Cloud versions?! Didn't know that. I mean, KH3 I can understand, but the others. Nah it should have been physical. I mean it's PS2/PS3 games. Switch would have been fine.
I was thinking that too. I originally thought it was only 3. I get that. It can be done, but some developers don't want to put in the effort because they think they won't get a good return.
But cloud versions are just like eh. I'll pass. Better to have them in some form than not at all I suppose.
What a shame, cloud versions of PS2 games
"Kingdom Hearts Series Headed to Switch" Well yes, but actually no.
Paying full price to rent a game that will have input lag and require a constant online connection, ruining portable play. And once that server is cut off, goodbye forever. At least with digital download games you still have them. I can still play the WiiWare games I bought, even though the servers are down. This is like a long-term rental.
Either lazyness or incompetence from SE.
I mean, it could be worse. At least they're not Sephiroth versions. '-'
Cloud only
Sadge
I wonder how well cloud games work nowadays.
homie what? Cloud version? Man, get that shit goofy looking keywielder away from switch
I would've totally bought them on Switch for the ability to take the games from location to location if they weren't cloud versions
lazy lazy lazy square
Yikes
i refuse to support cloud version switch games its just being lazy
I'm still salty it's exclusive to EGS on PC lol. Would've been great to have the collection on Switch only for it to be the Cloud version.....
Fantastic!!! Congrats my Nintendo brethren. It's about damn time!
