Now, this game was released in 2004 and was ported to several consoles, with the game receiving an “HD Remaster” on PC a few years ago. Phantom Brave: The Hermuda Triangle Remastered - Nintendo Switch Direct Capture You, The Protagonist, Is Dead (And That’s Okay) Upon starting up the game, the player is immediately introduced to a jarring dissonance between its 3D backgrounds and 2D sprites. The Hermuda Triangle caption of Phantom Brave indicates that this is based on the complete edition that the PSP version featured, leaving players with a wealth of content. Unfortunately, it’s very “hit and miss” and the 17-year-old game shows its age in the worst way at times.Īfter an awkward blank screen loading sequence in which I thought the Switch froze on me, the player gets treated to a menu with several modes including the Wii and PSP exclusive “Another Marona” bonus chapter. NIS Classics Volume 1: Phantom Brave Phantom Brave: The Hermuda Triangle Remastered - Nintendo Switch Direct CaptureĮverything that I’ve said in the introduction was before I’ve inserted the game in the cartridge, much less opened the deluxe edition set, for I was actually excited to see what Phantom Brave would look like on the Switch. While earlier mentioned games such as La Pucelle and Rhapsody are up for discussion, there are other games including those exclusive to the PSP that can make their appearance. With players having the chance to experience two solid RPG titles, “Volume 1” indicates that more compilations are on the horizon, which features both Japan-exclusive games and PS2 exclusive titles.

The first game Phantom Brave is one of the more notable titles from the NIS catalog, released on both the PS2, PSP, and is quite a common game to find. The NIS Classics compilation seeks to remedy that issue by porting several of NIS’s iconic games to the Switch, opening up many doors for interested fans who wish to take a trip down memory lane. While many sequels and ports of Disgaea followed suit, NIS released many similar RPGs throughout the rest of the 2000s and into the 2010s, a majority of which remained in the PS2 era. It was due to the unexpected popularity of Disgaea with the Western market that NIS decided to port some of their other titles to English, including 2002’s La Pucelle Tactics which was released a year later in the US in 2004. While its first title released in the US was 1998’s Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure, the NIS as its Western audience would know it as wouldn’t kick off until 2003’s Disgaea: Hour of Darkness. This is celebrated with the NIS Classics Volume 1 collection on the Switch.
