Kingdom Hearts I-III for Switch 2 should've been a slam dunk, but some games need more work
RPG Site • • technology
Key Points:
- Square Enix is releasing the Kingdom Hearts series natively on Nintendo Switch 2 alongside PS5 and Xbox Series, with Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX and 2.5 ReMIX also coming to the original Switch for the first time beyond cloud versions.
- The Kingdom Hearts Collection 1-3 bundle includes Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5+2.5 ReMix, 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue, and Kingdom Hearts III + ReMind DLC, spanning multiple generations and platforms.
- Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5+2.5 ReMix runs well on Switch 2, offering a solid experience comparable to PS5 and PS4 versions, making it the best version so far on Switch 2.
- Kingdom Hearts III and 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue on Switch 2 suffer from variable performance and lack a 30fps cap option, with the PS5 version providing better resolution but also a visual bloom issue in 0.2.
- Overall, the collection is recommended on Switch 2 mainly for 1.5+2.5, while the performance of 0.2 and III on Switch 2 is inconsistent and may not satisfy players unless they accept the current demo-level performance.
