Following a recent artwork leak, Nintendo confirmed that Baiten Kaitos 1 and 2 HD Remaster are releasing this Summer for Nintendo Switch. Based on Monolith Soft’s classic GameCube RPGs, the remaster features Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean and Baten Kaitos Origins with HD visuals. Check out the trailer below.
In addition to improved visuals, there will also be “new features” that will help in progression. Expect further details in the coming months. Rumored back in February, Monolith Soft is developing the remaster while Bandai Namco – who owns the IP – is the co-developer.
Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean first launched in 2003 and has players guiding Kalas and friends. Combat relies on cards called Magnus which use the essence of items. Though acclaimed, it received criticism for its story and voice acting. Baten Kaitos Origins is a prequel and fared better in the localization, though it was never released in Europe.
