Bruh, I didn’t even know this existed.

The return of the King
February 14, 2022 @ 6:51 pm
Nintendo make great games but they’re practises are very anti-consumer and I have no idea why people don’t complain about it more.
February 14, 2022 @ 6:52 pm
Jacob, your my favorite Kingdo Hearts Youtuber even if your not and its more about square enix but kinda not.. Idk you cool and your content is well done.
February 14, 2022 @ 6:57 pm
My old Windows XP with less than 1 gig of ram could run an old version of the emulator of PCSX2 with KH2FM+ with the partial english patch that released many years ago
it just seems that anything outside of Yoshi-P/FF14 is a fucking travesty with this people
February 14, 2022 @ 6:59 pm
The more I read the Square Enix New Year’s Letter, the more it read’s like a threat XD
February 14, 2022 @ 7:02 pm
A wise man said once: Man is the only animal that trips twice over the same stone. SQUARE at this point has tripped with both feet on the same stone and opened a wound im their forehead
February 14, 2022 @ 7:03 pm
I’m actually kind of afraid of this selling well because… well, everything sells well on the switch
February 14, 2022 @ 7:09 pm
Magitech-nologies actually sounds good.
February 14, 2022 @ 7:13 pm
people don’t hate on Square cause FF has all of us by the nostalgia balls… but, I mean… NFTs and Cloud gaming???
The light of the crystal apparently shines green
February 14, 2022 @ 7:13 pm
I don’t know cloud gaming but makes sense lol thank you Jacob
February 14, 2022 @ 7:16 pm
I will never support this bullshit. I would have bought a physical or digital copy day 1. I will never ever buy a game thats being streamed
February 14, 2022 @ 7:19 pm
I’m exhausted with being mad at this company since 2006
February 14, 2022 @ 7:19 pm
Remember watching this channel like 7 years ago! Always made quality content
February 14, 2022 @ 7:20 pm
Great video Jacob!
BTW could you post some of the articles in this video in the description? Would love to read them.
February 14, 2022 @ 7:21 pm
Yeah this makes sense.
February 14, 2022 @ 7:22 pm
Fantastic arguments all around, this was very well thought out. Makes me really sad because I just picked up the entire series for 30 bucks at Walmart on PS4, but one of my family members bought it on switch because he didn’t have any other system or console. I want to send him this video but I don’t want to make him feel bad for shelling out $71 :/
February 14, 2022 @ 7:23 pm
Thank you for reminding me why I love your YouTube channel so much 🙂 editing and humor were on point, and honestly you’ve inspired a lot of the videos on my own channel. Keep up the great work!
February 14, 2022 @ 7:23 pm
This video needs to be shared, enough said.
February 14, 2022 @ 7:27 pm
Honestly though if they needed to do this why not just have it run on mobile with the cloud.
Or just have f2p game on the switch with the cloud.
No I’m not advocating for the company to exploit its players but that at the end of the day this is not a trend that’s going to end with people making a ruckus.
People love SMT and Persona but Atlus will always release old content for full price and charge enormously for dlc. People talk about FF7 getting milked now but its been milked for decade’s same with Pokémon Monster Hunter Zelda and most Japanese IP
This is just what Japanese game development looks like and we live in a world where customers have to be liable for there purchase.
Because its not like 2005 where your only exposure is a magazine kids at the school yard and game awards.
I just think why do this when KH on Mobile would have been better. Preferably would have like to see KH UC remake but let’s be honest KH 4 isn’t what were going to see
It will be KH Crimson Opal Oasis longing. With a definitive addition 2 years later.
But if its good I’ll buy if not then I’ll play something else but the switch cloud thing was just … I don’t get that choice
February 14, 2022 @ 7:28 pm
I wasn’t too happy seeing KH games on cloud for the switch.
