Square Enix has revealed Kingdom Hearts is finally on its way to current-era home consoles. In typical wacky naming fashion for the publisher, the bundle including HD remastered versions of Kingdom Hearts Final Mix, Kingdom Hearts - Re:Chain of Memories, and Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days will launch in 2013 under the banner of Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD Remix.
No stranger to re-releases, the Kingdom Hearts franchise will further update the PS2 re-release of Chain of Memories originally a GBA game to the PS3. Final Mix was a Japanese-exclusive re-release of the first game, which added new content found in the North American version of the game. Though the DS-exclusive 358/2 Days would probably see the most tweaking to get it to land on home consoles, speculation based on a Famitsu report is the PS3 release will only feature remade cutscenes from in the handheld title and not its gameplay.
Additionally, Square Enix revealed a browser-based, online social card game set within the Kingdom Hearts universe, according to the same Famitsu report.
Joystiq has a team in Japan for TGS 2012 which officially begins tomorrow and will look to have Square Enix explain exactly what the PS3 bundle includes and whether the company plans to bring it stateside.

**** yes! This is more than I would've hoped for too. I just thought we would've gotten a HD pack of Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2. I'm so hyped they're putting out the handheld games as well since I never got to play those ones.
I wonder how long till they announce the HD pack that includes Kingdom Hearts 2 and the rest of the handheld games.
