I’ve done it again, folks. Loose-mouthed Evaluation Committee (via) Kudamatsu) have leaked the existence of a supposed PC port of the recently announced remasters of Baten Kaitos 1 and Baten Kaitos Origins. This means that these two classic GameCube JRPGs could join the Teapot Dome scandal and the Bella affair on the list of “what government agencies have tried.” and failed to hide. ”
The real surprise is that it was the South African rating commission, not South Korea, that did it. To be fair, I think the latter is busy having its base destroyed by angry fans of anime nudity. The ratings are available (as a downloadable spreadsheet). here. Notice the big “PC Game” tag next to the Baten Kaitos entry.
Baten Kaitos 1 & 2 HD Remaster are currently only announced for Nintendo Switch and are set to release on that platform on September 14th of this year. Barring any cheating or elaborate pranks by the South African rating board, the PC release would be the first time the series has been freed from the prison of the Nintendo console.

The remaster includes a number of quality-of-life changes to keep things a little smoother to suit the sensitive sensibilities of modern gamers. again, eShop description It is written that the stage is set in a world where people have chosen to “abandon the land and live in the sky”, and I would like to do that if possible.
If you ask me, that’s great news. I’ve never had the pleasure of playing his Baten Kaitos game, but I’ve heard people giggling about it while I’ve been online. The first game was released in his 2004 West (his 2005 in Europe) and his prequel Origins was released in his 2006, both to generally positive reviews. GameCube has been in the doldrums ever since, and his PC players like our Wes Fenron have been forced to resort to emulators like Dolphin to play games in the modern era. It would be nice to see them break free from the domination of a dead console generation.
