Kingdom Hearts port for Switch started development last Summer.

KH4 has some small online features and looks very different from the first trailer. The codename is Quattro.

According to Midori, The Kingdom Hearts Franchise is coming to Nintendo Switch 2

KH3 doesn't run too well on base PS4, so I wonder how will run on Nintendo Switch.

Even though I'm not a fan of megathreads, Midori pumps out so many rumours it might just be easier to create a dedicated Midori rumour thread and just keep updating that.

If rumors are to be believe it'll be above the PS4. Slightly in Handheld but significantly in docked.

Plus having the edge with newer hardware helps. We'll see though.

Honestly, I hope they drop UE5 and make their own proprietary engine. Would save them money in the long run.
 
Can some ask Midori about the Final Fantasy Tactics remaster? Jason Schreier said more than a year ago that this was coming and nothing happened (not that I am too surprised that Schreier was wrong)

I don't see how rumors about NS2 can add something to the conversation.

Besides, even if the NS2 launch the game will be threat as a BC, probably running at dynamic resolution, unless Square Enix make a different port with is kinda unlikely.

And is too late to drop Unreal Engine at this point. KH3 started using Luminus Engine and near half change to UE.
 
Im a little surprised @ Kingdom Hearts IV, but i expected the others to make the jump(unless they make KHIV Cloud version 🤭)

Good news regardless, i don't expect all 'AAA' games to come out to Switch 2, but it makes sense for Japanese publishers to follow a multiplatform friendly approach with their big projects this time around,unlike previous generations. we will see how much Nintendo has been busy talking to these companies

A lot of water is wet reporting from this dude recently.

Maybe they should stay in their lane until they report anything of substance.

What fairy tale world are you living in where a dev making their own proprietary engine saves them money?
 
personally japanese game particularly AAA JRPG need to be on Switch. it is the console with most playerbase at japan. i doubt Sony could overturn the situation there soon.

hopefully Switch 2 spec is decent enough so more japanese devs can build and sold their games better there.

I mean, this is also a rumor as the guy says might and not will.

The idea is if the rumor on Switch 2's specs is correct (and MLiD as been so far 🤷‍♂️) then we'd at least know it would run better than the base PS4 could handle it depending on what engine they use and how well verse they are at it.

I tend to trust Japanese devs more when it comes to

In the long run, as in, no licensing fees per game per unit sold. Yes the initial price of creating your own engine is up there but once it's done, the amount of games you can create without having the share a dime with another company.

Being better than base PS4 doesn't mean will run better lmao. Will still using ARM after all. UE is very problematic on x86 already, you need a lot of optimization to make UE runs without perfomance issues on ARM cpus. All you guys know is force brute, just the specs bumb isn't enought they need to fully optimize UE for Nintendo Switch.

Is better you kids keep your expectations in check.
