And only a brisk 20ish years after it first released.
The Baten Kaitos 1 & 2 HD Remaster is currently only announced for the Nintendo Switch, and is set to release on that platform on September 14 this year. Unless South Africa's ratings board has got its wires crossed—or it's playing an elaborate prank—the release of a PC port will be the first time the series has been freed from its Nintendo console prison.
If you've got no idea what a"Baten Kaitos" is and are frankly unnerved by how I keep repeating it, here's a breakdown. They're JRPGs with a fast-paced combat system that sees you chain together card-based abilities to achieve combos and overcome your foes.
That's great news, if you ask me. I've never had the pleasure of playing a Baten Kaitos game, but I've heard people jaw about them for about as long as I've been online. The first game got its western release date in 2004 , while Origins—a prequel—came out in 2006, and were both generally well-liked. Since then, they've languished on GameCube, forcing PC players
turn to emulators like Dolphin to play them in the modern era. It'll be good to see them freed from the grasp of a dead console generation.Sign up to get the best content of the week, and great gaming deals, as picked by the editors.Receive email from us on behalf of our trusted partners or sponsors
