Kingdom Hearts 3 Release Date Wii U Port? Fans Launch Online Petition
A new Kingdom Hearts 3 campaign has been started in an attempt to get Square Enix to port the upcoming PS4 and Xbox One video game to the Wii U, Examiner.com reports.
According to a report from Gaming Bolt on Feb. 16, an online petition was set up on Change.org in order to capture the attention of David Yang, Examiner.com also reports.
Kingdom Hearts 3's release date may be delayed by Final Fantasy XV-a Square Enix producer said the latter game is a priority.
"We can't give too much information but certainly looking at 'Final Fantasy XV,' it's not as if it's in competition with 'Kingdom Hearts III' for resources or anything like that," Yoshinori Kitase said during a recent interview, according to the site.
Kingdom Hearts 3 and Final Fantasy XV information, including possible release dates, is expected to be announced at the E3 2014 conference in June, Examiner.com reports.
Square Enix producer Yoshinori Kitase also disclosed to the site that the company is paying close attention to both games and that the development of one does not deter the other, Examiner also reports.
"We can't give too much information but certainly looking at Final Fantasy XV, it's not as if it's in competition with Kingdom Hearts 3 for resources or anything like that. It's quite far into development now and it is being given a very high priority within the company itself, but that doesn't mean Kingdom Hearts isn't," Kitase said during an interview, according to the site.
A Change.org petition for Kingdom Hearts 3 to be launched for the Wii U has surfaced, Gameranx.com reports - it remains unknown, however, if Square Enix will consider announcing a release date for the console.
"Among the petitions for multiplayer games to come to Wii U, perhaps the most prominent and well known is for Guilty Gear Xrd Sign.,"
"This one was started by Laer HeiseiRyuu and currently has 8,184 signatures. Other top contenders include Dead Rising 3, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, Soulcalibur II HD Online, Battlefield 4, and Minecraft."
