Kotaku: Kingdom Hearts is one of those series whose quality varies wildly from game to game. Sometimes they are nothing but near pointless filler while others are as solid as the numbered iterations in the series. Much like the "even-number Star Trek films curse," fans of the series believe those Kingdom Hearts titles released on Nintendo consoles are doomed to be inferior. So does the 3DS' Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance prove the pattern true once again or drop it like a bad habit instead?
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.
harsh
funny, i think 356/2 days is one of the best games in the series, coded had a very creative system that actually worked
on the other side, BBS was complete shit, worst game os the series, and i traded my DS for s PSP just for that game, worst decision ever.
Most emotional = 358/2
Most unique/good story = bbs
Most creative = re:coded
Worst but still a good story = chain of memories
Talking about handhelds (so not including 1 and 2)
