Update: Well, GameCube followers, the Baten Kaitos remaster is actual, verified throughout today’s Nintendo Direct.
We reported on the dripped remaster previously, now a trailer has been shown (opens up in brand-new tab) along with a Summer 2023 launch home window. It’s likewise clear from the trailer that this is significantly a remaster and also not a remake, as the video footage revealed looks the same to the initial game – simply with a great HD gloss.
Baten Kaitos 1+2 HD Remaster is precisely what it seems like: touched-up variations of the 2003 GameCube RPG Baten Kaitos and also its follow up, Baton Kaitos 2, initially launched in 2006.
Original tale:
We’re all preparing for today’s Nintendo Direct live coverage, and also leakages are still dripping in. The most current report asserts that GameCube cult standard Baten Kaitos is obtaining the remaster therapy on Switch, renewing the two-part card RPG collection after about 17 years.
This report has actually been swirling for a couple of weeks currently, and also it capped today with the expose of alleged promotional artwork (opens up in brand-new tab) for a dual pack obviously called Baten Kaitos 1&2 HD Remaster. Assuming it’s actual, this remastered package would certainly include Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and also the Lost Ocean along with the innovator Baten Kaitos Origins, which is likewise practically a follow up. Perhaps I was as well extreme on Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel’s calling system.
Fans of the collection think the art looks official sufficient, and also a sensibly trustworthy mediator on the online forum ResetEra has vouched (opens up in brand-new tab) for the leakage’s credibility. If this does end up being a fancy phony inexplicably developed to torment minority Baten Kaitos followers still wishing the collection makes a return, it’s definitely a well-drawn counterfeit.
There’s no word on precisely when Baten Kaitos would certainly make this victorious return, yet this remaster is stated to be a Switch unique. That stated, today’s Nintendo Direct will certainly concentrate on games releasing in the very first fifty percent of 2023, so there’s an affordable possibility we will not need to wait all that lengthy to play it if it’s actual.
Baten Kaitos assessed rather well back in the mid-2000s and also located a dedicated follower base, though it never ever developed a huge adhering to. If you missed out on the collection in its prime time, think about it as a strange forerunner to several of the card combatants we understand today. It’s a turn-based JRPG where steps are stood for by cards; you compose and also attract via a deck of capabilities, pile and also combo cards with each other, and also job to out-maneuver opponents in each round. Outside this weird yet special battle, you’ll discover expedition and also questing not completely different to the Xenoblade collection that co-developer Monolith Soft would certainly take place to make.
Here’s one more Nintendo Direct leakage we really did not anticipate: a new Samba de Amigo game.
