With these new editions, you’ll be able to play the Kingdom Hearts series on the Nintendo Switch via cloud streaming if you have a stable internet connection. Kingdom Hearts series producer Ichiro Hazama told Nintendo Life last October that “Bringing these titles to Nintendo Switch proved to be quite difficult for various reasons, including the storage capacity of the hardware.” Hazama followed that up by saying, “We believe that the Cloud version is currently the best way to deliver the Kingdom Hearts series to Nintendo Switch players.”
Some users might be worried if the games can be played comfortably on their internet connection or not. If that’s the case, you can test them out first by playing the free demos that are currently available. In the demo version, KINGDOM HEARTS HD 1.5 + 2.5 ReMIX CLOUD VERSION can be played for up to 15 minutes, and KINGDOM HEARTS HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue CLOUD VERSION and KINGDOM HEARTS III + Re Mind (DLC) CLOUD VERSION can be played for up to 10 minutes, twice.
The series’ 20th-anniversary website has opened in conjunction with the release date announcement. A variety of campaigns are scheduled, including an on-site anniversary event taking place on April 10 in Tokyo. An archived video of the event will be made available at a later date.
