>let’s turn this GBA spin off into a mandatory story important gameWhat the fuck was Nomura thinking? It’s been over 20 years and I’m still baffled at this decision. The rule always used to be that portable games were side stories or self contained events. Now you’re forced to have a PS2 and GBA in order to understand the Kingdom Hearts story.
>>12271915What is this clamshell GBA box is this some fanmade thing?
its on ps2 too
>>12271924It came out much later in 2008. So much so it’s not considered retro by the rules of this board
That's not as bad as that one game being cellphone exclusive
That would be a complaint I would have back then, as I was quite into KH. But I think it adds to the mystique of the game just wondering what the fuck happened. KH2 opened the door to retarded storytelling in the series to begin with so it's not like much was lost, and my imagination was definitely more interesting then whatever the fuck we got with both games.
>>12271915>The rule always used to be that portable games were side stories or self contained events.
>>12271917I bought a bunch of DS game cases from aliexpress and printed the covers. It has a slot for GBA carts as well. A lot of people did it back then, I assume OP's is one of the many custom covers people made, and I also printed that one with an art on the inside
>>12271941I didn’t like it when Metroid did it either but at least you’d be able to use a Super Gameboy to play Metroid 2 on a SNES and stay in the same ecosystem
>>12271941Metroid barely even has a story it doesn't even really matter. Kingdom hearts 2 is totally fucked due to how the story was set up and carried out
>>12271915>mandatoryit's notthe story is explained to you when you play 2
>>12271937Wasn't there a Flash game with massive plot details?
>>12271984It 100% is. Half of Organization 13 dies in Chain of Memories as their obsession with Sora specially
>>12272037Yeah but they wipe his memory of it having happened, so you're not supposed to know what happened so you can empathize with Sora's perspective.
>>12272138based Nomura making a game that you're supposed to never play
>>12271915>what was nomura thinkinghes an absolute fucking retard and always has been, why is this surprising
I can’t stand Organization XIII, they were the catalyst for shit like Time Jannies.
>>122719152 explains most of the important points anyway
>>12271930It also sucks on PS2.
>>12271964>caring about disneyshit storykwab
>art needs to be ignored if it's on a toy I don't own
>>12271917Some people put their loose GBA games in DS cases and print off custom covers from The Cover Project.When you image search for a game cover you'll most likely get TCP versions or an online store selling cases with pre-printed covers.
>>12272306The PS2 version is so boring. It's like replaying KH1 but worse.At least the GBA version had the novelty of being a somewhat impressive GBA game and seeing KH1 converted into 2D sprites was kind of cool.
>>12272345It's a fucking rpg dude, and Metroid is a lonely tunnel exploring game with no talking and one character. You a retard?
>>12272000Maybe, didn't look that much into it but I know there were a lot of Flash games like that
>>12272345DisneyKINO >>>> SISSYmura schizoshitCope. Sneedlate. And kneel.>>12272349
>>12272000There was a fucking one time concert with exclusive plot implications.Kingdom Hearts has always been, and always will be a fucking mess.
>>12272148It’s surprising that it happened at all. Kingdom Hearts is a showcase of the overly serious 2000s in its purist form. The mid 2000s in particular had a ton of these moments although most of them are not retro or non Vidya
>>12272138What are you talking about, Sora isn't even in the game after. It's some idiot kid named Roxas.
I dont mind chain of memories but KH really should have stuck to console games only. The handheld games only serve to bloat the story and most of them have terrible gameplay.
>>12271930Re:CoM is actually a 2007 game (it came bundled alongside 2FM in Japan). The North American release is from 2008.
so why couldn't they put what happened in CO back in his memories?
>>12271915Best selling Square-Enix title on the GBA btw
>>12271941You can literally get the whole summary II by playing Super Metroid Just like how you can just jump to Mystery since it sums up FE1
>>12272397>Disney Adults are this delusional Shitren lost to a Red Monkey btw
Why did Pluto lead Sora into a trap?
>>12271915They only made this so they can make TWEWY <-(should have been a GBA game award)
>>12272918Cod is best selling too
>>12271930That rule seems kinda outdatedIf we've accepted 6th gen for years now just fucking say everything on the PS2 is retro, who cares if some shit like FIFA 2014 slips through no one wants to talk about that anywayKeep the 2007 rule for PC sure but not like the console hardware has changedHOW MANY TIMES ARE YOU NIGGERJANNIES GONNA CHANGE THE CAPTCHA, IT DOESN'T WORK THERE'S ALREADY SPAMBOTS ON /GIF/
What's the problem?
>>12272709They did, the entire reason he was in hibernation was because Namine needed him in stasis to rebuild his memories. He doesn't fully awaken them until a good bit into the game when he remembers the events of Castle Oblivion.
>>12271930>So much so it’s not considered retro by the rules of this boardYes, it is considered retro like romhacks or home-brew for GBA are considered retro and permitted. 2007 rule is only for PC games, not for closed architecture consoles.J2me and Flash are kinda gray zone, but sometimes there thread or two for them.
>>12275332The MCU issue. No one wants a 12 episode streaming series to be mandatory homework before going into the latest movie.
>>12272546you played the game for 20 minutes
Everything I've heard about the story of these games makes me think that they selected the worst and most unbearable person to design the games
>>12271915>he cares about the "story" in his bideo games >he uses words like "canon" to explain which games are part of the "continuity">he makes autistic mspaint images of supposed "timelines" of his favorite bideo game series >he thinks this is all serious business and it is somehow ok to spend countless of hours thinking about it, engaging with it and arguing about it online with people who are probably mostly twelve year old kids
>>12277037More like 4 hours.
>>12277032I fucking hate the term 'MCU' for marvel. It will always mean microcontroller unit. Just like blm will always be bureau of land management.
>mfw someone plays Kingdom Hearts 1, 2, and 3 but they didn't play Chain of Memories, Dream Drop Distance, Birth By Sleep, 358/2 days, ReCoded, χ, the flash game, read the Ultimania books or Another Report, or see the concert.
I played that shite and got stuck at some door that needed a bunch of cards that refused to drop for a hour straight, what a piece of shit
>>12271915these are ‘people’ paid to make you run in circles and solve puzzles for a living, did you expect them to be ethical or care about your finances?
>>12271915>What the fuck was Nomura thinking?That is a GREAT question. I played through everything including the goddam mobage UX, and I STILL have no fucking clue what's going on.
>>12279381I had the same thing happen. Apparently that's not what you're supposed to do and there's a way to get through quickly. Idk maybe that's just some bullshit and I'm] misremembering. But it totally fucked the whole game up for me because I was done after that.
>>12279468Same. I can sit down and try to remember what happened in each game and then maybe peice something together. But off the top of my head I have no idea what's going on. Isn't that nomura guy just and artist and not a writer? I wonder how he came to be in charge. Maybe paying the animator to write the story was the Disney inspired way to do it or something
