Baten Kaitos I & II HD Remaster review

System: Switch
Release date: September 14, 2023
Developer: Monolith Soft / tri-Crescendo / logicalbeat
Publisher: Bandai Namco


Those who knew of Monolith Soft before their rise to fame with Xenoblade Chronicles will no doubt know them for their work on Xenosaga instead. Few will have heard of Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean and its prequel Baten Kaitos Origins, two titles that were released in the early 2000s on the Gamecube and were generally well-received, but failed to make a lasting impact with sales, and were largely forgotten about beyond occasional rumors of a third game being in the works or canceled that would surface from time-to-time over the years. Baten Kaitos I & II HD Remaster brings these two games to the Switch with enhanced visuals and quality of life features, and while both games are a product of the times and beginning to show their age in places, they hold up remarkably well and are worth experiencing for any fans of Monolith Soft’s later titles.

Storyteller update

A new update just went out for Storyteller on Switch that includes some new content.

Free to all players, it includes all new themes, chapters, and a mischievous new character that will allow players to re-experience the game’s stories with a new twist. Other quality of life improvements and fixes are included as well.

Here’s the full rundown:

Minecraft Dungeons & Dragons

Original (3/28): Minecraft has another collaboration in the pipeline, as it was revealed today that the game is crossing over with Dungeons & Dragons with new DLC. The announcement was made during a D&D Direct presentation a few minutes ago.

The Dungeons & Dragons DLC will let players explore the Forgotten Realms as classic D&D character classes. Monsters like beholders, mimics, mindflayers, and gelatinous cubes are in as well. Some classic locations have been recreated, including Icewind Dale and Candlekeep, battling Beholders, Mimics, and more.
