Announcement of Kingdom Hearts games on the Nintendo Switch

mh:awesomegames:Kingdom Hearts, a video game series made by Disney and Square Enix that was originally released for the mh:awesomegames:PlayStation 2 has recently been announced in October 2021 after Sora's reveal in mh:awesomegames:Super Smash Bros. Ultimate on the mh:awesomegames:Nintendo Switch as cloud versions. It was released on the Switch on February 10, 2022 in time to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Kingdom Hearts.

The releases contain both Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 and 2.5 Remix, Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue and Kingdom Hearts III along with the ReMind DLC, under the title Kingdom Hearts Integrum Masterpiece Collection.

Reaction
Many fans of Kingdom Hearts have not been very happy about this announcement and have expressed their concerns over the release. This is controversial because all of the games require a good internet connection in order to play the games, or otherwise the game cannot be played properly at all, even the remasters of the first two Kingdom Hearts games when they could've easily been native ports.

It's also controversial due to how expensive all the games have been sold together, with a total price of $89.99 for the Kingdom Hearts Integrum Masterpiece collection. Many fans have expressed concerns about this to Square Enix on Twitter over the surrounding controversy.

The demos for the games have been heavily criticized for its limited amount of play time. It is 15 minutes for Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 and 2.5 Remix and 10 minutes for Kingdom Hearts 3 and Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue. The demos have also been criticized for only lasting 2 days in addition as well.
