When it comes down to RPG titles for handheld console there is no doubt that Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories along with Dream Drop Distance were both enjoyable titles. Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories was very interesting due to the card based battle system which players found challenging as they progressed throughout the game itself. Also, the FMV cutscenes in Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories was impressive on the Game Boy Advance since there was not people who were expecting it during the time. Also, since it’s release Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories had managed to sell over 1.5 million copies worldwide.

In terms of graphics Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance was clearly a more superior game on the Nintendo 3DS than Chain of Memories was on the Game Boy Advance. The idea of having a normal hack and slash gameplay opposed to a card based system made Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories easier for people play than Chain of Memories. Also, the drop system was a pretty cool feature that allow players to switch roles between Sora and Riku throughout the game. Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance was one of the hottest titles for the Nintendo 3DS in 2012 and reportedly managed to sell at least 200K units in America alone during August of that year. In terms of which game was more successful is debatable but some might give the slight edge to Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories for the Game Boy Advance over 3D: Dream Drop Distance for the 3DS.