February 14, 2022 @ 7:29 pm
It’s worth saying that while you shouldn’t buy these collections on Nintendo Switch, you SHOULD buy them on Playstation, Xbox, or PC! The 1.5+2.5 collection was already an incredible package, but the All-In-One Collection throws in 2.8 and KH3 to provide maybe the most bang for your buck of ANY single video game collection on the market right now.
February 14, 2022 @ 7:39 pm
Sad fact is that is actually selling well apparently 🙁
February 14, 2022 @ 7:43 pm
I mostly agree with your sentiments on cloud gaming. For the majority of people cloud games simply won’t work for any number of reasons, but there’s nothing wrong with giving people the option and allowing them to make up their own minds on the matter.
February 14, 2022 @ 7:51 pm
I’ve been robbed of the chance to play Kingdom Hearts 2 on the go ;-;
February 14, 2022 @ 7:59 pm
I’m just waiting for Kingdom Hearts to come to Steam.
February 14, 2022 @ 8:04 pm
Always love how you go one step beyond the current conversation instead of just pointing out the obvious.
February 14, 2022 @ 8:16 pm
Song at 7:20?
Great video btw
February 14, 2022 @ 8:43 pm
Shinra is the most slimy company in video game history
Oh and the FF7 shinra was pretty bad too I guess
February 14, 2022 @ 8:45 pm
Get it on PC. We have mods.
February 14, 2022 @ 8:51 pm
And then a lot of folks had error problems on launch day smh.
I will be interested to see how the numbers shake out after that misstep but like Jacob said it will probably sell like crazy.
I for one feel pretty luck with how my exspriance worked out. I was crusing the e-store after the nintindo direct (I didn’t watch and hardly ever do for those kind of events) and saw that they were on sale for pre-order and would release the next day. KH3+re-mind was $40 so I figured whey not, had no idea what cloud gaming was at the time. Didn’t realise the really good deal was the all in one collection at the time but that is neither here nor there at this point. the next day I tried to boot up and was met with the error and upon a quick Google search I found out a lot of folks were dealing with this and allegedly there was a patch coming, this is also when I found out what cloud gaming is (thanks Reddit) so I connected to Nintendo. I would have actually waited for a patch had it not been for the cloud thing but that whole system felt off to me. I don’t want to have to have an internet connection to play a one player game! I feel like I got off lucky that I manged to get a full refund when I told them I was unable to play the game, didn’t mention my thoughts on cloud gaming though. I kinda wish I had because I feel like they might listen a bit more if the complaint costs them sales. Still I gotta wonder how many complaints they were getting at that time about the error, yikes!
February 14, 2022 @ 8:53 pm
Hey Jacob you planning on doing any coverage for triangle strategy when it drops? I know you made that video on it like a year ago and seemed cautiously optimistic
February 14, 2022 @ 9:06 pm
Damn, it’s good to see you back
February 14, 2022 @ 9:23 pm
Then Kingdom Hearts* Cloud version is the 2nd best seller in Japan…
YET! Many people are having trouble getting access to the game during peak hours (non peak are office and school hours), making it useless to many people.
February 14, 2022 @ 9:40 pm
It’s a shame it doesn’t work, cause Kingdom Hearts is a perfect game for the Switch.
…
But yeah, having the physical copy is better anyway. Love your green screen room.
February 14, 2022 @ 10:12 pm
To be fair naming a company based on a functional company in one of your games is amazing! It sucks they only had Shinra but saying you work for a fictional organization I just lovr

Fantastic video. Solid jokes, cool info, great length can’t wait for more

February 14, 2022 @ 10:59 pm
Great upload, Jacob. It’s so weird they made the decision to put most of the kh games on the cloud. It absolutely makes sense for kh3 as I do not think the switch can even run that but the earlier ds, and ps2 titles shoudve been very easy to run on the switch if games like devil may cry, resident evil 1, and The Witcher 3 (downgraded I think abit to run on it) can be run on the switch 😅
February 14, 2022 @ 11:42 pm
Ok, matsuda needs to go. I thought he was a pretty good ceo, but the fact that he supports NFTs and Cloud gaming really tells me that his viewpoints are cancerous.
