Kingdom hearts III to be Wii exclusive.

looks fake to meHeydanbud92

It is from Nintendo Power that not in question. What is in question is it talking about Kingdom Hearts.

[QUOTE="enral"]

If it is indeed kingdom hearts..it might be a spinoff because:

1) From the nintendo gamecube to the wii..I've never seen S-E give any of the main franchises to them.

2) The main kingdom hearts team are working on ffvs13 so they do not have the time to develop.

3) Seeing that kingdom hearts was born on the ps2..I don't see the logic in giving wii kingdom hearts 3 where it may not sell well.

It is coming to the PS3....you just going to look dumb in the end......the first two were for the PS2.....They never said it will be coming to the Wii.......wouldn't you expect it to come out to the PS3 just like the other KH games came out for the PS2?

(If FFXIII is not coming out for the 360......your saying KH3 is not coming out for the PS3? Just like everyone who said FFXIII will be coming out for the 360 your going to be wrong.) http://youtube.com/watch?v=35yH1e0YdEc

Think about it... why was KH on the PS2?

Was it because they wanted the best graphics possible? No, it would have gone to a different system if that were the case.

Was it because the system was the easiest to program and develop for? No, in fact developers often complained about just how difficult the PS2 was in these areas.

So what's the real answer? Simple: The PS2's install base was leagues ahead of the competition. This, however, isn't the case with the PS3. So until there is official confirmation, KH3 will remain fair game for all.

it could just be 358/2 days KH spin off game the ds getsNuclearFreedom

Actually they said it would be a reveal, although i guess that is still a possibility...

lol, whats with all these posts like "oh, that would be so sad"? You know whats sad? George Carlin died :(. THAT is sad. A game going to a different platform is not sad.

Err, this info was leaked a month or two ago, wasn't it?Funkyhamster

that was fake.

This makes perfect sense.

Disney = For Kids

Can't find a perfect match in gaming than this one.

DragonFlyJ

Awww dont be so bitter that you are missing out on it :P

Isn't the KH team working on FFXIII and then on FFXIIIVS?

By the time they finish them both they would have a great engine and the PS3 will have a bigger install base, and even if it is coming to the Wii wouldn't they finish those 2 games first meaning there will be 2 years at least of waiting?

Still if this turns out to be true as well as Shenmue coming to Wii I'll have to buy one.

I think it was more than just kids that played that game on the PS2. I remember the first one (didn't play the second) and I thought it was a pretty good game. Honestly I can't believe Sony couldn't lock this up as a multiplat at least....they are losing their touch. This is actually the first signficant title the Wii has got. It'll be intresting to see if Squre ends up regretting it if the sales don't meet expectations.

I would disagree with you there. The Wii is also getting Fatal Fram IV (the series was on everything BUT a Nintendo console before), which makes up for no RE 5 nearly (although Im getting a 360 so I can own it) and there is also Monster Hunter 3 as well, formerly exclusive to Sony platforms. It might not seem like much, but its a step in the right direction for Nintendo resolving the 3rd party support issue.

As for sales of KH3 on the Wii, I would have thought the inclusion of Disney would make it a "bridge" game like Mario Kart - accessible to hardcore and casual audiences. If that were the case, you can bet it will sell well enough to keep SE happy.

This makes perfect sense.

I agree with you on that one because lots of people don't want kingdom hearts for that reason right there....I know I don't. Also, the wii has the easiest fanbase of all the consoles to please because half the buyers are kids and they have never played previous console games. Where as most xbox and ps users have played games on previous consoles so we are harder to impress because we have been there and done that with lots of games.

PLZ PLZ NOOOO I SWEAR TO GOD I PLAYED THE FIRST 2 GAMES ON PS3 PLZZZ I WANT TO SEE MICKEY AND GOOFY IN HD AND I KNOW FOR A FACT THE GAME WOULD BE BETTER JUST BECAUSE ITS ON PS3 (gameplay wise) . GIVE ME ONe AAA EXCLUSIVE ON THE WII THAT IF PORTED TO THE PS3 WOULDN'T BE BETTER< GIVE ME ONE!

okey caps of:

I played the first 2 games on ps2 and i loved them, and i want them to evolve not stay the same graphics wise and add a little waggle to the equation, i really really wana play this game damm it!

