'''Kingdom Hearts V Cast''' was an unofficial entry in the Kingdom Hearts game series made exclusively for the Verizon Wireless V Cast cellphone network. It was released in Japan on October 1, 2004 and in the United States on February 4, 2005. It was made by Disney Interactive and Superscape without Square-Enix thus making it non-canon in relation of the series. The V Cast network was disbanded in 2012 and caused the game to be unable to download from that point on and thus caused it to be lost. No dump of the game is known to exist on the internet.
A dump of the first chapter has been found by "Wedge" of the 4Chan ''Kingdom Hearts'' community during 2016 and has been uploaded to the internet.


Little is known about the game except that:
In 2020, Youtube user "KrZ One" managed to get the first chapter running (with some tweaks applied and still suffering from crashes) on the ''Zeebo'', a low-cost 2009 console, showcasing full gameplay.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/KingdomHearts/comments/f4it7k/breaking_news_the_youtube_channel_krz_one_have/ News posted on the Kingdom Hearts Reddit about the game.] Retrieved 26 Dec '20</ref>
*It takes place during the first Kingdom Hearts as a dream sequence
*Worlds included: Swordman's Island, Wonderland, Agrabah, and Maleficent's Fortress.
*Unique characters and bosses included: Swordman Parrot, the Caterpillar, and the cobra form of Jafar.


'''''UPDATE''''': On July 13th, 2016 Youtuber KHCentral uploaded a video stating that someone by the username "Wedge" on the 4Chan KH community ripped and uploaded the game's files to the internet, but also states no emulator has yet been made to support it.
Chapters 2, 3, and 4 are still lost.


'''''UPDATE''''': The files have been uploaded to MEGA, and the link can be found on: http://forums.khinsider.com/kingdom-hearts-general/211584-kingdom-hearts-v-cast-game-files-ripped.html

However, there is seemingly no emulator that can play it at the moment.
