Nintendo Directs are usually full of RPGs, and while this might turn off some gamers, it's a way for the company to reclaim its former glory.
Can't stand boring ass games with garbage turn based combat, I think Worms was the only game type I enjoyed that had turn based combat.
During the February 2023 Nintendo Direct, developer Monolithsoft announced that Baten Kaitos I & II HD Remaster will launch for Nintendo Switch in the Summer of 2023.
Glad this turned out to be true. The art featured in the direct had leaked recently but I still wasn't sure if it was 100% legit. I missed out on the orginals. I skipped them based solely on the card system back then and when I realized my mistake years later as the games were actually good the prices shot up dramatically. Definitely picking this up.
I like how they hand pick rare expensive physical versions of these games and decide to make them digitally available. Not sure if it's out of giving those with thin pockets a chance to play the game they can't afford, or it's out of spite and greed. An attempt to kill the physical value while capitalizing on its rarity.
