Kingdom Hearts -HD 1.5 ReMIX- official website

 

Update 1: Message from the KINGDOM has provided us with more information about Kingdom Hearts for PC Browsers. Oishii from KH13 is translating this information, and you can read it below.

In memory of this year being the 10th Anniversary of the "Kingdom Hearts" series, we are compiling a collection of the first works "Kingdom Hearts" and "KH Re:Chain of Memories" in HD. Furthermore, 2009’s Nintendo DS game "KH 358/2 Days", which received much credit for its enjoyable story, will be compiled as well.

 

“Kingdom Hearts” (first work) game’s later release with various additional content “KH Final Mix” (Japanese language release) will receive an entire HD rendition.
With the two HD remakes, we will add fully remade HD event scenes from Nintendo’s DS game “KH 358/2 Days”. This remake will give a new feeling to the series, and the 3 editions to the series will be a collection you should look forward to.

Furthermore, KH and KH Re:CoM will also support PlayStation 3's trophy system.

Update 2: Footage from Kingdom Hearts -HD 1.5 Remix- is being shown in the Square Enix Mega Theatre at Tokyo Game Show 2012. This means we might see recordings soon!

didn't think of that but the only downside to the kh hd remix is that i have to redo all the games on 100% completion,sometimes i really hate being a completionist

 

just hope we can play the final mixes in english

 

You're an idiot. This is NOT Japan only. In the english KH 3D the secret message talked about the HD collections...They wouldn't fcking leave the US out of this. Get common sense.

 

But the Days cutscenes are said to be completely remade, and they're already PS2 graphics, so I'm fairly positive they will be made with graphics that KH 3 will be using...

is this coming in north america?

ik

2.5 will probably have KH2FM, KH:Re:Coded (cutscenes) and KHBBS

KH3D really depends on the 3DS console

its going to be hard

 

I read TGS announced the titles. But I'm still very happy with KH1!

 

is this coming in north america?

 

Yeh as if they have it announced in DDD.

:DDD

i wouldnt be getting to happy we dot know if its just in japan or not witch its more of a 80% chance its only in jap

Will it be in english???????

I've been waiting for this for years Not to pleased about not having BBS or KH2, but it'll come eventually. KH1 FM though!!!!

 

i didnt know HD remakes were considered spin-offs now...and i dont know why people call the games Spin-offs and Side-games when they all play huge roles in the story,basically every game inbetween 1,2,&3 are spin offs then,and we would know jack about the storyline if we didnt havce them

Very clever Nomura...

 

Yeah there won't be anymore KH games before Kingdom Hearts 3.

 

But he never said anything about remaking the old games!

So will we be getting to hear anything about the trailer sometime maybe?

So 2.5 will be kh 2 kh 2fm and all of coddeds scence right

Phhh. No big deal

 

( inside my head: OMFG THERE IS A G!!!! Foaming at the mouth* thank you Jesus, Buddha, anansi, Ronald McDonald, NOMURA!!!, I think this just blew CHUCK NORISes head, this is a Christmas miracle!!! I... I...)

* heart attack* ( last thoughts are what it would be like in kingdom hearts to have a heart attack)

 

Very clever Nomura...

 

Yeah there won't be anymore KH games before Kingdom Hearts 3.

 

But he never said anything about remaking the old games!

 

Nomura: worlds greatest mindf#&ker.

The moment Im able to pre-order this game , I will be pre-ordering it

Please tell me it's coming Overseas too...

 

Please tell me it's coming Overseas too...

 

Dude just import it. The PS3 isn't region-locked and since it's final mix it has english cutscenes...

 

Wait, let me guess. Japan only?

 

Wait, let me guess. Japan only?

 

No...The PS3 isn't region-locked...Am I the ONLY one who knows this?

 

IT BETTER NOT BE! Ill legit sob right now.

 

IT BETTER NOT BE! Ill legit sob right now.

 

Again, just import it. The PS3 is not region-locked and KH Final Mix is 100% English in the cutscenes anyways. The only bad part would be the text would be Japanese.

Here's a little video I've made with the details we know so far + some thoughts for a possible KH 2.5 HD ReMIX.

 

 

I really hope this is not Japan only, because I've always wanted to play Re: Chain (I only played Chain for the GBA, not the PS2, because it never came out for Europe)...

Dude just import it. The PS3 isn't region-locked and since it's final mix it has english cutscenes...

Dude you don't have to repeat it three times, and no It's going to have Japanese cutscenes. Am I the only one who watches ScrewAttack's Hard News? But whatever, stop with your arrogance, it's annoying.

You're an idiot. This is NOT Japan only. In the english KH 3D the secret message talked about the HD collections...They wouldn't fcking leave the US out of this. Get common sense.

 

don't call me idiot !

the Secret Message is a content of the game and because it is there it doesn't mean, that the HD Collection will come to NA or EU

I already said that NA has a high chance to get it but not EU

=> SE has to localize it in 4 more languages and 3 has to be with dub and it seems that SE doesn't want pay money for it => BbS and DDD have only English dub and DDD is missing Spanish and Italian sub...oh and Re:CoM didn't come to EU

I think I have a right to think that an EU release will be unlikely

But the PS3 is region-free. You can play Japanese PS3 games on an American PS3. So there's no need to import a PS3 from Japan.

 

[/size][/font][/color]Why would they cut out the KH1FM Secret Ending? That wouldn't be smart story-wise. Though i can see Square putting up some kind of a teaser for KH3 like the Sly Cooper HD Collection did with Sly 4: Thieves in Time. So it's possible.

 

I did not know PS3 is region-free... But i'm from Holland so are you sure it's the same here?

No...The PS3 isn't region-locked...Am I the ONLY one who knows this?

 

No, obviously, but that doesn't change the fact that Japanese games generally have Japanese text. It would be convenient for us to be able to read it in our own language.

YES!!! that sounds AWESOMELY EPIC!!!

don't call me idiot !

"The past shall be reawakened as a new number in never-before-seen detail.

Prepare yourself for the awakening of the next number."

 

What part don't you understand? About the next number they must meant 1.5.

hello?!

I have understand it!

but again:

only because the Secret Message says this, it doesn't mean that 1.5 will come to EU (the message only says that 1.5 will come but not where it will be released!)

have you understand this?

what's your problem that you have to criticize my doubt?
