Welcome back to yet another Toonami Squad Gaming Zone System Update for the week of January 24th, 2022!
Square Enix has announced that Kingdom Hearts Integrum Masterpiece for Cloud, a collection of Kingdom Hearts titles for Switch, will be released on February 10th. The collection includes Kingdom Hearts 1.5, 2.5, 2.8, and 3, as well as the Re Mind DLC for KH3. Additionally, the Advent Red Keyblade will be a Switch exclusive for KH3. If I can be honest about the Kingdom Hearts games as cloud titles, they are unplayable. If you really want to play the series, play them on PC, PlayStation 4/5, or on Xbox.
Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5+2.5, 2.8, III + Re Mind (DLC) as well as the all-in-one Integrum Masterpiece all launch on Nintendo Switch via cloud on February 10th!
Starting today you’ll be able to try out free playable demos of 1.5+2.5, 2.8 and III, we hope you have fun playing! pic.twitter.com/LjrLCYsaPN
