If Square Enix think it is worth doing then of course it's feasible. Keep in mind that DQ11 did take a loooong time to port (a good portion of that time was waiting on UE4 developments though) and we don't know at what cost.
After seeing and playing Dragon Quest XI on Switch, do you feel Kingdom Hearts III is feasible on Switch?
- Thread starter Hero of Legend
- Start date
Can someone explain the appeal of Kingdom Hearts to me? I love RPGs so more are always welcome, but do you need to like Disney stuff to be interested? As someone who has next to no connection to any Disney character outside of Incredibles, Toy Story and Wall-E I feel like I'd be missing out on a lot
Nope. KH3 is significantly more taxing, and doesn't have the benefit of instanced battles.
The combat systems are genuinely top-tier ARPG stuff, and the music is phenomenal. A bunch of us are also into the original characters.
I'd take the KH Collection over KH3. KH3 isn't even that good
Me too but I think I'd probably give KHIII way more of a shot portably. I don't even think gameplay graphics would be that much of a downgrade but they would probably have to turn some of the real time cutscenes into video to match the look.
... Why would they have to be chibi?
Also SQEX please make this so I can have chibi Cloud.
I'm pretty sure SE is going to release FF7R on as many consoles as possible, if it's not on the Switch, it's on the next "gen" Nintendo platform.
Also KH3 is largely possible but I feel like they're not as interested at least not before the first 2 main come, to see if it as potential.
Lol.
The FF15 pocket edition happened because the Switch arrived too late and FF15 is a mess of a game. Definiyely harder to port than any of their more recent games.
I'd be more shocked if FF7R didn't come than KH3 actually.
Actually it do, both are SE games and both are UE4 games that are on PS4, and soon DQ11 will be on Switch also.
it could work, but DQXIS is a turn based RPG and KH3 is an action game with massive maps
It's the sorta thing where it'd be impressive but I'd feel bad for anyone who'd have their first exposure to the game through it, especially docked.

The demo crashed while playing twice and once while I was on the phone and the game was just on... I'm scared to buy the witcher now. I think it's a little too much for the switch
On one hand KH3 is a game pushing the hardware way further than DQXI, it was surprising to see the game not running at 60fps on PS4 honestly, because as artistically nice as it looks is not doing anything special in tech.
KH3 if anything is a firework particle spectacle, with lots of effects going on during combat. Effects that can be quite taxing on the hardware and are part of the experience.
On the other hand any game can 'run' on switch if enough work is done. Dead Rising was ported to Wii, but then it had to not just downgrade the graphics but change considerably the gameplay. If Dead Rising can be ported from 360 to Wii, I'm sure that everything can be ported to switch.
So yeah... KH3 can run on Switch, the issue is at what cost.

Sure you can do it. But at what price ?
KH3 with Witcher 3 level downgrades would make the Disney/Pixar world's and characters look like complete dogshit.
I don't think neither Disney nor Square would want to do that.
Expect a made-for Switch spin-off instead.

Yeah, like the Witcher 3 and DQXIS.
They look so bad nobody wants to play these.
Oh my god 30fps ! Unplayable, adaptive resolution ? Ok that's THE worst thing ever.
Whatever fits you.
They're both on the same engine and developed by the same company. In terms of getting games to run on the same hardware there aren't that many comparisons that work better.
Maybe they'll release it on Switch in the "Kingdom Hearts Everything but the Kitchen Sink" collection
To my untrained eye the assets in KH3 seem to be magnitudes heavier than those in DQXI.
Yet the game runs better on PS4 than DQXI does.
Obviously it's not a one to one comparison (one is a turn-based RPG, one is an action RPG) but it's probably the closest comparison we can find.
