Famitsu's Readers Want Kingdom Hearts on PS3

Fans respond to questions about favorite game, character and scene.

Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep placed high in Famitsu's survey.

There's currently no indication that Square Enix is making Kingdom Hearts for PlayStation 3. But PS3 does seem to be the platform of choice for the series amongst readers of Japan's largest video game magazine, Weekly Famitsu.

In recent survey, whose results were posted in a Square Enix feature in this week's issue, the magazine asked readers of Famitsu.com to name the platform they want to see the next KH game on.

Here are the results. Multiple votes were allowed.

  • 1. PS3 (2,030 votes)
  • 2. PSP (1,010)
  • 3. PS Vita (990)
  • 4. 3DS (440)
  • 5. Wii U (270)

PS3 lead the way, doubling second place PSP. PS Vita and 3DS also played high. Newcomer Wii U also made it in above DS and Xbox 360 (Xbox 360 got 140 votes, by the way).

Joining the platform question, Famitsu asked its readers a number of questions about the Kingdom Hearts series. Here are some of the results that Sokuho@Hokanko summarized.

List the Kingdom Hearts Games You've Played

  • 1. Kingdom Hearts 2
  • 2. Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep
  • 3. Kingdom Hearts 1
  • 4. Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days
  • 5. Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix

Note: The results for the above question were close. KH2, at number 1, got 2,460 votes. KH2 Final Mix, at number 5, got 1,950 votes.

Favorite Kingdom Hearts Game

  • 1. Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix
  • 2. Kingdom Hearts 2
  • 3. Kingdom Hearts
  • 4. Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep

Note: If you add up KH2 and KH2 FM, they beat out KH three to one.

Favorite Element of Kingdom Hearts

  • 1. Story
  • 2. Battle
  • 3. Character

Favorite Character

  • 1. Sora
  • 2. Roxus
  • 3. Axel
  • 4. Aqua
  • 5. Tera

Favorite Scene

  • 1. Sora and Roxus fight
  • 2. Kingdom Hearts 1 ending
  • 3. Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep ending

Tetsuya Nomura shared some of his thoughts on the results. He'd heard that many liked the first Kingdom Hearts, so he was surprised to see KH2 and KH2FM in first and second for favorite entry in Famitsu's survey.

Nomura's personal most memorable scenes are the endings from KH1 and KH2, and the end of Roxus' summer vacation in KH2.

For Kingdom Hearts fans, Famitsu had more than just a survey this week. The magazine also got a few comments from Nomura on Kingdom Hearts 3D. For details, read this story.

So looks like Tetsuya Nomura has taken note of these results, obviously avoiding to comment on the platform results.

Here's what I think. A PS3 Kingdom Hearts won't ever happen. The only exception to this would be a PS3 remastered Birth By Sleep. But we are talking a new entry to the franchise. The reason for it is Versus XIII.

We already have a 3DS KH game coming and a PS Vita Kingdom Hearts game is bound to happen.

As for Kingdom Hearts III? It'll appear on next gen consoles.

Versus is precisely the reason why PS3 KH3 is most probable. They will have engine with KH like mechanics and they will be able to easily multiplatform it for Vita.

Everyone wants KH on PS3, except Soriku!!!

of course they want it on PS3 when the first two were on PS2. It really doesn't make sense otherwise

It will happen on 3DS and Vita or PS3 and Wii U.

Surprising that PS3 beat PSP...

Also funny to see how few votes the Wii had, despite it having the best userbase for KH...

Apparently not ;)

But who would want it on Wii if the U is on its way?

What? Where is the Wii listed? All I see is the Wii U on there at #5. They don't mention the original Wii.

As for the PS3 beating out the PSP. I'd imagine that some of the vote was split between people wanting it on the PSP vs. wanting on Vita. Adding up those two together would be 2,000 votes or roughly the same as the PS3.

Me since the games were revealed, the fanboys since E3."

The Wii wasn't listed. Which is my whole point. I've heard for Years on this site that the Wii is perfect for KH because of the userbase, it's just funny when things like this come out that goes 100% against it.

And the PS3 has more votes than PSP and Vita combined. Only just, but it did.
