Bravely Default HD Remaster Preorder Now Available for Nintendo Switch 2

The highly anticipated Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD Remaster is set to launch exclusively on the Nintendo Switch 2 on June 5, coinciding with the new console's release. This enhanced version of the beloved 2012 Nintendo 3DS title elevates the JRPG experience with stunning HD graphics, a refreshed user interface, and the convenience of fast-forwarding through gameplay sections. Preorders are currently open, and you can find more details below.

Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD Remaster

Priced at $39.99, you can secure your copy at Best Buy or GameStop. Interestingly, the physical version comes as a "game-key card" rather than a traditional game disk. This means the card itself does not contain the game data; instead, you'll need to insert it into your Nintendo Switch 2 to download the 11GB game from the eShop. Despite this, you can still lend or sell the physical card to others, who will then need to download the game in the same manner.

Note: This is a Game-Key Card

Some games for the Nintendo Switch 2 are distributed on cards that hold the full game data, while others, like Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD Remaster, function as a key to access the game data. These game-key cards resemble Switch 2 cartridges but require an internet connection to download the game from the eShop upon insertion into the console.

What is Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD Remaster?

Originally released on the 3DS, Bravely Default is a classic JRPG that features turn-based combat and follows a group of heroes on a quest to retrieve four crystals. The game's standout feature is its innovative combat system, which allows players to accumulate turns for executing multiple actions simultaneously. Additionally, the deep job system enables players to customize their party members with various abilities.

The HD remaster retains all these elements and introduces new features such as the ability to fast-forward through battles and cut scenes. Players can also adjust encounter rates to control the frequency of enemy encounters. The game includes an online mode and new minigames, enhancing the overall experience.
