Summary

  • Suikoden 1 & 2 HD Remaster is set to launch with the Nintendo Switch 2 on June 5, 2025.
  • The remastered games faced delays but have since garnered positive reviews from fans.
  • The ricing for Suikoden 1 & 2 HD Remaster on Switch 2 is listed at $34.99, lower than other titles.

On the day Nintendo Switch 2 is launched, you can expect to find Suikoden 1 & 2 HD Remaster: Gate Rune and Dunan Unification Wars among the initial titles. These games are part of a legendary JRPG series from Konami, with the first game releasing way back in 1995. Over time, it gained a dedicated fanbase who consider it a cult classic. The second installment followed closely and is often praised as one of the greatest JRPGs ever made. This year saw the release of Suikoden 1 & 2 HD Remaster: Gate Rune and Dunan Unification Wars, which has continued the storyline with widespread acclaim.

Initially, I was all geared up for the updated versions of my favorite games to drop in 2023, but unfortunately, the Suikoden 1 & 2 HD Remaster faced some setbacks that moved their launch date back to 2025. Back then, Konami explained they needed a bit more time to polish these games up before unleashing them on the world. I know it was tough for many of us fans to wait, but from what I’ve seen so far, it looks like the remasters are living up to their legendary predecessors. Now, it appears that these classic titles might get another chance on the Nintendo Switch 2.

According to Gematsu’s latest report, the HD Remaster of Suikoden 1 & 2 is slated to debut on launch day alongside other titles for the eagerly awaited Nintendo Switch 2, which is set to hit stores on June 5. Interestingly, the Switch 2 version of this collection will be offered as a physical Game Key card in Asia, much like many third-party releases. This implies that players will have to download the whole game from the internet to play it. At this point, it remains unclear if the physical copy will be accessible in other regions.

Suikoden 1 & 2 HD Remaster Confirmed as Launch Day Title for the Switch 2

It’s unlikely that the news about the Switch 2 and its games will surprise those who have been keeping up with the latest developments. Notably, the Suikoden 1 & 2 HD Remaster has appeared on the Play-Asia product page with a release date of June 5th. Preorders are also available on other Japanese sites, strengthening the case for the legitimacy of the Play-Asia listing, which some speculated might be an error.

The HD Remaster of “Suikoden 1 & 2” is one of several games announced for release on the Switch 2, along with titles like “Mario Kart World”, “Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition”, and “Hogwarts Legacy”. Yet, the pricing of games on Nintendo’s new console version has ignited debate among many enthusiasts.

As a passionate gamer, I’ve just learned about the new pricing for the Nintendo Switch 2’s lineup, and it seems like some titles are going to see an increase. For instance, the upcoming “Mario Kart World” is set at $79.99, which is higher than most first-party games on the original console, such as “The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom,” priced at $69.99. However, there’s an exception to this trend with the “Suikoden 1 & 2 HD Remaster” listed at a budget-friendly $34.99, making it one of the more affordable games for the Nintendo Switch 2.
