Kingdom Hearts series producer Ichiro Hazama has said that native ports of the Kingdom Hearts games for Nintendo Switch are still “undecided”.
Earlier this month, the Kingdom Hearts trilogy was officially announced for the Switch, coinciding with the reveal that protagonist Sora is the final DLC (downloadable content) fighter for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. However, it was also revealed that these games would only be playable via the cloud.
In an interview with Nintendo Life, when asked about the decision to only bring the games to Switch via cloud rather than as ports, Hazama said that a native port is “undecided”.
“We believe that the Cloud version is currently the best way to deliver the Kingdom Hearts series to Nintendo Switch players, but we are always excited to hear to feedback from our fans and want to thank them for all their support,” he said.
While a cloud version of the latest Kingdom Hearts 3 might seem logical, many fans were bemused by why two games originally from the PS2 era could not be ported to the Switch.
