Nintendo Switch Physical Copy of Front Mission 1st Remake Now in the Philippines

Microids just launched the limited edition physical copy of Front Mission 1st Remake on the Nintendo Switch in the Philippines.

The physical copy contains a Nintendo Switch copy of the strategy RPG game, an exclusive lenticular, a printed game manual, and two lithographs. For those in the Philippines, Datablitz prices the limited edition of Front Mission 1st Remake at PHP 1.895. 

Here’s a quick description of the game.

Play as a member of the O.C.U. or U.C.S., customize your Wanzer, strategize and use your firepower as well as the terrain to gain an advantage over your opponent.

In the year 2090, the world's conflicts are fought using giant war machines called Wanzers. Huffman Island, the only place where the Oceania Cooperative Union (O.C.U.) and the Unified Continental States (U.C.S.) share a land border, is a hotbed of conflict.

An O.C.U. reconnaissance platoon led by Captain Royd Clive is assigned to investigate a U.C.S. munitions plant. They are ambushed by U.C.S. Wanzers, triggering a series of events that plunges the whole island into war.

Key features

  • Experience an adventure in a complex Geo-political universe and choose your side through two different campaigns.

  • Customize every part of your Wanzer, improve its firepower, defense, speed and gain combat efficiency.

  • Take into account your environment and develop the best possible strategy to quickly gain the upper hand over your opponent.

  • Enjoy the remake in full 3D with enhanced graphics and effects. Play in modern mode with new features or experience the original gameplay.

Front Mission 1st Remake’s release is pretty significant for fans of the series as the original game never received an official Western release until they released the game on the Nintendo DS in 2007, so this classic isn’t so readily available until Front Mission 1st Remake was released digitally first on the Switch on November 2022. For those in other regions, check on your local retail store.

In terms of content, this version of the game follows the Nintendo DS port so any balanced changes done since then apply in the remake.
