Next Kingdom Hearts Game coming to Portables

"Square Enix's Tetsuya Nomura recently told Famitsu that the next installment in the Kingdom Hearts franchise won't be gracing consoles and won't even be Kingdom Hearts III. Instead, portable gaming enthusiasts look to be the ones who are lucking out, as he said the next title in the franchise will be another spin-off set to grace handheld platforms. "[It] would be hard to choose if to make the game for the PSP, NDS or the cell phone," he said, leaving us a bit puzzled in the statement's wake.

Why would it be a hard decision? For one, a spin-off title from the franchise already released on the GBA, so there is some familiarity with Nintendo's hardware on his side. Plus, the Nintendo DS is the hottest handheld on the market, so wouldn't it be in his company's best interest to bring it here? Sure, we can understand the difficulty of deciding between the DS and cell phones, but we really don't think the PSP is in the running much, unless it looks to be a graphically-heavy title."

Why would KH's main games come out strickly on sony's consoles. Then the spin-offs come out on Nintendo's portables. It doesn't make sense.

my lil' brother has the DS, but he's just 7:S

Well,I got a PSP,my little brother a DS,so it wouldn't be a problem for me.
Anyways,Tetsuya Nomura said once[a while ago] that he'll release the next Kingdom Hearts for both of them,PSP and DS. And that it'll be a story between Kingdom Hearts II and III. Just like they did with Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories. So,I'll expect it on both hand-helds.

ok

thx for informing

by the way;

PSP fanboys mention that their source of almost the same information, came from DCEmu:

http://www.pspfanboy.com/2007/05/01/...-it-go-to-psp/

"Kingdom Hearts Network has translated a recent issue of Famitsu. This particular issue is of interest because there is an interview with Square Enix's Tetsuya Nomura. In the interview, Nomura talks about the future of Kingdom Hearts: "The announcement time of a new KH project might be announced soon."

Of particular interest to PSP owners: "The multi-developing makes me want to put it on something else without thinking. If we follow this idea, it would be hard to choose if to make the game for the PSP, NDS or the cell phone."

Not the best translation, but I think we all get the idea. Kingdom Hearts on PSP could be the best team-up for PSP owners since Final Fantasy and Disney.
