    Eh, this is fake apparently.

    No mention of an announcement in Famitsu.

     PS3 or bust. Kingdom Hearts is one of the most amazing things to grace the name of PlayStation.

    Im so sick of square...bet its multiplatform for 360 as well. They can bring as many games to 360 as they want but it wont appeal to that audience. Microsoft probably bribes them too, and will get exclusive content.

    If kh3 goes muti plat im gonna destory square enix.

    • 7:47pm GMT - March 26th, 2009

    It is obviously the PSP and DS Exclusives, sorry but no KH3 yet

    • 7:57pm GMT - March 26th, 2009

    I think it's de PSP Birth by sleep release date announcement...

    It's the only one missing some info lately...

  13. Twilight93

    • 8:06pm GMT - March 26th, 2009

    Hopefully its a new title. If so, most likely KH3, but like the article states, I'm not getting my hopes up. I'm hoping, no, BEGGING it'll be on the PS3. KH is my favorite series and if Square screws this up: >:(

  14. iberianpower

    • 8:19pm GMT - March 26th, 2009

    Square have sold themselves to MS and have no soul.Annoucing this as a PS3 exclusive could be the first step to redemption but if its for the 360 again it will ruin forever SE reputation in Japan.

  17. xLightAcex

    • 8:24pm GMT - March 26th, 2009

    It better be the PSP release or KH3

  18. Free_Agent

    • 8:53pm GMT - March 26th, 2009

     You just watch, KH3 will be announced as a 360 exlcusive LOL, just kidding. I wouldn't be surprised though. Probably just announcing it's in development, and most likely for both consoles.

  19. Cloudie

    • 8:56pm GMT - March 26th, 2009

    Only on Nintendo Wii!

  23. supamariobrotha

    • 10:11pm GMT - March 26th, 2009

    let me guess their gonna release it on the crappy 360 and piss more loyal ps3 gamers off

  24. tgf5

    • 10:31pm GMT - March 26th, 2009

    It's Nomura. It will be Sony related.

  25. FloodOne

    • 10:33pm GMT - March 26th, 2009

    what does it matter if its on ps3 AND 360? The fanboys need to settle down.

  26. Razerblaze

    • 10:38pm GMT - March 26th, 2009

    I really hope this is PS3 related...I'm tired of all these potentially awesome announcements of games I'd be really interested in being for PSP or DS...Don't get me wrong, I love my PSP, but I mainly use it for portible internet, mp3 player, and transporting files...I just don't really want to sit in my room in front of a big screen tv and stare at my portable console playing a game.

  27. BlueDragoon0

    • 10:58pm GMT - March 26th, 2009

    It won't be anything interesting.

     

    Lol @ people getting hyped over nothing.

    hope its KH3 and not some other side story, they alreday announced enough, save some for later they only been two installments in the series thus far. just announce the game already.

    • 11:29pm GMT - March 26th, 2009

    I'm just waiting for the dissappointment of learning it's going Mutliplat. or complete betrayal and going to 360 exclusively(or timed exclusively)

  31. Robotron

    • 11:36pm GMT - March 26th, 2009

    Well considering Squeenix has been acting like they're in MS's back pocket I doubt this will be good news for PS owners. I hope the MS dollars make up for the sales they are losing (and no I won't be buying the next FF game....someone has to send a message and my wallet is the best way).

  32. zombieking36

    • 11:41pm GMT - March 26th, 2009

    ZOMG! I can't wait! KINGDOM HEARTS FTW!!!!!

    You know what... SE is just a sellout but hey who wouldnt accept tons of money? I'm pretty sure MS gives em enough money to make up for everything. SE aint the problem... it's MS. They have nothing to do in the gaming business. They are turning it into a retard business. Their console has no support for next gen content but they buy out compagnies like SE and deprive us from good games. Seriously, we would all have been WAY better without them. Heck I bought a PS3 because all rpgs were on PS2. But MS had to screw everything and steal our titles just for the sake of trying to sell more consoles. They messed the system up and reduced the number of games that would all have been released on PS3. Y not 360 instead of ps3? 360 fails at just runing a game... It overheats and dies. It doesnt have enough space on 1 dvd to fit any REAL next gen title. Overall 360 has so much less to offer... It can't be called the powerhouse of this gen. So PS3 should remain. Anyway I wish some internet crack steals all MS's money... then they would have nothing left to try and lure compagnies on their system failure.

     yeah, i agree. poster #1

    I see a few people getting flamed up over SE not releasing stuff on a SONY platform, and to be honest they have every right too. SE's worst decisions were to stop supporting a PlayStation console.

