Only the biggest fans of the Nintendo universe might dream of the return of Baten Kaitos, the short-lived JRPG series created by Monolith Soft with Tri-Crescendo when it was still part of Bandai Namco on the GameCube. But the Nintendo Switch has reversed the console role-playing trend, and once morest all odds, the old card game (called Magnus) is back.
Baten Kaitos 1 & 2 HD Remaster was one of the less unexpected surprises of February’s Nintendo Direct. Both the first installments in the series, Batenkaitos: Wings of Eternity and The Lost Sea, and the prequel, Batenkaitos Origins many years later, have been given a high-definition graphics makeover, making this journey through the clouds Islands are even more striking.
Remastered versions of Baten Kaitos 1 and 2 will be available in Summer 2023.
