E310 | New Kingdom Hearts for Portables? on Nintendo gaming news, videos and discussion

An interview with Kingdom Hearts director Tetsuya Nomura, a new entry in the series will be announced at E3 2010.

Speaking in the latest edition of GameInformer (via NeoGAF), Nomura confirmed that one of the two projects he's been involved with will be revealed this month in Los Angeles.

It's strongly suggested that the new game will not be on HD consoles, Wii or the iPhone - pointing strongly at the DS, PSP or even Nintendo's latest offspring, the 3DS.

That's weird... I was really expecting the next title to be Kingdom Hearts III.

Maybe they're saving that for TGS or something. All I know is that Nomura is working on quite a few projects atm. (Two of which I'm assuming are KHIII and the FFVII remake)

But he has confirmed that there are 3 more KH titles on the way, including KHIII (which will be the final game of the Xehanort saga).

EDIT: I think I know what it is...
It may not be "new", but KH: Coded still needs to be localised, and a handheld release with all the episodes is very probable.

So I'm thinking there will be another KH game shown at E3 (KHIII)

They need to stop over complicating the series with more and more characters. Finish their stories already and start anew. The first game was fun. Chain of Memories was interesting but the Organisation XIII and the second game started to side track too much with Roxas, the real Ansem/DiZ, Riku with Ansem's face (Ansem being Xenohart's heartless using Ansem's name Smilie ) and the Nobodies.

358/2 Days was a bore and just reading about the story in Birth by Sleep gives me a headache. Smilie

Sometimes I think the Organisation XIII were created just so that Tetsuya could show off the number of Spiky hair styles he could design. Plus ZIPS!! Smilie

I kinda like that it's complicated, but I do think there are now too many pointless story elements. KHIII will conclude the current story arc and hopefully things will be a bit more fresh after that.

Also Org. XIII was just an excuse for Nomura to ~~make yaoi bait~~ show off spiky hair.

I think BbS sounds much better written than 358/2 Days but I'll have to wait for it to come out before I judge it.

So, will KH III be a Wii esclusive this gen? The last two were on PS2 in the same way that Dragon Quest has always been on the console with the more units out there so it makes sense to develop for Wii.

Nope, the bigger KH projects this gen so far have been on PSP, whereas DQ had a lot of DS games, which is why DQX on Wii isn't that surprising.

I still think KHIII will be a PS3 exclusive.

I know the interview you mean.

So yeah, about that "new" portable KH game
Just as I expected, it's a version of coded intended for International release.
What I DIDN'T expect was a DS release! Can't imagine Nomura is too happy with this.
