The first collection includes the following:

  • KINGDOM HEARTS FINAL MIX – The action RPG that first introduced gamers to Sora and the worlds of KINGDOM HEARTS. It’s been enhanced with remastered HD visuals, improved controls, a remade soundtrack and more!
  • KINGDOM HEARTS Re:Chain of Memories – After the dramatic events of the first game, Sora, Donald and Goofy stumble into the mysterious Castle Oblivion and an adventure that threatens one of their most precious treasures – their memories.
