Bandai Namco have released the BATEN KAITOS I & II HD REMASTER on the Nintendo Switch. These two classic titles now have remastered graphics and newly added accessibility features.
You can find both games over in the Nintendo eShop.
The BATEN KAITOS™ series features distinct card-based RPG play mechanics that allow for split-second decisions that edge participants closer to victory. In each title, players will take the role of a Guardian Spirit and guide the protagonist and companions through unique adventures in each game:
BATEN KAITOS: ETERNAL WINGS AND THE LOST OCEAN tells the story of Kalas who, while seeking revenge for the death of his brother and grandfather, meets Xelha as they both embark on a journey to defeat the Alfard Empire. The game’s original soundtrack is available on Apple Music, Spotify, and YouTube Music here: https://nex-tone.link/btktW
BATEN KAITOS ORIGINS takes place 20 years before the events of the first game. The story involves Sagi, a “spiriter” that has a connection with Guardian Spirits who 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 to unveil the empire’s secrets.

BATEN KAITOS I & II HD REMASTER enhances the game play of the original games with new features. The remaster includes an “Instant KO” setting that will let players defeat the enemy in one single attack, a major increase to game and battle speeds, and a “No Encounters” setting that will let players avoid battles, along with additional new settings that support game progression.
