GameCube's Original Series Gets Remastered For Nintendo Switch

The Baten Kaitos series is one that started with its initial release in 2003 on the Nintendo GameCube. Now, Bandai Namco is bringing it back as they officially announced Baten Kaitos I & II HD Remaster for the Nintendo Switch!

Players will have the opportunity to discover or rediscover the emotional journeys of the series, which features distinct card-based RPG systems that allow for split-second decisions that edge participants closer to victory. Players will take the role of a Guardian Spirit and guide each game’s protagonist and their companions through their journey.

As a quick recap, the two games are:

  • BATEN KAITOS: ETERNAL WINGS AND THE LOST OCEAN which tells the story of Kalas who, while seeking revenge for the death of his brother and grandfather, meets Xelha as both embark on a journey to defeat the Alfard Empire.

  • BATEN KAITOS ORIGINS takes place 20 years before the events of the first game. The story involves Sagi, a spiriter who has a connection with Guardian Spirits and is part of the Dark Service, an elite unit of the Alfard Empire. Sagi sets on a journey to clear his name after being framed and unveiling the empire’s secrets. 

Baten Kaitos I & II HD Remaster is set to launch on September 14th for Nintendo Switch.
