Kingdom Hearts 3 for the Nintendo Switch: Tetsuya Nomura speaks out
Kingdom Hearts 3 has been one of the most successful titles in the 13-part series since its release on January 29, 2019. The successful mix of Disney worlds, own creations and Final Fantasy elements inspires new and established players.
- So far, Kingdom Hearts 3 has only been released for Playstation 4 and Xbox One. For this reason, the demand for a version of Nintendo Switch is high.
- Tetsuya Nomura is the creative head of the Kingdom Hearts series. At the D23 Expo 2017 in Japan, the developer was asked by the Japanese game magazine Famitsu about the plans for Kingdom Hearts 3 on the Switch.
- While of course the PS4 and Xbox One versions were in the foreground at this point, the Nintendo Switch was not excluded. According to Nomura, "a switch version would be worth considering".
No switch port planned so far
Of course, Square Enix and Nintendo are in charge when it comes to a possible Kingdom Hearts 3 port for the Nintendo Switch. Unfortunately, it does not look good because the two companies have no plans to implement them. According to the video game journalist Imran Khan (Game Informer), this is not possible.
- Khan commented on the podcast "Kinda Funny Games Daily" in February 2019. He is said to have overheard that "Nintendo and Square Enix talked about the possibility of a switch version". It was decided that the port would not be profitable.
- The reason is said to be the performance of the Nintendo Switch. The Unreal Engine 4 is supported, but the console should not offer enough performance. Kingdom Hearts 3 can therefore not run in the desired stability.
- According to Khan, the two companies do not rule out that the other titles in the KH series will be published on the Switch. How long players have to wait for it is however in the stars.
