    Love the Kingdom Hearts series. It’s one of the reasons I kept my PS2. Though, I’m not much of a fan of Chain of Memories. I just couldn’t get into the card aspect of the game. Hopefully before Kingdom Hearts 3 comes out, they put out another HD collection with Kingdom Hearts 2 and Birth By Sleep in it, especially since I never owned a PSP and didn’t get to play Birth By Sleep.

      During the credits of Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix, they show clips of Kingdom Hearts II, Birth by Sleep, and Coded. While it has not been OFFICIALLY confirmed by Square Enix or Disney, it is pretty well known that they will release a Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 Remix game, probably around this time next year, and then possibly a Kingdom Hearts III release in LATE 2015.

      What they’re going to do with Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance is anyone’s guess, but it is certainly crucial to understand KH3.

    You may wish to make a correction: 358/2 Days is not actually a playable game in this HD ReMIX. Rather, it has been turned into a nearly 3 hour cinematic movie of cutscenes. I wager it was too complicated to turn a DS game into a home console game.

    The HD ReMIX is still well worth the $40 cost, though!

      Thanks. Fixed.

      Darn! Beat me to the comment! 🙂

      Yeah, I agree it is worth the cost definitely. Tetsuya Nomura even said that he originally planned to make 358/2 Days playable for the collection. However, that would apparently have pushed back production on Kingdom Hearts III, which he figured people would want more than a remake of an old game.

    I LOVE that there was a huge reception from fans for this game! I hope this makes Disney understand how big the fan base is for this series, and for them to actually acknowledge the series. Granted, we’ve had nothing but side games for the past 8 years, but still, now is the time to jump on it.

    Build up the hype for Kingdom Hearts III in any way they can. Not saying make a theme park ride or anything like that. But if Limited Time Magic can get me Bowler Hat Guy and the Sheriff of Nottingham, then give me Sora with Donald, Goofy, and Mickey in their KH outfits!!! XD

      Oh, and I love the pic of KH1 and KH2 Sora together. Awesome!

        They used to have a suit character of Sora appearing in Tomorrowland during the Halloween parties, back when the first KH came out, but looked a bit disturbing (like the Pixar suit characters), and nobody knew who he was back then.
        Be great if they could get some Asian CMs to play a face Sora, but it’s only us gamer-geeks who understand. 🙂

        (And I never really warmed to KH1–most of the worlds, like Alice, went on WAY too long and convoluted–and thought KH2 was a big improvement on the fighting and pacing, but it’s a good warmup for those who didn’t have a PS2 back then.
        The card-game KH 1-1/2 is actually pretty fun, too, and stays within the Disney worlds, if designed for the “platform” of handheld games, and using number values for your key-slashes gets a little confusing.)