    "Kingdom hearts is now moving to Xbox 360!....why aren't you guys cheering?"

    PS3 exclusive!!! Considering both 1 & 2 were on PS2, only PS3 owners truly appreciated Kingdom Hearts enough to buy the black behemoth that's most likely to get the next main installment in the series . If you only bought a 360 or Wii, that's your sacrifice.

  39. Robotron

    • 2:20am GMT - March 27th, 2009

    I have to agree Neo_Aeon666 MS has no business in the gaming industry. What they really want is to control the media hub of every living room in the world. They want to be your new monthly bill to pay. They really want to be a utility company like your cable or phone collecting a revenue stream from games. movies and TV shows. The problem with MS is they can never build anything right. They take the attitude of "well let's just release it now and we can patch it later". Unfortunately that attitude does not work when it comes to hardware. I am a 360 owner and so are most of my friends. All of our 360s have died....numerous times....I'm on my 6th and my warranty is now gone. I also heard they eliminated the red-ring problem in the newer versions by just removing it as an error code. Way to go MS. Don't fix a problem put a bandage on it instead.

    So let them use their "influence" to try and take over. I won't be buying it. My 360 is the last MS product I will ever buy. If it wasn't for my PS3 then this would be the worst-gen of gaming I have ever seen. The 360 is a hardware crap-pile and the Wii is a software crap-pile and neither company seems to want to fix it. Now that Sony has their head out of their butts (let's hope there are no more crappy adverts or corporate egos) I like the way they are headed and I have found there is more than enough on the PS3 to keep me busy for a few years while my 360 and Wii collect dust.

    Sorry for the long rant folks.

    People expecting big news. You're setting yourself for a dissapointment.

    omfg...

    if it's KH3 i will piss my pants and cry myself to sleep in happiness

  42. hurleyboy

    • 3:15am GMT - March 27th, 2009

     THE big annoncement like there ff13 one will probably be kingdom hearts 3 and its nearly finished on ps3 but where gonna delay it 2 years to make the 360 version

  43. darkclaymore

    • 3:50am GMT - March 27th, 2009

    Well, I am not a big KH series fan, but I like it, so I hope the announcement is about KHIII

    Probably will be multi like FFXIII, but that isn't something I really care about

  44. Javonne

    • 6:37am GMT - March 27th, 2009

    dang it's too hard to not get my hopes up, but I'll give it a try

     

    lmao @ #16

  45. Radha

    • 9:08am GMT - March 27th, 2009

     is going multiplat surely

  46. d2jaxx

    • 12:43pm GMT - March 27th, 2009

    yeah, oh and it is cause, really have u heard of any kingdom hearts for x-box or game cube.....

    its would really take alll the fun out of that it would show people that they need to hook up with the playstation company.

  47. ryuken

    • 12:55pm GMT - March 27th, 2009

    I loved the KH games, getting to fight Sepheroth... priceless.

     

    I hope its only for PS3

  48. Lynnx

    • 3:57pm GMT - March 27th, 2009

    Guys, think about it, Tetsuya is a PlayStation guy! That's why he hasn't let Square Enix make FFVersusXIII go multiplatform. So I'm sure it's safe to say KHIII be a PlayStaion exclusive.

  49. Muzikguy

    • 4:33pm GMT - March 27th, 2009

    I would also hope it's related to the PS3. I didn't get into any KH game that was on the Gamecube or handhelds cuz I only have PS brand systems (and not the PSP)

  50. A-HAAA

    • 9:35pm GMT - March 27th, 2009

    @25

    its not fanboyism it something called delays and not a s good quality. We would have final afntasy know if it didnt go multi plat but it did know we are not able to get our hands on it until next year. the idea of making a multi plat game for an originla exclusive always ends up bad for the original exclusive sysytem.

    its testuya normuma we are talking about so playstation owners you are in good hands
