Dear Reader:
Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory co-director on why the game is coming to Switch, says Tetsuya Nomura is very interested in the platform
Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory is making its way to Switch later this year, marking the first time that the series is coming to the platform. Why did Square-Enix think Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory was a good fit for Switch? Masanobu Suzui, co-director for the game, explained in an interview with NTower.
First of all, the Nintendo Switch is just a really nice console and Nomura-san as well is very interested in the Nintendo Switch as a console. It is also a really popular console worldwide at the moment and so it is really loved by a lot of people. So we were thinking that we really wanted to include it as a platform from the very beginning of development. And because obviously, it's got such a wide base; that's one of the reasons why we thought about including this friend battle royale mode. And since it is obviously a new console for us, we wanted to try and bring the music of Disney and Shimomura-san to as many people as possible and to those new people out there as well. So we really hope it will reach them.
