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?
