gen system has a Major exclusive Square Enix franchise except the PS3

360 = Star Ocean
DS/Wii = Dragon Quest 9/10
PSP = Parasite Eve
PS3 = ??????????

So it looks more likely to me that the PS3 will get KH3 as an exclusive especially if SE wants to be fair

hay6025d ago (Edited 6025d ago )

PS3 = versus
psp = agito
and so on.

el_bandito6025d ago (Edited 6025d ago )

FFXII anyone? Just joking. Anyway, PS3's got Versus, if SE keeps their word (See first sentence.)

@ Omega - I see your point. Currently there is no major non-spinoff SE franchise on the PS3.

Hmm... IMHO if there ever was one flagship SE game on the PS3, I would want something better than KH though.... More kick-a$s to be precise....

Omega46025d ago

Yes i know the PS3 got FFvsXIII but that not the CORE FF game its just a spin off like Kingdom Hearts:BBS or Final Fantasy Chocobo whatever

If the PS3 had FFXIII exclusive then yes i could see KH3 going to the Wii but since it multiplatform now the PS3 doesnt have a major franchise game which is exclusive

thereapersson6025d ago

Omega4 making a sensible comment? What's this world coming to?

hay6025d ago

It's hard to say if Versus is a spinoff. Either way, If you want to play whole FF13 "trilogy" you have to stick with Sony consoles as for now. I don't see here any lost position.

Sharingan_no_Kakashi6025d ago (Edited 6025d ago )

versus13 is not a spin off. How can there be a spin off to a franchise that has no main plot?

I agree with your main comment though.

renanbianchi6025d ago

Of course it is unlikely, Square Enix Stabbed Sony on the back, it will never ever support the PS3 in wathever game it makes, it's plataform is Xbox 360

butbutbuttehcell6025d ago

Stabbed it in the back? It hardly said screw you Sony we're not making this for you anymore. Instead, they assessed the 6 million larger install base of the 360 and said 'we're not gonna lose so much money on FF13 which has cost us millions, we're gonna bring it to the largest audience possible...' But yeah carry on thinking it was a personal betrayal or something pathetic like that...

badz1496025d ago

and look where that move has brought them! all those 360 exclusives SUCK! to think that SE will ever get this low is something I've never thought before! I love KH series and then FF:CC but I'm in no way saying that they are wrong for going 360's way! but they are wrong all the way by releasing CRAPs! so...what good will a 6 millions more user base if the games themselves are CRAP?

Veneno6024d ago

She-yeahhh, There's a PS3 Squeenix eclusive called final Fantasy versus 13, which looks better than FF13 proper, as far as the trailers show. So squeenix is more like a whore, it gets around on all consoles equally ;)

cayal6024d ago

"we're gonna bring it to the largest audience possible."

Then it would be going to the Wii and PS2.

Nice try though.