February 15, 2022 @ 12:35 am
cries in Australian internet
February 15, 2022 @ 1:33 am
If this is what happened and I wouldn’t be surprised if it was, then that person didn’t know what they were talking about. People want Kingdom Hearts on Switch NATIVELY. With KH 3 and 0.2 Birth by Sleep, I get it, but come on, literally every other game could be native to the Switch. These games were the PS2 and PS3 for crying out loud. Surely they can be on the freaking Switch. Heck, Melody of Memory got on Switch, and from what I’ve heard, it runs amazingly. If you’re going to do Cloud versions, then you should at the very least give us the best experience.
February 15, 2022 @ 4:08 am
I am like number 274
February 15, 2022 @ 4:49 am
Is the cloud version running on a white-label Google Stadia? They might not even be taking a risk building their own cloud gaming infrastructure.
February 15, 2022 @ 6:18 am
Lmao i legit think that thumbnail said why Cloud is dumber that you think in Kingdom Hearts, and was ready to throw hands and remember the atrocious Cloud Server problems.
February 15, 2022 @ 6:59 am
Cloud playing on the switch is hot garbage. The wifi chip on the switch is weak even in the same room as the wifi router (and Im running 5ghz conection with 1GB fiber connection) definitely a shameless cash grab.
February 15, 2022 @ 7:27 am
Easy solution. Vote with your wallet.
February 15, 2022 @ 7:34 am
I have a gamer PC, the ONLY reason I would rather buy a game on the Switch and not on PC is because I can play it on portable mode, I actually got a few games on Switch that I already had on Steam so I could play on portable mode, wich makes absolutely no sense with cloud gaming, specially when you consider that the game is much cheaper on PC.
So, not gonna buy it.
February 15, 2022 @ 7:52 am
Great video! It was convincing and entertaining all the way through! Your theory at least makes more sense than people blaming it on “lazy developers”. Could we please get over that phase already?
Btw 5:47 I see someone’s been watching some Tim Rogers…
February 15, 2022 @ 8:24 am
Thank you for a new argument for the side from SE. It always nice to have a new view on the matter. I was more thinking that a simpel port of KH PC games is cheaper for SE to make a quick buck before the 20th years thing and the hype with Sora in Smash. It think it a multipe reasion why we only got this infeaior version. Sad that a great dream, to play KH on the go, was such a disapiontment. But we got a nice video in return, so Square is Sqaure again. Hope KH stay away from the more “shady” side of Square Enix. Look at the poor Final Fantasys Fans.
February 15, 2022 @ 8:38 am
They’ll most likely release the physical version once most of the fans bought the cloud version. At least that I think could happen.
February 15, 2022 @ 8:42 am
Really thoughtful points here. While I do own a Nintendo Switch, I had no interest in this release to begin with since I already bought the collection on PC last year. Now that I’m seeing feedback on it and whatnot, I’m even more convinced that it’s just a waste of time and money.
February 15, 2022 @ 8:58 am
actualy kills me cause i stay at my familys home somtimes away from my set up and was hype for at the least to be able to play kh 1 and 2 and the others except 3 while i wasent home….. god damn man
February 15, 2022 @ 9:39 am
Advent Children wasn’t a failure, though. It’s a good (if misunderstood) film and it did fine financially.
February 15, 2022 @ 10:00 am
This is probly marketed at kids who don’t understand this version of the game and just want to play Kingdom hearts.
February 15, 2022 @ 10:03 am
If you’re phone has the ability for a hotspot and you have data, you can transfer your connection which gives you the ability to go online with your Switch. I go in the woods at some boulders and game in peace and quiet every so often.
