A rumour has popped up that you may have seen this afternoon and it is regarding Square Enix and their upcoming Xbox One and PlayStation 4 extravaganza, Kingdom Hearts 3. A YouTube channel titled DreamcastGuy says that the company apparently really wants to get the game up and running on Nintendo Switch. If this is indeed legitimate then it sounds like they might be investigating cloud streaming options like Capcom has done with Resident Evil 7 on Nintendo Switch and Ubisoft has done with Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, both of which are streamed to the Nintendo Switch via your internet connection.
Thanks to darthwesker10 for the news tip!
Oh please no, I am a die-hard Kingdom Hearts fan but I would rather buy a PS4 than have the game lag out on my Switch. The game is gonna be fun but I rather take a 30fps downgrade vs. streaming.
I’m guessing about the streaming option, but it sounds like the most logical thing to do.
I truly agree with your logic.
I dont, this is really not that logical, you’re trying to telle me, doom and the next doom can run on switch, but kingdom hearts 3, a cartoon-rpg running with unreal engine, cant be toned down and run on switch? this is crazy.
DOOM runs on the Switch, that means every single new game, regardless of scale and complexity, must be running perfectly well on it too.
Flawless logic.
More likely a scaled down version than a streaming one. Unlike the current 2 streaming on Switch (RE7 & Assassins Creed Odyssey, both using custom in house engines that might not work well on Switch hardware), Kingdom Hearts 3 uses Unreal Engine 4 (engine that works fine on Switch).
Allegedly, Capcom asked Nintendo to add more RAM to Switch so their engine could be compatible; which Nintendo allegedly did do.
Exactly my thoughts.
How do you know it’s the Streaming version?
You do know the game is running on Unreal Engine 4, meaning it can be scaled down, just saying.
indeed 320p 20fps on switch is feasible
@ Law
Of course, if it was running at 320p on Switch, the frame rate would likely be over 100.
My guess is they could squeeze out 60fps at 720p, or perhaps 1080p at 30fps. I’d be fine with both.
Why not have more options?

If its cloud based don’t bring it. I want the original collections on switch too if that’s the case. That would be amazing
Instead of worrying about bringing Kingdom Hearts 3 to switch, how about starting with Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2 collections.
Also, to the topic, I really doubt it’s gonna be streaming, that was an absurd jump in logic to take not even remotely supported by anything in this article.
Why not all three main KH games? That would be the best bang for the buck
not surprised after the success of octopath traveler
Well, figure this out and make an announcement guys because I have the deluxe edition for PS4 on preorder and I’m not going to walk from it on “maybe we’ll release it on Switch, we’re not sure how).
I’m a little ignorant on cloud streaming and such, so how exactly would that help KH3 come to Switch? I’m curious.
Instead of your game being processed in the box next to your tv, like a traditional console or home computer, your game is processed over on Square Enix’s computers, and the data is sent back to you via the internet to be put on your tv. Hypothetically, it means that the power of your gaming system is not a limiting factor to what you can play, though it has some significant drawbacks.
1. You’re adding an extra loop in the chain before what you do goes on screen. Instead of you pressing a button, your console deciding on the result, and displaying that on screen, you’re sending the data halfway across the world, and they’re sending that info back to your console, who sends it to the screen. So you need a very good internet connection to not run into lag issues.
2. Since their servers are doing all the actual processing, years from now whenever those servers go down, you no longer have a game.
3. Anyone who likes hard copies is out of luck, as there’s less than zero reason to print a game onto a cartridge with basically no data on it, since everything about the game is stored on the company’s servers, not in the box you would buy at retail.
Well written! Point 2 scares me the most.
I’m all game for a port. Streamed, though… I will just buy on PS4. No benefit to a streamed title that needs WiFi.
Unless if you have a LAN adapter connected to your docking unit, you would have absolutely no problem whatsoever.
Except for the on the go aspect.
Maybe the next Switch will run KH3 but till then can we get the remix collections? I’d be down with that!
The supposed and rumoured new Switch it can also be a Switch that will have the same hardware of the old Switch but solves some problems just like the DSi did with the DS
True, if it’s even a real thing, I was thinking what if it’s just a Switch with a d-pad joycon 😅. In that case I hope they sell that joy on separate. I kinda am hoping for a Switch with a power boost though because MP4 and Bayonetta would definitely benefit from it for sure.
It can be a more powerful Switch so companys will not make Cloud games for the Switch
Yes, very true. I can’t stand the cloud games idea. I want KH3 on Switch but only if it’s a real game I own, not some cloud stream.. besides if it’s cloud, I don’t think it’ll even come to the US.
Would be nice with a stronger Switch, but my bet is what Reaver states; some anti-piracy version like DSi with some new feature to lure us in.
