Are we sure this is a Switch exclusive? I mean that would make sense, but just in case...

They bought them the year after!

....I think Nintendo owned them when Origins came out though.

For some reason you can't preorder.

It also says tomorrow's release date is "estimated".

Trying to remember what that game was like 1 or 2 years back on Playstation that just didn't come out when it was supposed to and they said "whoops sorry, we'll put it out next week." It released on the other platforms on time. Pretty sure it was an RPG...

Cold Steel 4? I think with that one, you had to wait if you pre-ordered it, but you could buy it normally as soon as it released.

It's been rated for PC but no official announcement yet. The portion of Nintendo's stock in this one does make it a bit weird but it seems pretty likely to be a timed exclusive.

Yes but then I've always been a Baten Kaitos apologist. You should keep in mind that these games (especially the first one) had a pretty mixed reception when it first released. Almost everyone thought Tales of Symphonia was better, to put things in perspective.

I think these versions have a couple improvements that fix some of the key weaknesses of the originals.

Hmmmm maybe, I feel like it was something lower profile but it's so hazy in my mind. I seem to rememeber it specifically got delayed for Playstation cert reasons.

I don't expect there to be, like, performance issues....but Tales of Symphonia HD did happen just last year. Really it's just a mattered of preferred platform so as long as it doesn't have problems I don't mind getting it on Switch.

I thought Baten Kaitos was better! Or at least the story was.

I do remember thinking the gameplay starts off awesome but the battles become too long in the late game.

Honestly I think Baten Kaitos would have been better received if it didn't have a hilarious dub.

And from what I understand this release has no dub, so...!

The translation itself was fine AFAIK and the VA-work was decent for early 2000s, but the recordings had weird audio issues and it wasn't clear if it was an intentional artistic choice or if they just fucked it up.

Mostly I remember people blasting it for having a card-based battle system because there were a few years when that was extremely pass. PSO3 got hammered by critics for the same reason.

Xelha and Lyude weren't great!

It was the actual poor recording quality that was the bigger problem, yeah. Like the VA work was coming out of your phone speaker.

They were decent games, but let's be honest, the reason they became somewhat notorious was because they were available on the Gamecube at a time when the console was starved for games like it. It will be interesting to revisit them and see if the reappraisal is positive or negative towards them.

Loved the first one, then the second ruined it with having a shared deck (as opposed to decks for each individual in the first). Then the stupid decision to have a very tough boss immediately after a save and disc change ended any interest I had in continuing.

God the Eshop is the surest sign that there's new hardware coming out.

Running like the end of life PS3 Shop.

Why is there an AI Generated Hentai Puzzle game right near the top of the upcoming releases??
