'''''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 not making it canon in relation to the main 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 was known to exist on the internet until 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 been made to support it. 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.
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. KHInsider user "Cbajd5" dumped and uploaded the third chapter in 2018. 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> In 2022, KHInsider users "Eriyu" and "kraze1984" dumped and uploaded the fourth chapter.

Kingdom Hearts: V Cast was an unofficial entry in the Kingdom Hearts game series made exclusively for the Verizon Wireless V Cast cellphone network.[1] It was released in Japan on October 1st, 2004, and in the United States on February 4th, 2005. The game was not developed by Square-Enix and instead was made by Disney Interactive and Superscape. The game is also not canon to the rest of the Kingdom Hearts series. In 2012, the V Cast network was disbanded, thus making the game unavailable to download.

KHInsider user "Cbajd5" dumped and uploaded the third chapter in 2018. 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.[2] In 2022, KHInsider users "Eriyu" and "kraze1984" dumped and uploaded the fourth chapter. In April 2022, KHInsider user "Scrooge McDuck" posted a full playthrough of the fourth chapter on YouTube. Chapter 2 is the only chapter to have not resurfaced.