February 15, 2022 @ 10:17 am
Basically you dont even own the game, you’re just renting it
February 15, 2022 @ 10:56 am
I get the convenience sake when it comes to Cloud gaming, but the technology just isn’t there yet. We’re like a decade behind for a technology like that to catch up and Switch is mainly a portable device where it already defeats its purpose. It’s not like Gamepass where you have a paid monthly subscription service and you can install every game from the list on your drive as long as you pay for that service. And selling the complete package on Cloud for a lot higher price compared to the competition is a dick move from Square-Enix. Just outsource the project to a different company and optimize them to run the HD remasters natively. I’d be happy to pay for it.
February 15, 2022 @ 12:22 pm
It wouldn’t be so bad if they didn’t cost so much. 🤷♀️ likkkeee whaaaat? Games are old af
February 15, 2022 @ 12:49 pm
See I wanted to play KH2 on the go, so I got an emulator and play on my phone with a ps4 controller. It’s awesome. Then when I want it on my TV I just use a USB-c to HDMI adapter. No need to buy the same game 7 different times
February 15, 2022 @ 12:58 pm
There is no reason the switch cant run Kingdom Hearts on a Cartridge . I would never pay for a cloud version. If the ps3 can play all these titles no reasons for the switch to do a cloud version. This makes me think wtf Nintendo, you released recoded on the DS! You released dream drop distance on the 3ds! You could have at least included 2 titles upscaled to not have to be played on the cloud. Especially your own versions. This is just a disappointment. With over 100 million switches sold, a cloud version was not the way to go. Of course the servers will be backed up, Nintendo used to lease there servers. Its why the DSi shop was closed after only 8 years, even though you could buy a DSI in 2013 brand new. But then you got 3 years of the Dsi shop saying it was closing. Always thought that was terrible move not utilizing the new hardware or cpu in the dsi besides asphalt elite racing. Then we had wii eliminate everything. But had a long span of online since it was released in 2006. But now with Nintendo owning servers and making you pay for online. They are going to need to step up there online gaming abilities. A cloud version isnt even need for this game which is the worse part. DO NOT SPEND MONEY ON THIS!
February 15, 2022 @ 1:20 pm
Kingdom Hearts Fans:”We want KH ported to Switch similar to The Witcher 3 and Doom a straight up port!”
Square Enix:”Heard you loud and clear you want the cloud version right?”
Kingdom Hearts Fans:”That’s not what we even said!”
February 15, 2022 @ 1:54 pm
9:30
THIS!!! I can’t believe not as many people are upset by this part alone! Why should I have to pay $90 for these games when I WON’T EVEN OWN THEM??? But this again shows Square doesn’t really care about the of the ports after the real bad bugs with both PS3 and PC ports. Leave it to Square though to turn something that should be simple to something needlessly complicated
February 15, 2022 @ 2:10 pm
Wait. Haven’t they already tested cloud gaming on Switch? They released hitman 3 and Guardians of the Galaxy on Switch Via cloud gaming. I’m assuming those games didn’t sell all too well and if my assumption is right, why keep trying? Is development and maintenance of a cloud version that much cheaper than porting the game to the point that it justifies lower sales?
February 15, 2022 @ 2:59 pm
Finished 1 10 times, 2 about 40 times, never even touched 3. Good to see they have kept up with terrible customer focus where they don’t care about you and only want money while Nintendo lives in 1990 with their internet and customer service. Nintendo really deserves none of our money, and they’d get nothing and die off as a company if their games were not as good as they are. Well, just go back to emulation. Why anyone would spend money on KH for the switch regardless confuses me unless you literally somehow don’t have a PC or any other console. And even then it is still not worth it.
