Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade arrives on Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox on PC on January 22, 2026. That's not all, the remake trilogy will also be making its way to Switch 2, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox on PC as well as PlayStation 5, Steam and Epic Games Store!

Not sure why Nintendo didn't even bother to mention this during  the Direct, lol. 

But if you want official confirmation there it is, FF7 Remake Part III in particular is a big get for Switch 2.

No idea why Square was stupidly playing the exclusive game to begin with. Glad they finally figured it out. I always hated waiting for the PC release of their games.

Remake and Rebirth are both very good. FF16 was utter trash.

Nintendo now holds most of the major Japanese 3rd party IP in their grasp for probably the first time since the Super NES era.

Final Fantasy mainline games
Resident Evil mainline games
Yakuza mainline games
Persona mainline games
Dragon Quest mainline games

They have all the major Japanese IP, I believe Nate also stated Metal Gear Solid Delta will be coming to Switch 2 and Street Fighter VI obviously is already there.

I think Capcom will port Monster Hunter Wilds too even if they have to really optimize the terrible state of the current game. The game is cratering sales wise and needs a boost, MH audience on the Switch ecosystem is obviously huge.  

True statement, but also an incredibly low bar...  third party support, especially japanese, was shit on the N64, GC, Wii, etc.  

If they had only announced Rebirth, I would have strongly assumed it'd get Part 3 as well.
It's not likely going to require much more than Rebirth did in order to run, given how it ran on base PS5.

Unless Part 3 is a PS6-generation only game, which I doubt.

But it's nice to have confirmation.

I assumed they felt confident that they could get the whole trilogy on Switch 2, since they ported Part 1 to it.
If they felt it would be a lost cause, I'm not sure we would have even seen Part 1 ported, since it would be a very very long wait until Switch 3 for the rest.

I think Final Fantasy 16 is coming to Switch 2 also. They basically have hinted at it already. For whatever that's worth. FF7 was the big get I wanted more than anything else though. 

Off the top of my head, the only major Japanese franchise they still lack is Tekken. Virtua Fighter is on its way to Switch 2 already. But Nintendo owns a 1.5% share of Bandai Namco and Kazuya is a guest fighter in Smash Ultimate, so that seems like a matter of time. One of the rumors (that didn't pan out) was that the "7" might refer to Soul Calibur 7 (it appears to have been for DQ7) instead. Tales is going to be represented by Xillia, and I imagine Arise will make it in time. Maybe the next Tales game will be day-and-date on Switch 2. 

Also bodes well for the next iteration of Smash, whatever that might turn out to be. Nintendo likely won't have any problems not only keeping the guest roster, but even adding onto it. Kazuma, Ichiban, Ryo, or Akira, for instance, could still show up, and maybe Leon, Jill, or Grace too. Wouldn't mind them bringing in some Falcom representation with Adol, Dogi, Van, or Estelle, too.

Remake Part 3 confirmed for multiplatform is the right decision.

Now I'm curious the specs for it on PC will be.

I might end up just waiting to play Part 3 later and then just re-play Part 1 and 2 on PS5 and get Part 3 on PS5 first.


Cause I really want to play the game at 4K 60 FPS minimum on PC. 

Yeah in this day and age, it was always a dumb move to make them exclusive. AAA games today are too expensive to lock to just one platform.

More people will have access to them now, and Square will sell more copies, win-win.

Good !
Now, waiting for them to eventually announce the release of a whole collection instead of buying them in piece meal
