Lunar Remastered Collection Launches on Nintendo Switch with Enhanced Features and Classic JRPG Appeal

GungHo and Game Arts have officially released the Lunar Remastered Collection on Nintendo Switch, reviving two beloved Japanese RPG classics for a new generation of players.

Originally developed by Game Arts for the PlayStation 1, this collection celebrates the legacy of Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete and Lunar 2: Eternal Blue Complete by introducing modern enhancements across both titles. The Lunar Remastered Collection, now available in digital format via the Nintendo eShop and as an Amazon-exclusive physical edition, brings together these two acclaimed JRPGs under one comprehensive package.

The launch underscores GungHo’s commitment to preserving gaming history while updating it for today’s audience. Among the standout features is fully remastered English voiceover for all playable characters and enemies, allowing fans to experience these epic sagas with high-quality narration whether playing in Japanese or in the newly recorded English performances.

For the first time, players can also enjoy widescreen support, high-definition pixel art, and updated animated cutscenes, breathing fresh visual life into these timeless adventures. Game Arts has expanded accessibility by adding new subtitle language options, including French and German, in addition to Japanese and English.

This marks the first time the Lunar series is available to an even broader international audience on Nintendo Switch. Quality-of-life improvements have also been integrated throughout the collection.

Players can toggle between classic and remastered modes, enabling them to revisit the original PS1 experience with optional CRT filters or choose updated graphics and features.

Combat has been refined with a dynamic turn-based system that lets players adjust battle speed, customize allied CPU behavior, and utilize shared inventories among party members.

These strategic enhancements streamline gameplay, making every battle both nostalgic and more efficient. In a statement summarizing the collection’s intentions, GungHo emphasized their goal of "delivering a faithful yet revitalized JRPG experience with improved accessibility and modern quality-of-life features." The remaster allows longtime fans and newcomers alike to enjoy the legendary stories and innovative mechanics that set the Lunar series apart. The Lunar Remastered Collection represents an important milestone in the franchise’s history, affirming Game Arts' achievements in the JRPG genre and highlighting the Nintendo Switch’s position as a go-to platform for both classic and new role-playing games.

With its blend of nostalgia, enriched visuals, and player-driven enhancements, this release stands out as an essential addition to any JRPG library. The Lunar Remastered Collection is available now on Nintendo Switch.

The physical edition can be exclusively obtained through Amazon, and digital downloads are accessible via the Nintendo eShop.