February 15, 2022 @ 3:27 pm
I LOVEEEEE CLOOOOOUUUUUDDDDD GAAAMINGGGGG 🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀
February 15, 2022 @ 3:49 pm
so upon further testing the cloud version of KH2 is suspected to be the prepatched pc version. audio doesn’t play correctly (trinity major drive and magnet at the same time has audio issues) and thunder is like dubstep thunder
February 15, 2022 @ 4:27 pm
The best option would just be to emulate the PS2 versions on a modded switch
February 15, 2022 @ 5:30 pm
Right to the point, and thank you for reminding people to not buy into this crappy future of cloud gaming. (Buy them anywhere else lol, or #emulate).
February 15, 2022 @ 5:38 pm
I do own Kingdom Hearts on Playstation, PC and recently Xbox but I still want it for the Switch I feel ya but the steam deck will come to rescue Kingdom Hearts to get it on the go and besides you will play it with mods that will be so much better!
February 15, 2022 @ 6:21 pm
Wow, this is how out of the loop I’ve been on gaming these past few months because I didn’t even know it’d come out on Switch until I saw your Twitter post. At first, I was like, oh, a Cloud version? What does Cloud have to do with this? And then I looked it up and I was like ‘oh – that kind of cloud’.
Anyway, nice to see a vid from you! I always love your expressions when you say something that’s just common sense. What’s the point of buying for the Switch if you can’t even play it on the go? Unless that’s your only console but if it’s your only console, that’s kind of sad. At this point, the PS4 is pretty cheap and has way too many games on it to not be worth buying.
February 15, 2022 @ 6:53 pm
Tolate I brought it on for the switch it been running well with no lag yet I on the story of frozen now
February 15, 2022 @ 7:12 pm
in conclusion: KH fans are suckers.
Explains why they all think KH3 was anything other than below average.
February 15, 2022 @ 9:11 pm
My bad but umm.. Kh first came out for the ps2… Same with kh2…
February 15, 2022 @ 9:24 pm
Disappointing cause i have all the games on my p4 but still wouldve paid whatever they wanted for a physical copy on switch smh hopefully one day in the future
February 15, 2022 @ 10:03 pm
6:45 HIGHWIND!
February 16, 2022 @ 12:29 am
so Square Enix is acting like Sega with dumb decisions that could make them go bankrupt.
February 16, 2022 @ 12:52 am
Y’know, this whole cloud gaming could have been avoided if the switch OLED wasn’t a waste of time/money and was actually a better version of the switch instead of a waste of plastic sold for 50$ more.
February 16, 2022 @ 1:58 am
Oh way, Jacob’s back.
That was a fun history lesson. I migh’ve heard of Shinra back then but I had long forgotten about it. Interesting perspective
February 16, 2022 @ 2:02 am
I can’t imagine a world where these are going to see well enough to net amy kind of pro it with all the literal freezing bugs and crashes. No one wants this. And the people that are buying it are finding out they shouldn’t have.
February 16, 2022 @ 3:03 am
This is sad.
February 16, 2022 @ 3:15 am
I’m just imagining someone in Square Enix feeling very burned by Melody of Memories I guess not selling the best that they just spawned a hellfire of an release out of spite.
February 16, 2022 @ 5:14 am
Is this the video Twitter user Roxas screenshot and posted on Twitter? Okay then, one down, seven to go.
February 16, 2022 @ 7:12 am
I don’t understand why even put it on switch if it can’t handle it. Then again, I guess I do—money.
February 16, 2022 @ 7:48 am
Secret boss fights in any KH game but through barftastic internet: hooray dropping 100 bucks! EEEEEEEEIGH *BLARFF*
February 16, 2022 @ 9:08 am
Racing Riku on cloud version would probably make someone kill themself
February 16, 2022 @ 11:42 am
Jacob: You can’t play Kingdom hearts on the go.
Me: You know we have gaming laptops in our possesion right?
February 16, 2022 @ 11:51 am
And yet they port games like Darksiders III … like the proffit of that game would be worth it comparing to Kingdom Hearts
February 16, 2022 @ 12:40 pm
I hear people talk about how the collections have absurd file sizes that would be painful to fit on the Switch’s storage or a game card, but that’s horseshit because they fit the games on PS3 BLU-RAY DISCS. If those can handle the games, Switch cards can, too. Just separate 1.5 and 2.5 and you’re good. You didn’t need a cloud version.