Haha, yeah it’s probably wishful thinking to expect much more than that.. guess we’ll see when it comes out. Hopefully till then ppl aren’t expecting to much to where they put off buying a Switch cuz they think there’s a more powerful version incoming.
As an avid Kingdom Hearts fan, I would absolutely love to see the 1.5+2.5 collection on Switch. That would be a bigger deal to me than having KH3 on Switch
No cloud stuff please. Just get Panic Button to help.
How about porting the game themselves?
Too risky… NOT!!!!!
Why not just get Tantus to help with a legit port? They did wonders with Zelda and Donkey Kong.
A rumor from DreamcastGuy then I have my doubts because this guy already rumoured something about the Switch but it didn’t happen. So I don’t believe it.
It’s called a rumor not a fact.
Yeah and this guy rumoured that Banjo and Kazooie reveal for Smash Ultimate before E3 2018
They still hypothetically could come though. But you’re right
Still the previous rumour was fake and I think we will see something about Minecraft in Smash
Can’t say for certain it was fake though. Never know if things was changed and he had outdated facts. Haha, might get some Minecraft in Smash.
I hope it’s not a cloud version
How about a dedicated port?🙄 This game doesn’t look THAT special, that it can’t run directly on the Switch.
It’s running on Unreal Engine 4, so it shouldn’t be an issue to get it running on Switch. I would definitely take a port over a cloud-based game stream.
I hate the idea of streaming games like this, I want to physically own my games thank you, this is even worse then Downloadable only, it’s a joke and lazy af
This is the reason why you need a MIcroSD XC Memory Card to add more of the required data in order to play a game. Look at Doom, Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus, LA Noir, NBA 2K19, etc.
You honestly might as well just go to PlayStation if you want to get into this series.
Kingdom Hearts 3 Pocket Edition :^)
CAN WE STOP WITH THE BS PLEASE any game i existence can run on a switch ENOUGH WITH THE HORSE ZHIT.. THERE IS NO STORY GAMEPLAY MECHANIC AND ART STYLE THE SWITCH cannot do THATS A LOGICAL FACT
grow up
Yeah, I’m tired of these lazy devs not porting things to run on my N64. It’s perfectly capable of running this game. It’s all a scam to make me buy more “powerful” hardware. The developers and hardware companies are in cahoots. CAHOOTS I TELL YOU!
in 240p maybe, dont let your judgment be clouded by your beliefs or love for a console, look only at factd
Didn’t you say 320p at 20fps before? Are those real factd?
Anywho, The 3DS has a resolution of 800 x 240 and the switch is capable of 1080p. Not sure what your source is, but I think their judgement is of. They obviously don’t understand resolutions or technological advancement.
Panic Button anyone?
Honestly, if we think about it, how much of the KH series was on Nintendo systems already? CoM, ReCoded, 358/2 Days, and DDD. Sony had KH1, KH2, and BBS (so far) before they did the re: CoM. I think it would be AT LEAST fair for the Switch to get the upcoming “The Story So Far” bundle before trying to cram KH3 on there
I wouldn’t have it in my house.
cool story bro
No. No, it isn’t. Pay attention.
“then it sounds like they might be investigating cloud streaming options like Capcom has done with Resident Evil 7 on Nintendo Switch and Ubisoft has done with Assassin’s Creed Odyssey”
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I’d rather not having the game at all than having this cloud-garbage.
Seriously, S-E: KH3 runs on UE4. It’s a question of retooling it. DOOM and DOOM: Eternal, which are more demanding games runs/will run on the Switch.
Make a real job, at once.
I wouldn’t care if we get it later,a port of KH3 on Switch would be AMAZING.My Internet connection sucks,I’ve never tried thoses cloud versions of games,but it sounds like a bad idea
by this they mean the poket edition of course
so many wannabe developpers in the comments😂
Ahh Yeah!! If they wanna make a shit load of money!! Lol, they would make good money on PS4 & XBOX 1X but imagine the sales with the SWITCH as well!!
& Please! No more of that “it’s graphically impossible to put our game on NINTENDO’S weaker system” garbage either!!! Put the game on the SWITCH & watch sales blow through the roof!!!
Dreamcastguy = clickbait
Probably, but Square Enix has talked about putting the game on switch before.
So this is a maybe..? Hm. Maybe, baby!
I want atleast one of the games from a kingdom hearts HD collection ported to the nintendo switch.
I always thought that Kingdom Hearts belonged on Nintendo consoles. But I’m not a fan of this cloud stuff. So it looks like I’ll just buy the PS4 versions of everything that’s cloud-based (and digital) on the Switch. Though I really should play the first two games before buying the third. I have the HD versions on PS3, but I never got around to playing them due to having SO many other games.
Then do it lol … Not me as it combines two things I hate, final fantasy and disney 😠
