Another Switch 2 Launch Title Possibly Confirmed

Suikoden 1 and 2 HD Remaster will be part of the Nintendo Switch 2 launch game lineup, according to one newly emerged retailer listing. The same source suggests that the remaster bundle won’t be priced anywhere close to $80, which appears to be the new ceiling for some Switch 2 titles.

Following one significant delay, Suikoden 1 and 2 HD Remaster was released on March 6, 2025. The HD version of Konami’s 2006 compilation debuted on PC and the latest two generations of PlayStation and Xbox consoles, as well as the Switch.

Fans Are Roasting Nintendo Switch 2 Game Prices

Nintendo fans mock the company’s controversial pricing strategy for the Switch 2 games, arguing that it has ‘killed the hype’ for the console.

While the backward compatibility of the Switch 2 has already hinted at Suikoden 1 and 2 HD Remaster being playable on Nintendo’s upcoming console, it would appear that the Switch successor will also get its own version of the game. That’s according to one newly emerged Play-Asia product page, which states that a Switch 2 version of the Suikoden 1 and 2 HD Remaster is getting a physical release.

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

The game itself is listed as releasing on June 5, which would make it a Switch 2 launch title. Play-Asia is already accepting pre-orders for this technically unannounced version of Suikoden 1 and 2 HD Remaster, which is priced at $34.99. That puts it on the lower end of the Switch 2 game price spectrum, which has already stirred some controversy among fans due to some titles reaching as high as $79.99 for digital and $89.99 for physical releases.

Konami hasn’t yet officially announced a physical release for the Switch 2 version of Suikoden 1 and 2 HD Remaster. However, if Play-Asia’s newly shared listing is accurate, such an announcement is likely to emerge in a matter of days. As for the game itself, Suikoden 1 and 2 HD Remaster launched to widespread critical acclaim, as highlighted by its “Strong” rating on OpenCritic, derived from an average score of 83 and an 86% recommendation rate. The compilation was widely praised for being authentic to the original SRPGs while simultaneously treating them to effective visual updates.

In terms of other third-party titles, the Switch 2 launch lineup is already confirmed to include Cyberpunk 2077, Yakuza 0 Director’s Cut, Bravely Default Flying Fairy HD Remaster, and Survival Kids. Ditto for Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma, Split Fiction, Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade, and Street Fighter 6. Another third-party heavy-hitter is coming to the Switch 2 later this year in the form of Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition. However, the new version of FromSoftware’s hit ARPG is still waiting for a concrete release date.