Easiest fanbase to please? You obviously havent read any of Jasonguys posts :P

I have seen more kids obsess over the 360 or other consoles than I have over the Wii. In fact everytime Im in Gamestation, the kids are looking at old PS2 games still on the shelves, and everyone looking at the Wii shelves is 20+

You tend to find many Nintendo Wii owners have an affinity for them because they had their first gaming experiences on Nintendo consoles in the mid/late 80's - not because its their first console.

Highly doubtful, that is the equivelent of when cows said Halo 3 will go to the PS3...it doesnt work and its not going to happen. I also wanted to point out your picture was blurry but it was obviouse that is a sword not a keyblade. sparkypants

[QUOTE="KiraDEATHNOTE"]

omarguy01

no. they never said it would be coming to ps3 either. in fact, KH3 isn't even officially announced. so as far as we know it might not even exist at this point.

and stop looking at past gens for predictions. last gen was totally different than the current gen. so no you can not make predictions by just goin "o look this is what happened with ps2". sony WAS on top but not anymore so expect things like this to change

because of sony no longer being on top look at games like:

DMC4 (went to 360), RE5 (to 360), Star Ocean 4 (to 360), GTA (to 360)

Monster Hunter ( went to Wii )

It would be a shame to watch the series NOT evolve into its third gamein the series. It'll just be what we saw on the PS2 with some lame motion controls. Like every other game that hit the Wii. I have a sneaking suspicion the reason alone in the dark blows is because they multiplatted it onto the Wii thus bringing down all the versions of the game. Bread_or_Decide

Well no, SE swiched to sony because of the transistion to disc and they have stayed since because sonys tech allowed them to fully expand there vision with the amount of disc space provided. they havent gone back to nintendo because they never really left but did you notice the type of games sold to nintendo as aposed to sony? Crystial Cronicals is a side series and has no corrilation to the orginal series. The dragon quest games are all side stories too rocket slime and that slashing game provided on the Wii, there is no DQIX yet is there now? the SE support on the DS is nothing more the classic FF remakes of SNES games and other side DQ games(ie rocket slime presented above), while sony is getting FF tatics and Crisis Core, they are also getting the KH game birth by sleep which SE actually came out and said this was the game that follows the main story as aposed to 358/2 which is a side tale.

"Last but definitely not least of the three Kingdom Hearts games, Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep is a new title for the PSP. From checking out the trailers, it felt the most like a true Kingdom Hearts sequel of the three games (except that it's actually a prequel). Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep's trailer started off with the words "The distant past." And as it turns out, the game takes place before Sora's era, back in the days when there were multiple "keyblade masters" around the world."

Now with this in mind, it is less likely that if and when they get around to a KH3 that it will apear on the wii. There is a higher chance this game is going to be on the PS3, but who knows and this game isnt coming out anytime soon...because of FFXIII and the two hand held KH games

Of course there isn't a Dragon Quest IX for the Wii... because it's already been announced as a DS exclusive. And while it's true Sony switched because of the advantage of CDs over carts, they have since stayed because of the install base. This is an advantage Sony no longer has.

If that were the case, you would see XIII on the wii or DS as well...

Dragon Quest however is a diffrent story, the DS is a HUGE Panamanian in Japan like its DQ counterpart, so were the mass goes DQ goes. while final fantasy is HUGE in Japan, the developers are always seeking the best hardware to present there story on(they like to show off if you havent noticed)

You can say and think whatever you want but the reality is more kids play wii than the other consoles. I know people here and there who have had kids and the only console I have seen parents buy their kids is the wii. As for the adults some may own wiis but most own ps3 or 360. It still remains though that most parents in my mind only want their kids playing mainly wii type games to avoid most the violent games and bad language between competitve players online on the other consoles.

