Confusing name aside, why is DDD getting the HD treatment instead of the other handheld KH?

Every handheld game that got the HD treatment is important to the main canon of the KH trilogy.

 

the others from KH1.5 and KH2.5 are just side stories that have no real bearing on your understanding of events in KH1, 2 and I assume 3. 

So the handheld games are not canon unles Square Enix decides to put them on a console? That seems unfair to the fans of the handheld, their games literaly don't matter to the main story unless they are brought to consoles.

And thats why they are reduced to cutscenes only in the collections. They were probably also more work than SE wnated to invest. 

Yes. Nomura said that he wanted 358/2 Days to be remade because it wasnt in 3D, and that he wanted to play it with analog sticks. When 1.5 was releasing, he said they didnt have time to remake it into a playable game(obviously because its on DS) so they settled for cutscenes. This applies to Re:Coded as well on why its not playable.

Just a side note: Nomura was hesitent on releasing Chain of Memories on GBA because he wanted the game to be in 3D, and that he thought KH wouldn't sell on handhelds(not important for this, but just stating what was said). As we already know, COM was later remade on PS2. Basically, Nomura loves 3D, and that all the Nintendo games would have ended up playable on Playstation if he had the time. lol

As for the article:

After 4 years of waiting(BBS FM released in 2011), we're finally getting BBS V2! WOOT! Nomura did say that he wanted to tell the story but he had no time. Now he does? lol
