During today's Nintendo Direct, Square-Enix confirmed that all previously released Kingdom Hearts games will be coming to Nintendo Switch 2 as native ports. Spread across three collections, dubbed Kingdom Hearts Collection [I~III] contains Kingdom Hearts 1.5+2.5 Final Remix, Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue and Kingdom Hearts III + Re:Mind. You can purchase these collections separately through the Nintendo eShop and the games will be released on October 8th 2026.

In a surpising twist it was also announced that Kingdom Hearts IV will launch on Nintendo Switch 2 alongside the other console versions of the game. Kingdom Hearts IV was revealed back in April 2022. Since then no news on the game was announced. The trailer today showcased new footage of the game. Including combat segments and some returning familiar faces from the Kingdom Hearts universe. No date was announced.

Glad to see the expected cloud games turning native switch 2 games and the unexpected announcement of 4. Time to finally get into Kingdom Hearts and see what I've been missing.

Yeah I never got around to trying these and avoided the cloud versions like the plague. I'll happily grab this at some point, but not sure if I want to buy them all of try and stick to the "primary three". Anyone with a degree in Kingdon Hearts History care to elaborate on the essential titles for someone wanting to play the "main story" without getting caught in the weeds of all the weird midquels, prequels, and spinoffs?
