Kingdom Hearts Prequels Coming

According to Quartermann's reports from 1up, in the latest issue of EGM, speculation is high about a Wii-xclusive spin-off of the Kingdom Hearts franchise. Now, a series of prequels may be in the works for different platforms, much like the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII has done so. The FFVII Compilation has reached PS1, PS2, PSP and mobile phones so far, and the Kingdom Hearts series may very well follow suite.

Kingdom Hearts games have appeared on the Playstation 2 (Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts II) and the Game Boy Advance (Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories.)

Square is expected to make an announcement at this year's Tokyo Game Show, scheduled for late September.

Word on this blog or w/e it is; is " speculation " which means its a guess -.-

[Chaos Striker]

speculation is a guess. And that's why its under rumors. but we all know that something is brewing....and the chances are pretty high for this to happen.

[jkoz]

"Rumors" man... that's exactly what speculation is. And it was blogged on a reputable site. Thanks for reestablishing that for us.

if its true.
COME ON..... stupid spinoffs. chain of memories was bad enough. final mix didnt even change up the combat system... just get on with kingdom hearts 3....

but i guess the developers are workign too hard on FFvs13 to care about kingdom hearts now.. ah well, gotta sacrifice something :(

[btkadams]

this is so lame. kingdom hearts 1 and 2 were played by people who had ps2s, why confuse those gamers and put kh games on the wii and ds? i know chain of memories was on the gameboy but that was barely a game, it was totally different and was even remade on the ps2. the ps3 is waiting for u square, and so are we.

[junk56]

the team that did the kingdom hearts franchise is doing FFvs13 atm so they wont be handling the next kingdom hearts game (if it goes to the wii).

but videos and secrets hint kh3 is coming to the ps3, not to mention the team is already working on the ps3 so more the reason to put it on ps3. but i wont be surprised if it goes to the wii, but its a split between the wii and ps3 or both. trust me, its not going to the 360

[jkoz]

If a KH game comes out on Wii, who says it's going to be KH3? Chain of memories wasn't KH2. The Wii one may be another spinoff, and the "real" KH3 may come out on PS3. I don't think the article mentioned *anything* about "Kingdom Hearts III", only the idea of spinoffs and sequels...

I welcome 3 an hope they think about remaking ff7 next!

The thing about kingdom hearts is that is so kiddie/non-kiddie anyone can enjoy it.I think people are going overboard that there might be a wii exlcusive, i think its logical because of the fact that KH is pretty much a kiddie/casual game. But i think it will be like a more mini-game based thing. Can't wait for KH3 though, think about how far the grafics might have come, look at KH2 it was beautiful!(except the Pirates of the Carabian thing though uhhhhh).

what are we gonna have more Angst but this in the form of 9 year olds?
Oh so an 9 year old saves all universes?

I mean the series was all ready plot hole continuety ignoreing crap yay more crap from the disney/square universe.

Regardless of the system the games sucked.

By the way i own Kingdom hearts final mix, and Kingdom hearts 2 final mix+ *imported them* I rented the first games to play them, and to complete my square collection *of which I own every square soft title* by the way i have you ignored.

But i just had to see what you'd say, and what did you say? you used offensive languge, and you commited a personal attack againest me good for you!

P.S: kingdom hearts 1 and 2 sucked, filled with plot holes and continuity problems.

Kingdom Hearts 2.5 for Wii. (post-2, pre-3)

Kingdom Hearts 2 for PS3.

[Darkiewonder]

Don't you mean 3?

xD

[bootsielon]

If Parasite Eve and Final Fantasy were there, I don't doubt Kingdom Hearts will (possibly 0.5, or -0.5), and eventually Dragon Quest

[DethWish]

Seems very likely...
Didn't like CoM, but Wiimote....

Happy I bought a Wii :)

[jkoz]

Me too :) Wii ftw

[Glitch929]

Does anyone know if they will be making KH:CoM for the PS2? I heard they may do that from a magazine I read awhile ago, but haven't heard anything lately. Now, I'm just starting to hear about 3 prequels, all on different devices. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated!
