Bandai Namco just surprise-dropped 2 classic Baten Kaitos RPGs on Steam

Eleven whole months ago, a South African ratings board indicated that the Baten Kaitos 1 & 2 HD Remaster collection existed for PC, despite 2023's Bandai Namco only announcing it for the Nintendo Switch. That's a long time for a PC release to be MIA with no other sign it exists, but all of a sudden, whammo, here we are—Baten Kaitos 1 & 2 are out on Steam right now, after being released on the Nintendo Switch last September.

If there's a way to release a game with less than zero fanfare, this might be it.
