Any chance we'll be able to run backups of the Kingdom Hearts Cloud ports?

[Francesca]

The KH series, including KH3, will apparently become available via cloud streaming. https://kotaku.com/kingdom-hearts-trilogy-comes-to-switch-via-cloud-stream-1847800725

What is the probability we will ever be able to run them as "Homebrew backups"? No chance at all?

No chance at all?

Correct. The games won't run on Switch hardware as they are. That's why they are being run in the cloud. Not that the Switch isn't powerful enough to run the games, it's just that the devs are lazy and this is a cash-grab.

Fat chance

No chance in hell bud, it is cloud streaming, blame Tetsuya Nomura lol

 

[deathblade200]

absolutely no chance. as somebody who actually likes KH I hate how lazy they are with this cloud streaming shit. switch could handle all 3 games but they rather be able to Disney vault the games anytime they want

You have a better chance to buy PS4 version.

That would require dumping the entire game from the cloud and hoping it works on the system. Chances are, the Switch simply isn't powerful enough to play these games and is just acting as a screen for them instead of putting much processing power into making them work. So even if someone could somehow dump the entire game, it would most likely either not play at all or will play like complete shit.

First of all games on cloud are not even directly compatible with Switch, so your dumping and installing is out of question. They are running it on x86 servers while Switch is ARM. It's not even about the power.

I am not sure how any of that is different from what I literally said outside of additional clarification

You're better off buying it on PC and playing it on the Switch through Moonlight as "backups" will not play it as you need to connect 100% to the server.

Because you are saying "hoping", "if". We know how cloud works, so we don't need to play guessing stuff.

Get the roms legally somewhere then emulate them on your switch.

PS2 games on Switch? Good joke

 

[deathblade200]

Get the roms legally somewhere then emulate them on your switch.

you forgot to say at 15 FPS max. PS2 is notoriously known as one of the hardest consoles to emulate

With what emulator lol

Never. Get them on the PC or PS4/PS3.

Absolutely zero chance. Maybe less.

You don't seem to know what cloud gaming means for the Switch.
