'Kingdom Hearts' trilogy to arrive on Nintendo Switch on Feb. 10

If you've been waiting to play the Kingdom Hearts trilogy on the Nintendo Switch, your wait is almost over. Square Enix has announced that the three games, Kingdom Hearts - HD 1.5 + 2.5 ReMix, Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue, and Kingdom Hearts III, are coming to the console via cloud download starting February 10. It'll be priced at US$90 when it launches, but you can get a discount if you pre-order now for US$72. You can also opt to pick individual titles instead of the bundle. If you buy the all-in-one collection or just the Kingdom Hearts III version, you'll get the Advent Red Keyblade to use in the Kingdom Hearts III + Re Mind (DLC).

Since the game arrives as a cloud version, you will need a fast and stable internet connection to get a decent experience. As Engadget pointed out, it seems like a waste that the developer didn't remake the game to run directly on the Switch, given titles like Witcher 3 and the Assassin's Creed collection will run directly on the console. 

Garmin adds touchscreen, flashlight to Fenix 7 series

Garmin updates its premium multi-sport GPS watch to get a few new nifty features. The Fenix 7 adds a touchscreen, which should make it easier to navigate through. But as Engadget pointed out, the great outdoors tend to be tough on touchscreens. Garmin might have found a way for it to be usable, even on a smartwatch built for outdoor use.

The Fenix 7 is also getting a new multi-LED flashlight, which will come in handy when you're out camping or while on early morning or late night runs. It's not just a general-purpose light. The light can alternate between red and white as you run, matching your cadence, so it can signal or alert those around you of your presence.

TikTok users, have you taken the time to view Stories on the platform? Yes? No? I don't either. So, that might be why the social network is testing out a way to show Stories on your For You feed. Social media consultant Matt Navarra shares a few details about this experiment, showing a video of a Story appearing on the For You page with a blue Story tag at the top of the user name.

TikTok's Story is similar to how it works on other social networks. The post vanishes after 24 hours. As 9to5Mac pointed out, the company calls the feature Quick within the camera mode. But since TikTok is just testing the feature out now, we aren't sure if the company plans to make it available to everyone. We had seen it try a repost option last month, but that doesn't look like it's rolled out to all users yet.
