Donald's not done Xenoblade 3 yet and you're dropping two Monolith JRPGs at once?http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/62815/pair-of-baten-kaitos-rpgs-being-remastered-for-switch-in-summerThe last major series from MonolithSoft before their acquisition by Nintendo is coming to Switch in the summer.Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean (2003) and Baten Kaitos Origins (2006) will be remastered for Switch release this summer. The original was published by pre-Bandai Namco, but Origins and the remastered collection are published by Nintendo.The games are known for a card-based battle system and for the original setting the player as a "guardian spirit" rather than a party member.

All you uncultured swine (  ;) ) who played the 1st Baten Kaitos but didn't play the superior Baten Kaitos Origins have no excuse now.

**** Yes, this is exactly what I was hoping to see. Nintendo has historically refused to acknowledge their GameCube games, so this needed to happen. These are 2 exceptionally unique RPGs more people should play.

Adrock:
I’ve never seen Baten Kaitos Origins new or used in store before, and one of my best friends worked at Game Crazy then Play N Trade for like eight years. Since it never got re-released, I had resorted to other means to play it via the GC Loader for GameCube.

I kind of feel bad now so maybe I’ll snag this eventually.

broodwars:
According to a press release from Bandai Namco, these "remasters" will not contain the English dubs both games originally received...or any English language voice acting period. WTF? I know Baten Kaitos 1's voice acting was ****, but Origins had a great localization care of 8-4. What, did the chucklefucks at BN LOSE the original voice tracks or something?

Somewhere out there, a Monkey's paw curls a finger.

Well Nintendo has basically ran out of Wii U games to port so now it's time to raid the Gamecubes lineup of games less people played so they can basically advertise them as new games to the larger gaming audience.

Either way this is great news since I was always interested in both Baten Kaitos games but never got around to buying.  They came out in my late High School and Early College years were I just bought one game at a time and played that game as soon as I bought it.  So naturally I missed out on a lot of titles that way.

Now I'll these remasters and they'll go into my backlog and eventually be played in 2035.