February 16, 2022 @ 1:32 pm
I hate how scummy it is that we pretty much can’t even really vote with our wallets on this for what we actually want
Buying the game on other platforms will just tell them that “There’s no audience for KH on Nintendo platforms so let’s not do that ever again”
Not buying them at all will say the same thing
Buying them will tell them that “Cloud versions are perfectly acceptable” even when they’re very much not
It’s almost as bad as them calling Neo TWEWY a failure because it didn’t sell as well as *FF7 REMAKE*
I’m pirating this shit cuz of how terrible this is
February 16, 2022 @ 1:34 pm
That “Cloud in Kingdom Hearts III” joke was so dumb and obvious, yet it still made me laugh.
February 16, 2022 @ 1:36 pm
I can play easily in handheld mode. Haven’t had any issues except for one. When the servers get to busy then it’s harder to play.
February 16, 2022 @ 1:41 pm
for my anger venting:THEYRE FUCKING PS2 GAMES SQUARE. FUCKING HELL
February 16, 2022 @ 2:26 pm
Greedy and lazy SE won’t stop pulling this garbage since idiots keep buying and supporting this crime anyway.
February 16, 2022 @ 3:15 pm
I love how when the video starts, first music I hear is Cloudchasers
February 16, 2022 @ 4:23 pm
wow, it’s even worst than i could ever imagine!
February 16, 2022 @ 4:48 pm
I’m not normally that guy, but after reading that new years letter I don’t think I’d buy games from them even if they released it in a physical copy. My inconsistent personal feelings tell me I should shop elsewhere.
February 16, 2022 @ 5:38 pm
Cloud and subscription based gaming is you will own NOTHING!!
February 16, 2022 @ 6:37 pm
The games aren’t bad, I’m still playing the same game as on other consoles and PC. The lag and cuts are the only problem really. I had the eshop cards to pay for it and I am satisfied with my purchase. I am gonna stop listening to people who say it’s bad, I respect your opinion but I can’t turn back anymore.
February 16, 2022 @ 6:47 pm
Man……Kingdom Hearts fans will buy ANYTHING I already bought the original games, the remasters and the remasters of the remasters like everybody else, I couldn’t understand the thought process behind buying these games again on the switch and not even actually owning them…….
February 16, 2022 @ 6:53 pm
It’s 2022… this is unacceptable.
February 16, 2022 @ 7:08 pm
I’m not buying any other versions of Kingdom Hearts. Screw the PS3, PS4, PS5, and all the Xbox and PC versions! I want a real, PHYSICAL Nintendo Switch version of Kingdom Hearts, and I’ll wait for the Cloud versions to die off and the servers taken offline to buy (hopefully) physical versions on the Switch. It’s not like Square couldn’t port KH 1 and 2 over to Switch SD cards. 3 is a definite “no”, and from what I hear, 3 really sucks and doesn’t sound like it’s worth playing.
So I’ll wait. I’ll wait for Square to do the proper thing and make actual Switch ports of KH1+2 on a single cart. It may never come, but I’ll still wait. And I won’t spend. A single. Dime. On any other version before then.
February 16, 2022 @ 7:13 pm
I only have a switch! I’ve been waiting for kh to come out on Nintendo and this is what we get????
February 16, 2022 @ 8:10 pm
i see you’ve gone to the tim rogers school of sound effects
February 16, 2022 @ 8:37 pm
You know it’s bad when you have to recommend switch owners to buy a used PS3 and the KH remix games
February 16, 2022 @ 8:52 pm
Yet even though we got our prayers answered, everyone is still crying about it
February 17, 2022 @ 12:12 am
But I like Advent Children. And Kingsglaive tho.
