Long-Awaited Final Fantasy Tactics Remaster Headlines Switch 1 and 2 Announcements at Sony State of Play – News

Alright, so picture this. Sony did their whole State of Play thing—same as they always do—but this time, they tossed a bone to the Nintendo crowd too. Can’t say I saw that coming. Anyway, if you’ve been waiting with bated breath, here’s the tea: Final Fantasy Tactics, yeah, that old gem from ’97 or ’98, depending on where you’re from, is getting the remastered treatment. They did this big reveal, and I gotta say, the nostalgia hits hard. It’s like diving headfirst into the Ivalice universe all over again. Remember Final Fantasy XII? Yeah, that place. Anyway, the juicy bit is that it’ll land on both the Switch and the mysterious Switch 2—which I bet half the world still questions if it’s real. But it is, folks. Square Enix spilled the deets themselves.

Now, shifting gears to something a little more… bloody. Digital Eclipse is gearing up to release the Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection. Think of it as a carnage buffet. This package bundles the first four Mortal Kombat games and even sprinkles in the “Ultimate” version of 3 for good measure. We’re talking both arcade and console flavors, so there’s something for everyone. Maybe they’ll throw in a few more games down the road. Who can say? I’m just here for the nostalgia trip.

And speaking of nostalgia, who’s ready to channel their inner spy? IO Interactive’s spinning up a James Bond game with this snazzy title, “007 First Light.” Got a nice ring to it, no? Fans will have to hang tight till 2026, but hey, patience is a virtue or whatever they say.

Oh! Before I completely lose track of my thoughts—golf fans, heads up! Come September 5, Everybody’s Golf Hot Shots hits the shelves. And wait for it… Pac-Man. Yeah, that hungry yellow dude from your childhood? He’s teeing off too. I swear, the only thing missing is a Power Pellet golf ball.

And just when you think it couldn’t get better: Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound. Set your calendars for July 31. The Game Kitchen and DotEmu are bringing it to the Switch, complete with tunes from the original NES masters—Keiji Yamagishi, Ryuichi Niita, and Kaori Nakabai. Yeah, let’s just say I’m a bit hyped. The music, the action… it’s about to get wild.

So there you have it. A mishmash of everything coming your way. Can’t help but wonder what the future holds. But, hey, I’d probably just get sidetracked again.
