We have information on Kingdom Hearts not-3

by Nick Doerr { May 1st 2007 at 3:30PM }

We know that the next Kingdom Hearts game isn't going to be a direct sequel to Kingdom Hearts 2. We were imagining that it'd be a spin-off like Chain of Memories and we figured right. Sora will not be involved in this spin-off and it won't be on the PlayStation 3. Chances are it'll be stuck on a portable system. Either the PlayStation Portable or the Nintendo DS. Following the trend, it's more likely to pop up on the DS, though going to the PSP would really put an A-list title in its library.

So what does the game entail? Oh, darn, that would've been a great pun if I waited. Anyway, you'll get it. You'll play through the story of how Mickey came into possession of a keyblade and what went down in the world of darkness. There's going to be a pretty big focus on Roxas (or Sora-X if you like that better... Breath of Fire 2 really started the whole Name-X thing. Awesome). We'll keep you posted on the new information as they become available.

@ Moe -- I wish I could, but just like the dude in the movie Crank, if I stop posting, my heart will stop and I'll somehow implode into a different dimension, where I will be the internet on which people blog. It would be frightening.

pretty much every girl gamer i know is waiting for the news on KH3 before buying a ps3. I really think sony should push squenix to release one more.

And I agree, looking at the DS sales in Japan, and Kingdom Hearts popularity there, the DS would make the most sense.

How was the gameplay on chain of memories? It didnt look very good so i didnt buy it. but now its a cheap used buy so im thinking of picking it up.

What did this story have to do with the Playstation 3 outside of the mention that the title would NOT be coming to the system.

My bets:

It'll come on Nintendo DS or Wii. Wii makes so much sense, keyblade joins wiimote, the engine doesn't need to be changed that much, and so on, and the target demographic AND installed base is already there; it's a huge success.

The next game, KH3, will come for PS3, when it has a decent installed base, and it will be made from scratch, with rumble and sixaxis support.

Sorry to be a party pooper for PS3. :S
