As <a href="http://gematsu.com/2012/10/nomura-teases-kingdom-hearts-ii-hd">Gematsu</a> reports, following last month's announcement of <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/09/19/kingdom-hearts-1-5-hd-remix-announced-for-ps3-features-remaster/"><em>1.5 HD Remix</em></a>, Nomura admitted a second HD update for the <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/kingdom-hearts">Kingdom Hearts</a> series is probably going to happen.<br /><br />With <em>Kingdom Hearts</em>, <em>Chain of Memories</em>, and <em>358/2 Days</em> being bundled in <em>1.5 HD Remix</em>, we'd wager our limited edition Goofy figurine on a second update including the remaining major releases, namely <em>Kingdom Hearts II</em>, the PSP's <em>Birth by Sleep</em>, and the recent 3DS game <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/kingdom-hearts-3d-dream-drop-distance"><em>3D: Dream Drop Distance</em></a>.<br /><br />Nomura also dished a few more details on <em>1.5 HD Remix</em>. Rather than upscaling old character models, the update will simply feature those used in <em>Dream Drop Distance</em>. Also, the gameplay is being tweaked to be closer to <em>Kingdom Hearts II</em>'s - which should mean there's no need to fear the return of the first entry's temperamental camera.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/10/03/nomura-itd-be-unusual-if-kindgom-hearts-ii-hd-didnt-happen/">Nomura: 'It'd be unusual' if Kingdom Hearts II HD didn't happen</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Wed, 03 Oct 2012 18:30:00 EST.
