I seriously doubt that the Wii will get a Disney/Square francise like KH.  The may get a spinoff, but not the sequel.

it isn't gonna be called Kingdom Hearts 3, Nomura has confirmed that it won't be called that because it is going to be a brand new series, expect a subtitle, and it isn't in development yet, once they finish FFXIII, they'll make the Kingdom Hearts game

Any reason for you to believe that? Simply because Disney supports Blu-Ray, and Disney is involved in Kingdom Hearts?

If that were the case, why are they making games for the Wii at all? Because they are. Not just ports (such as PotCarribbean) but exclusives, such as High School the Musical. And keep in mind that Disney doesn't even develop/produce the Kingdom Hearts games, as they do the High School Musical / Pirates games; they simply collaborate with Square Enix, who is the actual developer/producer. 

So, again:

1) Disney is not the developer or producer of this game

2) Disney clearly doesn't mind making games on the Wii anyway

IMHO, SE could move each to exclusives on each of the consoles.

DQX to 360, FF to PS3, KH3 to Wii.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

Big problem with this: DQ is enormous in Japan, unpopular in Europe and America. The 360 is very strong in Europe in America, unpopular in Japan. See the problem?

I totally agree that the 360 could see some serious Square support this generation, I just don't think that's the game they'd choose to do so with :p 

Kingdom Hearts makes more financial sense, as that franchise is bigger in America than in Japan, as is the 360.

DQX isnt really hard to figure out. The game ALWAYS goes to the console with the highest install base in Japan at the time that they start developing it. Always always always. The consoles were in their infancy for DQ9 so it went to DS. The games platform is very predictable.

I'm almost possitive that KH3 will be PS3 exclusive, not because of sqaure-enix, but because of Buena Vista Games (Disney).  With their company solely supporting blu-ray they may want to keep it on Sony's platform to support it. As for FF and DQ i think we'll be waiting a little longer for those. SE has enough projects on their hands.


I didn't even think about that until now, good point. I could imagine DQX following IX on the DS(has there been an outcry to bring this to consoles?) And FFXIV continuing on the PS. Though again with KH3, I think PS3 sales through the holiday season will play a big role.



DQX is the easiest. It's going to the Wii, no doubt about it.

FFXIV is the most difficult. You'd think it would have to go to the Wii since the Wii will be the only system alive in Japan and will lead everywhere else by lower margins. On the other hand Square can't seem to kick its graphics obsession. I don't think after FFXIII becomes the worst selling 3D FF game that Square will repeat its mistake of putting it only on the PS3 again. More likely I would think they will milk FFXIII a little more (more spinoffs for all systems) and then make FFXIV a first year game for the Super Wii.

Kingdom Hearts is the most interesting. It is the most casual game of the 3 so I would say odds favor a Wii exclusive. As for Disney, didn't they recently set up a game studio to specifically work on Wii/DS games? I may be mistaken but I thought I read before. The interesting part of this game is if it comes to the Wii, will it be traditional Kingdom Hearts or Mushroom Kingdom Hearts?  If Disney refuses to support the Wii because of bluray (which is odd, I'm sure I've seen Disney games on Nintendo systems before) then that augurs all the more for Mushroom Kingdom Hearts.
If I had to put money down I'd say DQX-Wii, FFXIV- Super Wii, KH - Wii but as MKH.



Well, the issue really is can devs get out of the graphics mindset. If they can't, then none of them will head to the Wii. If Devs can't figure out that all Wii games don't have to have motion controls, then none of them will come to the Wii. Too many devs are still stuck in the old way of doing things. Which is why you keep seeing companies push their 360/PS3 versions of games and ignore the other versions (Transformers: The Movie, Spiderman 3, Pirates of the Caribbean, etc.). So far, the only game that has bucked this trend has been the new Harry Potter game.

I don't know which versions will go where, but I'm not holding my breath for any of them going to the Wii.
