If I recall correctly the PS3 ports didn't actually run at 60. The PS4 ports did

Kingdom Hearts was a bigger mistake

Huh, I remember them being pretty fluid and assumed they were 60 FPS

What's hilarious to me is that it's a cloud version AND 20 FPS, talk about a gutterball

There's absolutely no reason none of the Kingdom Hearts games until KH3 couldn't have been regular releases on the Switch. This cloud gaming shit is a disaster.

All of the Kingdom Hearts games except for 3 coyld and should run natively at 60 frames per second on the Switch.

It's one thing to do the cloud gaming thing with something like Control, which only barely ran on last-gen consoles. But these games are up to 20 years old, and all of them ran on hardware that the switch could basically emulate at this point.

I mean, it depends on your connection, doesn't it? It's not actually running on the Switch, its streaming to it? Or did I misunderstand?

Not sure why they decided to release this on the Cloud only. Pretty sure the Switch could handle all the games.

I think even 3 could run, they'd just have to do some work, ala Witcher 3 or Doom Eternal.

cloud gaming works okay on my Series X

I'm pretty sure it's a cartridge issue. KH 1.5 + 2.5 is nearly 60gb on PC. They can't fit that on Switch cartridges.

Yes, that's exactly it.

You're using your internet connection to run the game on a remote server, not your console.

So, not only do you need to be online at all to even play it, but your connection strength will vastly affect your experience, sometimes for the worse. And like I said, at some point in the future, the server will be shut down, permanently prevent you from playing the game you spent several dozen dollars on.

didnt buy a Switch for third party games anyway... lol

Jesus Christ lol

There's a in-game lore reason for this

What passes me off is

Shit like this isn't what makes Dunkey. Those glitches are his.

I would've reacted the same way lol

Square-Enix can be fucking braindead sometimes.

That's what happens when you try to do cloud gaming for a game without Cloud in it.

Borderlands 2 is like 30gb on Switch and comes as a download code in its collection. IIRC Square has complained that the KH games are difficult to port in the past. I couldn't tell you why, but I think they figured it would cost too much to port profitably.

I can handle digital being the future... but NOT fucking cloud gaming.

Ive tried it a few times, NEVER had a positive experience. Best case scenario is vertigo inducing input lag.

BEST case scenario.

For KH1 I remember them saying they lost the source code. They remade that whole game

Very silly of them

What I find funny is that if they spent some effort in actually porting the games (except for KH3) it would've ran better than this cloud nonsense.

They didn't remake the whole game, they just got a ROM of it and modified/hacked it.

Pirate community: YOU'RE WELCOME!

I didnt notice the difference between this and 60fps tbh

They easily could have just ported the PS3 versions of the games and probably have been better off for it.

Also that 60GB stuff is without them compressing. Nintendo compresses the hell out of their games without any noticeable quality dip.
