Kingdom Hearts 2?

[Legacy]

I have no idea why I thought this idea up... but I think it is a pretty neat one. With all these rumors of Nintendo no longer building game consoles (maybe it's fact, I don't know), that leaves the two companies with noticable characters without their own systems to play on. Now... we have Mario, a character that has had success as an RPG character, Sonic, a character who I feel is deserving of some sort of RPG story, and Playstation 2. Playstation is the company that has proven itself in the RPG market. Now what if Squaresoft was nice enough to take the concept of Kingdom Hearts and do it with Nintendo and Sega characters. I can picture Mario, Luigi, Sonic, and Tails (or Knuckles) all lined up ready to fight an evil far greater then any of them have ever seen before. Their trek could take them through Mushroom Kingdom, Emerald Valley... shoot they could even throw Crash Bandicoot in as a character. I think they should create a character as the base, much like Sora in KH. Anyway, what do you guys think of this idea.

Great idea, Kicker! :sohappy:

It'd be an interesting idea, especially considering what a joy it was to see all the Nintendo characters together with voice talent and signature nuances for the Smash Brothers games. Of course, your idea would bring them together for something other than a pan-video game Fight Club.

Of course, there's still enough Disney Characters out there to do a Kingdom Hearts 2 with all Disney properties, especially if they were to incorporate things like Bedknobs and Broomsticks, Robin Hood, and 20,000 leagues under the sea.

What would be REALLY neat would be a WDW-oriented Kingdom Hearts-style game that used the same premise as Adventures in the Magic Kingdom.

actually... there's already rumor of there being a Kingdom Hearts 2.

Major spoiler coming up... I'll do it in silver so that you will need to highlight the text... don't want to anger anyone

or maybe not... PM me if you're curious enough. (dang boards don't offer the same color for text as the background... grrr)

And sorry folks... this is not a rumored ending. This thing has been confirmed way too many times. But is it truly for KH2? No one knows for sure... I have heard of Square and Disney looking at the possibilty of doing a sequel to the game if it proves to be a big enough seller. the Japanese consumers are getting treated to another release of KH later this year with KH: The Final Mix which will basically be the exact same thing we are getting in a couple of days.
The difference between the version released in March and this one? A few extra bosses... and quite a few surprises.

So in Japan this game is a top-seller... and from the sounds of it, it will be pretty close to a top-seller in the US too. That is if my ears are not deceiving me... go into any gaming store and ask about their pre-sales, most impressive in my area at least.

Highlight what in silver? I didn't see anything. Let me see if I can do it.

Welcome, wearied travellers, to the great big universe of X-S. I am SIR, that's SIR for Simulatred Intellgence Robotics. Come up to the lab, and see what's on the slab. I see you shiver, with antici........pation.

 

[Toonfinder]

orignally I was going to have the text in white/silver back it still showed up rather well against the background...

so do people really care about this being a spoiler to the end of the game? if not then I'll post it up... if there are issues than just PM me or something...

Yeah they are still gonna build consoles its just that the Gamecube is their last system for awhile. But i think your idea is pretty cool .Ya know Sega and Nintendo had announced that they were doing a joint project together.Maybe its something like that.

If they cobined the Sega/Nintendo characters, it would most likely be in the form of another Smash Brothers game. Sega and Square don't get along and combining Sega/Nintendo/Square would be too many hands in the cookie jar.

As for the Nintendo/Sega team-up game, it's for a newF-Zero game and the Tri-force arcade board.

There will most likey be a Kingdom Hearts 2 - but don't expect anything until at least 2004-05 since the KH team is working on other projects at the moment. The current rumour is that they are talking to Pixar about including some of their properties into the game.

 

[Toonfinder]

I had heard that the Pixar characters were being eyed for Kiungdom Hearts but due to contractual issues they were not included at this point in time but yes, they were being eyed again for a sequel.

So what's up next for Squaresoft? I am hearing something about FF XII already but not seeing anything... could this be the next big thing for them? Or does it have something to do with a somewhat recent acquisition of another gaming company by Square?

Well, FF XII is the next big thing for them in Japan, there's also FFXI here in the states. There is also FF: Crysal Cronicle - the GC FF.

As for after that - there's no telling. From everything I've read and been told they are just working on 'other projects'. Tetsuya Nomura, the producer/character designer of KH, says that he's working on character designs for another projects right now so don't expect to hear anything regarding KH2 until at least '04. He says he does want to do another one and that Disney wouldn't make another one without him.
