I came into the series when KH 2 was released. After playing it, I purchased the original and then went on to purchase and play Re:COM. I didn't have the chance to play a lot of the games as they were handheld releases. I did buy the remixes for the PS3 when they came out though. I'm a major fan of the series. One of the first online forums I ever joined was for Kingdom Hearts.
I've been on the edge of my seat for so many years, waiting on KH3. I knew it was coming but it's taken forever to get here. From the trailers I've seen though, it's definitely going to be worth the wait. Kingdom Hearts 3 is definitely going to be one of the biggest releases of the series. With new age graphics, enormous maps, and amazing new gameplay mechanics, this game has the potential for Game of the Year. Hopefully this year is that year.
