It’s not long now until fans of the beloved Baten Kaitos 1 & II HD Remasters will be able to get their hands on both games in one package. Talking in a new interview, the games producer Koji Nakajima talked briefly about the lack of English voice acting in the Nintendo Switch exclusive. It all seems to boil down to the characters expressions, which the team tried to tinker with to match the current era and deiced against it due to technical issues. The interesting thing is that the originals did have an English dubbing, but itseems like it was more work than Bandai Namco has anticipated to make it work. Baten Kaitos I & II HD Remaster launches on Nintendo Switch on 14th September, 2023. Here’s what was said:
“In developing the remastered version, we tried to make adjustments on some of the expressions to match the current era. That’s why we made the difficult decision not to use English VOs for this remastered version, due to the discrepancies that will happen.”
