The Kingdom Hearts games are headed to the Nintendo Switch through cloud streaming

kingdom-hearts-1-scaled.jpg

Announced today alongside the final character reveal for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate was that Kingdom Hearts is coming to the Nintendo Switch. Three titles will be available, letting you catch up on all the series lore: Kingdom Hearts I.5+II.5 ReMIX, Kingdom Hearts II.8, and Kingdom Hearts III. These games will utilize cloud streaming to be playable on the Switch, rather than be straight up ports to the console. No release date was given.

Streaming isnt't an option for me. And the console is to weak to get a full expirience.
Why should I pay for a crappy 720p@30 fps port when I can play it in 4K@60 fps and the whole ps4 collection is really cheap.
There is absolutely no reason why you should play this on :switch:

If more countries had better infrastructure that would support cloud gaming with ease then I would be all for it since the PC at the other end of the line could be crazy powerful (someone in this thread mentioned it earlier) not to mention it would reduce electronic waste a sizable amount, better for the environment. But at this point in time we simply aren't ready for cloud gaming yet as it is still very inaccessible for a large amount of people.

It means some dubious PC in nomandsland is "playing" the game,
then sends you video&audio and reacts to your keypresses.

Just imagine the lags...
This is what you can expect of this "solution"
(SE sofar brought Control and Hitman, which both fared terrible what makes em think this'll do better ?)

Also this won't even be available in all countries.
Let that sink in.



I wonder if this was merly a stunt by SE to gauge interest.
No matter where I go, no matter the language spoken.
Most responses are 98/2 against SE.

If I were them I'd pull a
"Ahahaha we were just kidding. Just 177 days till april fools ! "

Yeah no.

PS:
Remember that even if you "bought" the game, during "peak" usage times you might get places in a queue...
Good luck with even playing then.n

Oh boy cloud versions of PS2 and PSP remakes. With the proper work KHIII could probably work too. It'll be ugly (or remade models and textures) with toned down effects but the Switch could probably handle it. But it's Squeenix who thought that porting the incredibly stripped down mobile version of FF XV to the Switch was a good idea.

I haven't tried enough cloud games on the switch to know if this is good or not, but I don't see why the first few ones even need this.

I don't expect nothing. What I mean is (how much you pay and what you get for your money).
You can get the "Kingdom Hearts All-in-One Package" which is a retail version for $40. You pay it once and you can play whenever you want and the game belongs to you. Correct me if I'm wrong but the switch version can't give you all these advantages.

None of them, indeed. Also: if theese are the PC versions they'll have the same problems. Most of them are already solved, but you still can expect some crashes in KH2 and KH3D, so... Yeah, just forget this lame console and buy a PC or any other console...

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it
    +1
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

    It's always worth a shot

    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
