KH3 on the Wii: Keyblades, shadows, and nobodies

Over at the PS2 RPG Site, Alex Donaldson has a very lengthy musing on the details surrounding the rumored move to the Wii of Square-Enix’s Kingdom Hearts franchise, the pros and cons of having Kingdom Hearts ported to the Wii, and if whether or not the move to the Wii will add a sense of freshness to a story, that Donaldson feels, is getting old already.

While this blogger has a different opinion as to the “freshness” of Kingdom Heart’s plot, and the need of Kingdom Hearts to be “saved,” this blogger does agree with a lot of his other points. This blogger also finds Donaldson’s theories to be very entertaining and amusing. Now Let’s go tackle the rumor first.

The problems with the Rumor, or lack thereof
The ending of KH2 implied that there will be a third installment in the series (if we gave more detail on the ending, then we’d be spoiling you). Moreover, the game has sold incredibly well. Donaldson thinks that the game is too successful to not have a sequel. But why a move to the Wii?

The problems with the Rumor, or lack thereof
The ending of KH2 implied that there will be a third installment in the series (if we gave more detail on the ending, then we’d be spoiling you). Moreover, the game has sold incredibly well. Donaldson thinks that the game is too successful to not have a sequel. But why a move to the Wii?

Donaldson says that the reason that this rumored move carries so much clout is that Disney has set up a studio dedicated to the Wii and nothing else. Add to that the fact that Nintendo and Disney both have a family-oriented drive, add the good relationship between Square-Enix and Disney, and we have a rumor that’s definitely believable.

Why the series needs the move
Donaldson feels that because Square-Enix is not allowed to create new stories involving already existing Disney worlds, the series is in danger. He says that the series is rapidly running out of Disney Worlds to explore and Disney stories to get involved with.

He also got a bit tired with the gameplay mechanics and the plot of the second installment, and he feels that the Wii, and the fresh gameplay that the Wiimote introduces will help liven up the series again.

Not just the Wiimote
He goes on to say that it isn’t just the Wiimote that’s enticing about a Kingdom Hearts made for the Wii. Donaldson says that since Kingdom Hearts already is a huge fanboy cross-over fest, we should be open to the possibilities.

He asks us all to imagine Heartless invading Hyrule, and Nobodies fighting Samus…

…Promising isn’t it? Of course this is all speculation based on rumors and this is just Donaldson being hopeful, but you have to admit, it’s fun to have something to look forward to every now and then right?