Can I at least say it’s better than their first “Final Fantasy” movie at least? Geez.
February 17, 2022 @ 12:25 am
“We want Kingdom Hearts on Switch, pleeease…
NOOOOOOOOOOO not like thiiiis…”
February 17, 2022 @ 12:37 am
I’m sorry, but you have to be incredibly gullible and naive if anyone think this is a good idea. Why would you invest in a system that *heavily limits* the Switch that has one purpose on its selling point; playing on the go and *anywhere you go.*
I hope this Cloud database fails, if successful Nintendo would start doing Cloud services with their major games.
February 17, 2022 @ 1:20 am
Maybe they should turn kingdom hearts into a CGI animated tv series and have it air on Disney channel. I’m sure it would become the number one show on Disney channel.
February 17, 2022 @ 2:50 am
Return of the king
February 17, 2022 @ 3:09 am
Great vid
February 17, 2022 @ 7:04 am
Square could honestly sell all their kingdom heart games on the switch except for 3
February 17, 2022 @ 7:17 am
lol nahh the reason can’t be any more dumber than i think
February 17, 2022 @ 7:58 am
Ton of good points, I really wanted them portable but I’m too stubborn. Can’t support the cloud bs

Catering to people with terrible internet is a weird demographic choice.

Always strange that most of the fault is pinned on Square, when it’s a service by Nintendo that should work right?
Easy gaming through cloud gaming is not a bad idea. Easier to “port” games so developers can develop new things.
For me it’s just strange how Nintendo dodges negative feedback again.

I understand his logic and why it angers him. Hell. I wish I would have gotten physical copies myself. But buying them on the xbox I’d have to buy them very near the same price. I know cause I was going to and I was like nah. On xbox 1.5+2.5 is 50 bucks. Not to mention the other titles. My series x is connected to the internet either way and I can’t take it anywhere. Not to mention I have the OLED switch that has a built in Ethernet port. And contrary to popular belief the KH collection runs GREAT for me from the cloud. The thing is I use my tv to stream shows and stuff for me and my family so I pick up my switch and go handheld. I can’t do that with xbox unless I get really bad latency with game streaming. Like xbox streaming is BAD. On my switch it runs great docked and handheld so I bought the collection for 70+ bucks and have had a blast. I never play KH before so getting into the series this way is awesome. I love my switch and prefer to play on it over anything else even having a series x. So KH isn’t a complete failure for the right person but i digress.

I could see this definitely happening, like there is no reason for KH1 and KH2 to be a cloud version.

Hopefully Square gets its head out of his you-know-what and ports these games to Switch for real. Not as Cloud versions.

It does make sense if you are a business that already struggled to optimise the collection for ps3 and don’t want to waste time repeating that struggle on the switch which is basically a ps3 pro. I don’t like it but I can see that side of it. Of course this is probably also true. But I don’t think it is the only reason.

Honestly I’m just gonna say it now I hope Nintendo buys square enix cuz square enix is going to fold in a few years with their retared bizness choices

My games run pretty well. I just finished KH1 on my switch and it worked fine. Was the performance completely flawless all the way through? No. But these issues were few and far between. Like maybe once every 2-5 hours for 1 minute. And it’s not like I’m paying loads and loads of money for my internet. It’s a pretty average connection I got.
Maybe things are worse in America, living in Germany, I cannot comment on that but for me it works fine.
And some people don’t have a PlayStation 4 or X-Box or a decent PC. I got an old laptop, a switch, and a 2DS. For me it was a good deal, and I don’t regret it. Do I wish they were a little cheaper ? Yes. Do I wish I could play them without being constantly connected to the internet? Of course. But it’s not as bad as everyone’s saying. I already finished the first game. It went fine. Did I manage to defeat Sephiroth? No. But that’s not because of the cloud version, that’s because I’m not THAT good at the game hahaha.
