We've gotten word that next week, all of the titles you see in the image above will be remastered into what we currently know as Kingdom Hearts: HD Remix or Kingdom Hearts: Remembrance. Our reoccurring source Geno, who had been the first to break news about the Castlevania Lord of Shadows sequel prior to anyone else, has informed us that a pending E3 announcement will involve Kingdom Hearts 1,2, Chain of Memories, 358/2 Days, and Birth By Sleep receiving HD upgrades and launching on PS3, Wii U, and PS VITA. According to Geno, not only will these Kingdom Hearts titles receive HD makeovers, they'll be supported with new side quests that'll tie up the plots of each game. The Wii U version in specific is said to make plot connections with Kingdom Hearts 3D (Dream Drop Distance), which has yet to release in America on 3DS. Although details are kinda slim, we expect Kingdom Hearts HD Remix/Remembrance to be revealed at Sony or Nintendo's E3 press conferences.
This honestly seems too good to be true, but we'll just have to wait for E3 to find out.

I think it's possible if this is a $60 HD collection and not $40 like most of them are, but the sticking point here is 358/2 Days because there's no real way to HDify that without completely redoing the game, unless they're content with it not being true HD.
Way too good to be true. Square hasn't even shown off FFXHD yet, but they'll all of a sudden give FIVE games, including one with N64 graphics, the HD treatment? BS.
Best case scenario, we get upscaled versions of Final Mix 1+2 and RE:CoM. Maybe BBS:FM as well. And if we're very, very lucky, they might do a new translation that closes a few plotholes along the way.
But five games, one of which would need to be entirely remade, and all with new content, bundled in one release? No chance.

"My name is Ezio Auditore da Firenze, and like my father before me, I am an accountant" Nothing is true. Everything is tax-deductible
If this is true I renounce all my disdain for the current state of Square Enix
I've played all the games including Final Mixes already, but getting it all as one package, in HD, with new content, would be... pretty much the best game compilation ever released.
Doubt it's true though. I mean we're bound to get a HD release of KH1+2, maybe including Re: CoM, but a full HD remake of Days and BbS might be too much to hope for.
