Nintendo Pulls 2 Kingdom Hearts Cloud Demos From US and Japan eShops

5 articles · Updated · My Nintendo News · May 23
  • Nintendo has removed the Kingdom Hearts Cloud Version demos from the Switch eShop in the U.S. and Japan, a change users recently discovered on the storefront.
  • No official reason was given for the takedown, leaving the status of the cloud releases and any replacement plan unclear.
  • Online speculation has centered on Switch 2, with some fans reading the removals as a possible sign that native versions could be coming instead of cloud editions.
  • The move revives long-running criticism of Square Enix's cloud-only Switch release strategy, as players have pushed for native Kingdom Hearts ports for years.
As Kingdom Hearts ditches the cloud, will its Switch 2 debut be a full cartridge or a controversial download-only 'Game-Key Card'?
Is removing the demos a prelude to a fan-pleasing native port, or just another cut in the series’ history of removed content?
