Kingdom Hearts is one of my all-time favorite video game franchises but Square Enix certainly didn’t make it easy for fans as the games comprising what is now referred to as the Dark Seeker Saga were released not only years apart, but on different consoles entirely. Eventually Square Enix made things easier by releasing packaged bundles that compiled various games in the series together. Now those bundles are finally making their way to Nintendo Switch, playable via the cloud on February 10.

Cloud versions of Kingdom Hearts 1.5 + 2.5 ReMIX, Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue and Kingdom Hearts III + ReMind (DLC) are all available for pre-order ahead of their launch. All three of these bundles together comprise the entire Dark Seeker Saga up until now. To make things a bit clearer, here’s every game that’s included in each title.

Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5 ReMIX Cloud Version ($31.99)

  • Kingdom Hearts Final Mix
  • Kingdom Hearts Re: Chain of Memories
  • Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days (HD remastered cinematics)
  • Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix
  • Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix
  • Kingdom Hearts Re: Coded (HD remastered cinematics)

Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue Cloud Version ($39.99)

  • Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance HD
  • Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage-
  • Kingdom Hearts X Back Cover (movie)

Kingdom Hearts III + ReMind (DLC) Cloud Version ($39.99)

  • Kingdom Hearts 3
  • ReMind DLC

Like I said, Square Enix definitely didn’t make it easy to follow the series if you played each game as they released, so thankfully they were able to package them in these bundles. If you definitely know you want to experience the complete Saga from beginning to end, you can purchase the Kingdom Hearts Integrum Masterpiece for Cloud. For $71.99, you’ll get all three bundles and be able to fully experience the joy and confusion that is Kingdom Hearts.

Kingdom Hearts will arrive for Nintendo Switch on February 10. Free demos for each are available on the Nintendo eShop, allowing you to explore each title twice for roughly 10 minutes each (about 15 minutes for Kingdom hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5 ReMIX).
