      If Sora really is in Smash, this reminds me of a flash animation I saw years ago on Newgrounds, starring Shadow the Hedgehog and Wario. The dialogue is as follows:
      Shadow: “If you think that’s bad, how do you think fans will react when Sonic The Hedgehog gets announced for Smash Bros. Brawl?”
      Wario: “I can only hear it go worse.”
      Fanboys: BOYCOTT NINTENDO FOR RUINING WHAT’S LEFT OF SONIC’S DECENCY!
      Wario: “But it CAN get worse if Sora from Kingdom Hearts was announced.”
      Fanboys: NINTENDO HAS GONE GAYBO EMO BY ADDING SORA!
      So, we’re finally there.

      Sora in Nintendo can only mean that Disney and Nintendo had to shake hands on some sort of agreement. Let’s push towards seeing more Disney and Nintendo collaboration, perhaps as Nintendo worlds in Kingdom Hearts, as a Disney movie based on a Nintendo game, and let’s see if Square Enix and Disney can cooperate and make Kingdom Hearts into a real movie! Wouldn’t that be so cool? It’s not going to happen unless fans think it’s a good idea, so let’s remember that our hearts will blend and step forward to realize this wish.

He buys into the Kingdom Hearts philosophy, but everyone shuts down his ideas off camera. His dream is to join Smash, but corporate corruption keeps telling him that he can only do what they tell him. He reaches out to the Smash characters, particularly Mario, but they don't take him seriously at first or don't think his company will ever let him. Eventually, by the end of the movie, everyone works hard to get Sora in Smash, and with the permission of his producer, his dream becomes realized and he gets to play in Smash at last. It could be a Disney/Pixar movie, be about the video game industry, particularly Kingdom Hearts and Smash, and lead to the explosive sale of Kingdom Hearts and Smash by complete strangers to the franchises.

The one word that rang true was "No matter how deep the darkness, there will always be a door to the light." I have played all the games ever since, now as a grown adult. Thank you, Kingdom Hearts!

      I love your comment but much more that you’re still here with us. I was also unhappy around that age, and KH was always a place to escape. Sora is like a friend who’s always there for you, and that’s been true even in adulthood. A few years ago a friend of mine died, and I remember one of the things that helped me get past the shock and back to my senses was to play KH2.5. As silly as it may sound, I just had to be with Sora, Donald and Goofy for a little while to help me get through it. That’s the real magic of KH. It’s like an invisible bond of hope that connects us all. I hope you’re doing well and just know, if the darkness in life ever creeps back in, Sora and the KH family will have your back ;)

    Happy 20th anniversary! It’s been so long ever since...you know what happened. Vanitas, I have a good feeling that hopefully you’ll change...for the better. Ventus And Roxas, again... I wanna thank both of you for helping me with my difficult situations. You 2 are the best! Keep on believing!
    Aqua, I’m so glad that you’re back in the Realm Of Light! Please, keep your light burning strong!
    Terra, watch over Aqua and Ventus. And please...don’t be too reckless!
    Naminé, Keep an eye on Kairi for me. You’ve been a great friend to Sora.
    Axel, Thank You For saving Sora during our second adventure! I’m ever grateful to your debt.
    Xion, I’m so happy that you’re back! I hope that we’ll have more adventures together again soon.
    Kairi, I promise that Sora will come back! Just...stay strong and keep on believing! Keep on fighting!
    Riku, Thank You ever so much for saving Sora from becoming a dark vessel! You’ve been truly...MIRACULOUS!
    Sora...I miss you so, so much! But I promise...that Riku and I will find you! You’ve always had been fighting by my side!
    You never gave up, your strength and courage are always growing stronger every day, even though you didn’t know it!
    Sora, you’re friends and I... love you! Happy anniversary, my prince.

      You know what’s more magic? The potential of Kingdom Hearts including Nintendo worlds, or of Disney and Nintendo being making some bomb products, like a Legend of Zelda anime on the Disney channel. I mean, we’ve seen the power of collaboration, so if we [peaceably] push towards Square Enix, Disney, and Nintendo deepening their bonds, we can see more of each other’s best in everything that the single one does. This, of course, is only if we agree to avert complacency and focus on what’s right.

    • @Benzufication
      @Benzufication 3 роки тому

      That’s probably because Kingdom Hearts wasn’t thought out in a day or even in the scope of a single game’s lifetime. Kingdom Hearts had to be written and developed after the fact, and they had to find a way to incorporate every old game’s plot in the introduction of every new game’s plot, even if that was to just find a way of making a plot up for the sake of making a new game. Either way, I love Kingdom Heart’s story, but too see it improved upon in a professional way (as from a writer’s standpoint, etc.) would be nice too. In my opinion, the characters, music, and story are what make Kingdom Hearts so special. I absolutely LOVE the simplicity of important concepts, such as light, darkness, friendship, and hearts. But I agree, the storyTELLING could use some work, but the story itself is intriguing and beautiful.

      Its not ab being grateful or ungrateful. Ill give you 3 reasons why your comment is just ignorant.
      1. The first 2 games are able to be ported and possibly easily sonce they were played on games 2 generations ago and had remasters.
      2. People got switch for its portability you cant play cloud games on the go unless you got blazing fast internet and 85% or more of switch players dont have that.
      3. We already saw how others games handled in cloud it was filled with lag and many other things.
      4. Just to add on comparing pc and switch cloud isnt the same as pc if you dont have good internet and dont want to play on the move you wouldnt have bought a pc. But most of the switches games dont require internet and the switch is meant to be played anywhere.

      @@OffTarget the point is not the wifi smart one the point is its suppose to be portable. You cant have portable games on a cloud server with right now. Also that the first 2 should have been ported. Also why even talk ab that game if your not using a switch lol. Go back to a pc channel.

      They ported them to Xbox and Epic Games, so there's no excuse here. They very well could've ported 1.5+2.5 and 2.8 if they put in an ounce of effort.
