Kingdom Hearts, the odd yet awesome mash up of Disney and Square Enix characters in one fun action packed RPG. 2012 marks the 10th anniversary of the series and to celebrate Square Enix is releasing a brand new title in a series along with the first collector’s edition in the series. Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance takes place right after the secret ending of Kingdom Hearts RE:Coded for the Nintendo DS. Dream Drop Distance has you follow the journey of both Sora and Riku as they are summoned by Yen Sid to take the mark of mastery exam in order to become true keyblade masters and the defeat the evil Master Xehanort.
While very flawed, DDD highlights why the series works as well as it does. Between a willingness to innovate and consistently strong character writing, Kingdom Hearts is never boring. The plot can derail itself off the tracks completely, but there’s still substance within the main cast.
Gameplay can be unrecognizable from title to title, but that’s exactly what keeps each entry worth revisiting. DDD is better than just another KH title. It has a strong identity and knows exactly what kind of game it is, for better or worse.
Dream Drop Distance didn’t have to derail Kingdom Hearts as hard as it did, but doing resulted in an unforgettable experience– a bridge to Kingdom Hearts III that’s as essential as it is eclectic.
As the decade ends, let’s look back at many of the biggest moments in the Kingdom Hearts series. From games to merchandise, there was something for every Kingdom Hearts fan to enjoy.
Nintendo has remained the king of handheld gaming since the release of the Gameboy. With the 3DS slowly dying and the Nintendo Switch selling huge perhaps it's time to port some the 3DS games to the Switch. Here are 5 Nintendo 3DS games that deserve to be ported to the Nintendo Switch.
Although not 3DS games, I would like to see the Golden Sun games and Chrono Trigger be released on the Switch.
