Before the Switch’s combination of a portable and handheld… before the DS’s tounchscreen… even before the pea-green screen of a Game Boy… there were LCD handheld games. Popularized in the 70s and 80s, these early handheld devices offered crude graphics and even cruder gameplay mechanics.
And they’re coming back in Kingdom Hearts III… sort of. A new trailer for the upcoming action RPG introduces players to the “Classic Kingdom,” a series of minigames within Kingdom Hearts III inspired by the LCD handhelds of old.
Kingdom Hearts III is expected to be released for the PS4 and Xbox One sometime this year.
