Tetsuya Nomura, designer for Square Enix, has suggested that Kingdom Hearts 3 will indeed launch on home consoles. The next game in the Disney/Final Fantasy crossover series, Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance, launches on the Nintendo 3DS. The series has been a hand-held staple sinc the 2005 release of Kingdom Hearts 2 for the PlayStation 2.
In an interview with Game Informer (via The Silent Chief), Nomura said it was time for Kingdom Hearts to be back on a home console.
“We have been invited to make games on different new platforms, and every time we have created titles making sure that they are highly compatible with the platform,” Nomura said.
When asked about the PS Vita. “The PS Vita is definitely a powerful device that is very interesting, but because of its high power, there isn’t much of a difference with a console.
“So even if we were to make a game, we would have to be very careful about how to create it for that device. I also feel that it’s about time that Kingdom Hearts should go back to being on a console.”
Nomura also said he is interested in working on an HD collection of the Kingdom Hearts series.
“If it is possible, I would like to do something about the series being spread over so many different consoles, too. I am thinking a lot about the future.”
