Chain of Memories, 356/2 Days, and Birth by Sleep are all unique games that would be spin-offs in any other franchise, but they’re essential to not just understanding Kingdom Hearts’ narrative, but appreciating the scope of the series’ game design. This set up a trend for the series’ non-numbered installments. CoM filled an important narrative gap that needed filling. It’s different enough in design where one might consider it a spin-off, but not so detached from the first game where it feels inconsequential, filler, or just out of place. Audiences may have placed down their Keyblade for a pack of playing cards, but Chain of Memories stayed true to the Kingdom Hearts experience.
Despite being a GBA follow up to a PS2 game with completely different combat, Chain of Memories served as an immediate & important direct sequel to the events of the first game– one necessary to play in order to understand everything in Kingdom Hearts IIwith as much clarity as possible. So whilst we may not see any other Kingdom Hearts games come to Switch in the immediate future, at least the series' biggest fans can satiate their hunger for more of Nomura's ludicrous madness in November.Kingdom Hearts made a bold statement with Chain of Memories in 2004: there are no spin-offs. What's more, if you're into the mad, magical, and myopic lore of the series, you're in luck – the upcoming rhythm-action game will "follow on from the events after ReMind" (thanks, NME). If you're a fan of the series, at least Melody of Memory is worth checking out: it boasts over 140 songs with music from Disney, the Kingdom Hearts series, and “more.” To see this content please enable targeting cookies.

Kingdom Hearts creator Tetsuya Nomura has confirmed that there are currently no plans to bring more Kingdom Hearts games to the Nintendo Switch.Īccording to an interview over at Nintendo Enthusiast, Nomura confirmed via translator that there are "no plans" to bring more Kingdom Hearts titles to Nintendo's plucky little portable console after Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory launches on November 13.
