Posted April 30, 201510 yr Which KH game, originally designed for a handheld, is your favorite? Edited April 30, 201510 yr by Lu Xun
April 30, 201510 yr Re:Coded, by far. It takes mechanics from 358/2 and BBS that were initially very clunky and awkward and smoothed them out nicely, while adding a bunch of new mechanics that for the most part work really well. I still say Re:Coded had the best version of the Command Deck in the whole series so far. (though holy shit Olympus Coliseum in Re:Coded could not be more tedious and uninteresting, firetrucking hell)
April 30, 201510 yr Birth By Sleep is by far the my favorite handheld Kingdom Hearts game and from what I've played KH3D seemed to be just as good.
April 30, 201510 yr Birth by Sleep all the way. It's probably the only KH game I loved playing on handheld, and it made me fall in love with the PSP. Plus the gameplay and story in general is just flawless. It doesn't even feel like playing a handheld.

April 30, 201510 yr Birth By Sleep and Dream Drop Distance are tied for my favorite, with 358/2 Days barely behind only because of Gameplay not being as good, and that's only because of it being an original DS game, so they could only do so much with Hardware they had, and they hadn't used Deck Commands yet, Re. Coded closely behind 358/2 Days, but I gave Dream Drop Distance my vote since you can only pick 1 and BBS and 358/2 Days didn't need the votes comparatively, but I love them all Edited April 30, 201510 yr by Sora_Roxas26
April 30, 201510 yr As I've always said, I love every single Kingdom Hearts game that has ever released, and while I love the handheld titles dearly, this was a bit of a tough pick for me. Eventually, my two choices tied to Birth By Sleep and Dream Drop Distance, but I ended up choosing Birth By Sleep! That game is just superbly amazing, and the tragic story of Terra, Ventus and Aqua remains my favorite among the series! So yeah, it's Birth By Sleep for me!
April 30, 201510 yr I`m different here, I choose 358/2 days. because this is the first game that we take the roled from villain point of view..(well not really villain point of view yet) but it`s just interesting to played as RoXas. and then in mission mode i could play as Xemnas. my favorite villain from KH series.
April 30, 201510 yr Dream Drop Distance, as it best displays just how far the gameplay and series itself has come.
April 30, 201510 yr At this moment, I choose Dream Drop Distance, but a lot of that is because BBS is on console now and it's sooo much better for it.
April 30, 201510 yr Was going to say BBS, but 358/2 because it brings back memories how my friend brought it for me and we tried to not pass one or another's progress as much as possible. Also there was multi-player, which we did stupid shit then. (Larxene is broken.)
April 30, 201510 yr CoM Bet you can guess why lol Might have to do with the fact that I'm slightly obsessed with Vexen
April 30, 201510 yr Birth By Sleep, as that game could have easily been on the PS3 all along because it feels like an actual KH adventure. KH3D is the same way, but it was a bit confusing, so it's my second favorite here, and as of right now my third favorite KH game, following after KHBBS as my second favorite and KH2 as my favorite!
April 30, 201510 yr I'd probably say BBS but I never had experience with it on the PSP. Chose Days in that case. Graphics were meh, but it was my very first KH game. It has a special place in my heart.
April 30, 201510 yr I found playing Birth By Sleep a lot more memorable than 3D to be honest. I'm currently giving 3D another shot, but not far enough to give a second opinion yet.
April 30, 201510 yr I'll cop to not having played Re:Coded, but BBS is one of the best games in the series for a reason. I liked 3D's polish, but BBS shines in its dedicated mechanics and amazing story. CoM is fun because GBA games were always amazing, and what I've played of Days (not all the way through yet) it's fun, but limited by the hardware.
April 30, 201510 yr 3D because it had the gameplay of BBS but more advanced with extra features. Plus I could play as Riku. BBS is close behind though because of the better story and introduction of the Command Decks plus the fact you could play as multiple characters (Aqua ). However, it lacked at the dificulty department for me, since I could defeat every boss with a single shotlock on Critical Mode.
April 30, 201510 yr Chain of Memories is my favourite of the handhelds. I acknowledge that Birth by Sleep is a great game and easily one of the best in the series, but I feel that the game is kind of a cop-out on the PSP. It's the type of game that could've easily been on another system and it really didn't make much use of the PSP as a whole. Chain of Memories on the other hand is an excellent handheld game, which is pretty much evident because the card system is horrible to play in 3D on Playstation. The game benefits from being in 2D and both the sprites and card system work so well together. The fewer buttons on the Game Boy make CoM very easy to pick up and play too. I found that with Re:CoM the camera controls were a nuisance. In terms of weakest handheld games, Days takes that trophy all day.
April 30, 201510 yr In my opinion, 358/2 Days is the best KH game plot-wise and it is better than the other KH games I can choose on this poll. However, KH3D is really close second.
Which KH game, originally designed for a handheld, is your favorite?
