The Cloud Versions Of Kingdom Hearts 3 And HD Collections Hit Switch In February

Nintendo announced last October that Kingdom Hearts III+ Re Mind, Kingdom Hearts HD 2.28 Final Chapter Prologue and Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 +2.5 Remix were coming to Switch. If you’ve been waiting with bated breath to enjoy Sora’s adventures on the go, mark February 10 as the date you’ll get to do so.

It’s important to emphasize that these are cloud versions, meaning you can only stream them over the internet. These games are not available in traditional digital or physical formats. If you’re unsure if your internet connection is up to the task, free demos of each title are now available to test out. 

If this will be your first foray into the Kingdom Hearts series, figuring out the differences between these confusingly named collections can be headache-inducing. Below is a simple breakdown of which each one entails. To follow along with the series from start to finish, you’ll want to play the collections/games in this order:
