by

Summary

  • Suikoden 1 and 2 HD Remaster is seemingly getting a physical release for the Switch 2.
  • The new version of the compilation is reportedly launching on June 5, which would make it a Switch 2 launch title.

According to a recent listing from a retailer, it’s expected that the HD Remasters of Suikoden 1 and 2 will be included in the lineup of games available at the launch of the Nintendo Switch 2. Additionally, this source indicates that the price for this remaster bundle is unlikely to reach $80, which seems to be the maximum price point for certain Switch 2 titles.

After a notable postponement, the HD Remaster of Suikoden 1 and 2 was launched on March 6, 2025. The HD edition of Konami’s 2006 collection made its debut on PC and the most recent models of PlayStation and Xbox consoles, along with the Switch.

The suggested compatibility of the Switch 2 with Suikoden 1 and 2 HD Remaster suggests that the successor console will also have its own edition of the game, as per a recent Play-Asia product page, which indicates a physical release for the Suikoden 1 and 2 HD Remaster on the Switch 2.

Suikoden 1 and 2 HD Remaster Could Be One of the More Affordable Switch 2 Launch Games

The video game is scheduled to debut on June 5th, potentially making it a launch title for the Switch 2. Pre-orders are being accepted on Play-Asia for an unofficially announced version of the Suikoden 1 and 2 HD Remaster, priced at $34.99. This places it among the cheaper games in the Switch 2 library, sparking debate among fans due to some titles being priced as high as $79.99 for digital versions and $89.99 for physical ones.

It seems that Konami hasn’t publicly confirmed a physical release for the Switch 2 edition of the Suikoden 1 and 2 HD Remaster just yet, but if a recent listing on Play-Asia is correct, we might be hearing about it soon. The game, Suikoden 1 and 2 HD Remaster, was met with critical acclaim upon its release, as indicated by its “Strong” rating on OpenCritic, based on an average score of 83 and an 86% recommendation rate. Critics appreciated the game for staying true to the original strategy RPGs while also giving them a visual facelift.

For the launch lineup of the Switch 2, it has been confirmed that games such as Cyberpunk 2077, Yakuza 0 Director’s Cut, Bravely Default Flying Fairy HD Remaster, and Survival Kids will be available. Additionally, Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma, Split Fiction, Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade, and Street Fighter 6 are also included in the lineup. Another major third-party game, Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition from FromSoftware, is set to arrive on the Switch 2 later this year. However, a specific release date for Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition has yet to be announced.
