Baten Kaito 1+2 HD comes out on September 14.

Really excited for this, I hope it has a lot of Quality of Life features though, but also it wouldn't bother me if it doesn't.

And there we go!
"In addition to stabilising the frame rate, "Baten Kaitos I & II HD Remaster” introduces new features such as encounters-off, auto-battle, skip cutscenes, and auto-save to make it even more accessible to new players." perfect.

Any recommendations on comfortable controllers? The Nitro Deck looks cool but possibly overkill and I don't really want to wait until September.

I'm interested in this too. The Nitro looks great but isn't shipping to the UK. Real shame, the snes coloured one look lovely.

The Binbok (lol) ones look ok, except for the dumb rgb poo poo. Having said that, all the review I've seen appear to be possibly unreliable youtube videos

From this site it looks like voice over is Japanese with subtitles available. No mention of English voice track that I could spot. Maybe that means it was redone?

The next Zelda incarnation should bring back all the people that have been in like one game and return them to the world. Subrosians, Minish, Loftwings, Yeti, Twili, etc. The little robot guys from Skyward Sword can go on a joint space mission with the Zonai constructs or something.

I don't think you understand, I am usually fine with Japanese voice acting, but here I specifically wanted to relive the Baten Kaitos 1 English VA.

When was the last direct, February? The big one with Metroid Prime Remaster and Pikmin 4 announcements?

Have their traditionally been directs around this time?

As I type this out, I realize that E3 isn't happening anymore, so is Nintendo doing something for that instead, or are the directs pretty much mini-E3s spread out through the year now?

I don't know much about Baten Kaitos, is the original English VA particularly good/bad/fun-bad? I was bummed to see it's not included but also not sure how much I'd get from a 2003 voice track as a first-time player.

BK1's voice acting is really bad but in an endearing way, it's all tinny ostensibly because you're a spirit not of their world, rather than directly being the protagonist and definitely not because the production was bad.

BK2's voice acting is genuinely very good and it's bullshit that they cut it.

The quality of the audio is bad because of that, but that's not the reason that the quality of the acting is laughably terrible.

The NSMB series was actually good outside of the DS titles which weren’t bad just painfully mediocre. I’m down with a new one if that’s what it is

Supposedly the remake is either Chrono Trigger or Super Mario RPG. Take this with a huge grain of salt.

Comedy option: they’re delisting the FF pixel remasters and replacing them with the earlier awful remakes

Right, what I mean to say is ports often have little extra bells and whistles to them, but it’s carrying over an existing game. A remake implies it’s all new from the ground up.

SMRPG has been one the last Nintendo games missing from SNES online. Square remaking it in HD-2D would be the dream.
