Yet another GameCube title rumored to be coming to Switch. This on top of the rumors of Metroid Prime Trilogy, Zelda: Wind Waker, Zelda: Twilight Princess, and F-Zero GX all being remastered or remade for the system. This is why Nintendo putting GameCube games on Nintendo Switch Online doesn’t seem likely when they could be released as new games, much like the Wii U library has been.
Now, however, sources have confirmed that the first Baten Kaitos game is getting a remake exclusively for the Nintendo Switch. eXputer has seen graphical evidence of the title under development but is unable to share any of it publicly at this moment in time.
Sources have also said that the release date for this remake is planned to be sometime in the summer of 2023 and that a reveal is possible during this year’s E3.
Moreover, the remake is in the works by the game’s original developer Monolith Studio — a Nintendo-owned company — right alongside Bandai Namco. Additionally, Nintendo is involved in the new remake and will work with the two developers to oversee the title’s development.
