Absolutely incredible how this is being sent out to die. It's not even on Xbox's "coming this week" page despite it already being sold

Next Week on Xbox: New Games for February 18 to 21 - Xbox Wire

Welcome to Next Week on Xbox, where we cover all the new games coming soon to Xbox One and Windows 10 PC! Every week the team at Xbox aims to deliver quality gaming content for you to enjoy on your favorite gaming console. To find out what’s coming soon to Xbox One and PC, read […]
I find this odd. I wonder what's going on, this doesn't seem like a game that they would purposefully omit from next week on Xbox. Could it be that the release date is a mistake? I can't find it in the US store has anyone played it yet?

It is very weird, but it is not a mistake. The listing went live last week and when Square Enix / Xbox discovered the fuck up they took the pages offline. They're now back online and the games are available for purchase in two different territories. The pages are also live in the US, but all you can do is redeem a code at this stage (the option to buy will go active on the 18th)

Buy KINGDOM HEARTS - HD 1.5+2.5 ReMIX - | Xbox

KINGDOM HEARTS HD 1.5 + 2.5 ReMIX is a compilation of 6 unforgettable KINGDOM HEARTS experiences that form the foundation of the series.


The fact that the release date is not a mistake makes the omission from Xbox about their releases this week a real head scratcher.

Will definitely buy when the US page is up. KH in 4K sounds too good to pass up on
Arent KH 1 and 2 FM on ps4pro 4k as well?

I thought the only difference was KH3 looking a bit better on xbox one x over ps4pro. But the rest of the games that are remasters from ps3 should be 4k 60 for every game i thought

Yeah they promote much smaller games all the time. If this is purposeful I don't see a good reason. It would have been perfect to release it next week the same day that the Remind DLC comes out on xbox.

To be fair. Even with a 100 million dollar marketing campaign. I don't think KH collection would sell well on Xbox.

If KH0.2 is 4K on Xbox, I hope they push an update for PS4 Pro. Unfortunately I can't find any videos of the Xbox versions yet, just have a 4K image from the Xbox website to go on.

How is that fair when Kh3 was successful enough on the platform?

A collection releasing before the new entry would likely have not sold better than it's currently going to sell but could even propel more Kh3 sales.

about damn time.

Get the two best story ones. KH3 had such a garbage ass story but amazing worlds. 1, CoM and 2 are actually easy to follow......after 2 is where it gets really stupid

The PS4 Pro is already boosted over base PS4. Base PS4 is 900p with bad framepacing whereas Pro is 1080p with an unlocked framerate.
I know. But the Xbox screenshot is in 4K so if they've given 0.2 a boost for Xbox then all I'm saying is it'd be neat if they could transfer that over to PS4.

I doubt they would have even bothered porting to Xbox had they not seen KH3's sales on Xbox One. Wouldn't make sense to port these several year old collections, a year after the latest entry, otherwise.

Regardless I think Square Enix is underserving Xbox gamers in general.

They already realessed Kh3 so I figure these releases are a response to that actually doing ok. I almost bought it on there because the price dipped on XB1 first. It could also be they just paid to have the whole thing since only having the end of the story when the story is so broad is probably not great for marketing

Hopefully it won't be like the 1.5+2.5HD release on PS4. What a disaster. I just hope this means the last glitches have a chance of being fixed. Xbox I'm sure will have some.

2 of them are movies in the collection so you only have to play 7.
Thankfully, 2 of those are movies and one of them is a 2-3 hour prelude. Everything else can be beaten between 20-30 hours. So yeah. It's not terrible. It's just like everyone else already said, to understand KH, just play the games and you'll be fine. Believe me, it's worth playing all of them.
Huh! interesting!

What did you both think of Remind? The waypoint crew seemed pretty down on it...but I don't know what other people thought/think?

Seems to be available in Japan now. Also don't know how true this is but someone on Twitter said that the action button is still a triangle on screen.

People thought the selling point of Remind was the story so of course they were disappointed.
The real meat of the DLC are the Data battles though which are some of the hardest (and best) battles in gaming.

Unfortunately I didn't have time to play KHIII until just about a week ago, so I'm currently getting through the main game myself. I personally don't know anything about Re:Mind. My friends enjoyed it, but that's all I know.

So, this is being sent to die, so the next time Phil goes on one of his port begging tours of Japan they can point at it and say Japanese games don't sell on Xbox?

I was thinking about double dipping to thank SE for supporting Xbox, but not for these prices.

I've been hoping for these to come out on Xbox ever since the 360 days, I still can't believe that they are actually coming. Excited to jump into them again.

Weird. Everything points to this being some weird mistake. If this is all true, SE is really making some baffling decisions. Or their blind faith in Kingdom Hearts to overcome all is truly breathtakingly enormous.

I was looking at day one here but at those prices? Perhaps if there's some enormous changes involved with gameplay or something I'd bite, seems I'll let that hook dangled a bit more.

im guessing if 40 Euros....then probably $40 for the 6 game collection?

I'd probably dip because thats a shit ton of a content for me for $40. Plus i want to replay these so bad on my xbox.

I'd vouch to disagree. I think Kingdom Hearts is premium enough of a brand that it can do well on any system provided that the marketing's there.

And in this instance, the marketing is definitely not there. I genuinely feel this release is solely mandated in response to fan demand.

So these have hit the UK store now. I really wanna support these finally getting released on Xbox but those prices...

£39.99 for 1.5+2.5 ReMIX and another £47.99 for 2.8 Final.

I can currently get The Story So Far on PS4 (that includes all of the above I believe?) for £14. Ouch.

Assuming the difference in prices carry over to the US I'll start off with 1.5 & 2.5 and hold off on 2.8. I don't mind paying $40ish for 4 games and 2 movies, but 2.8 needs a sale or something.

Hopefully MS rewards offer a special amount of points for puchasing this to encourage me to consider getting these collections at those prices.

If anyone needs a refresher of the story (though you'll still be confused regardless) check out Clemps.

The day the largely anti-xbox kingdom hearts community told me repeatedly would never happen, has happened.

Purchased right away.