The main reason kids check the shelves for old ps2 games is obvious because its cheap entertainment and I shouldn't have to tell you that. Gaming has become quite expensive this day and age.

Final Fantasy XIII has been in development since before the PS3 was even released. Back then everyone thought the system was going to be a runaway success just like it predecessors. By the time those people were proven wrong, too much time and money had already been poured in. SquareEnix had no choice but to press on.

Also, there is a critical flaw in that whole "best hardware" argument: The Playstation 2. When compared to the Xbox or even the GCN, the PS2's graphical capabilities were fairly limited.

Xbox isnt a japanesse company. It was a new system made by americans, and japanesse developers were unsure of its sucsesse so supporting was out of the question. Also its considered an insult when a japaneese company leaves one of its own to support and out of country company. So the whole xbox thing was out of the question at the time.

we aleady know this

I hate kingdom hearts anyway

vicmackey39

Then why did you waste your time clicking on the thread, and posting a reply if you know that you hate Kingdom Hearts.

You probably wanted to know about the game but you are too immature to admit that you really want a copy of the game.

*Sigh* Another 2 weeks. Another KH III Wii exclusive thread.VanHelsingBoA64

I know. So much arguing over a game that hasn't even been announced yet.

Wouldn't it be hilarious if it turned out to be a 360 exclusive? No one would expect that!

That goes back to what I mentioned before...They were looking for the best way to present there product using multiple disk would be a step back to them, especially if they know the PS2 will only need one and they wouldnt have to compress much...imagine if they went though with this, then image the amount of disk the GC would need for FFXII...

Final Fantasy main series has mainly been sony as has Kingdom Hearts. Its awfully illogical to assume that the same complany that sees no danger with keeping 1 series exclusive would completely switch platforms for another. If its going wii i would say not exclusive, unless its a spinoff like Cristal Chronicals for FFhmac777

[QUOTE="ThePlothole"]And how about the gamecube? Sure you would have needed multiple discs, but so what? That's how all three PS1 final fantasies came.sparkypants

Guys,

Confirmed. Nintendo Power does this. I used to read NP, did stuff like this to tease new games. Next month cover will be huge blow-out.

Oh, and it may not be KH3. Could be a spinoff, but what do I know, I know nothing...

I dunno, I cant argue this part with facts(not very technical in this sense) but I never felt the GC had the graphic power the people here claimed it to have. I mean the graphics on the GC were nice but I have game I feel couldnt be done on the gamecube without a few changes. Now its just my opinion so dont take it the wrong way but I felt in many cases the Gamecube and the PS2 were on par with one another, its just the GC kept to a more cartoony/anime look so the graphics had a sharper and brighter look, but in terms of power they seemed to pull the same weight. This is just my opinion and I aplogize for not knowing much about the insides of a system.

With that being said I would like to end this because the possibility of this game coming out in the near future is very small seing as how the creator is working on XIII, XIII-versus,KH Birth By Sleep and 358/2 days

That's okay... I lot of people thought the GCN way less powerful. That's because developers rarely exploited it to its full potential. However titles like Resident Evil 4 served to demonstrate what the system could really do with enough effort, To give you some idea, you know the CGI cut scenes in the PS2 version? Those were recorded off of the GCN version (which produced them in real time).

You have a point there. It's quite possible that Kingdom Hearts 3 will not make an appearance until the near the end of this console generation.

I hate it when people say "Bu. . .But teh Sony has rights to KH and it belongs there because it started there." First off, I don't know if anyone has made that first statement here, but I have heard it.:| Secondly, the FF series started on NES and then made the transfer to the PS. And guess what, Dragon Quest went to the DS and that is one of the biggest (if not biggest) game in Japan. So while this article might not reference KH3, leave yourselves open to the idea, because it could happen.

Sadly, since logic is involved here, this post will be skipped.
