Romancing Saga 2", which has a lot of enthusiastic fans among the "Saga" series, is not a remaster but a "full remake"! It is a masterpiece that allows you to weave your own unique story depending on the choices you make and how you progress, but it was also very difficult, so there were probably people who couldn't complete it back then. Depending on how you play the game, you may get stuck. I am looking forward to seeing how it will evolve in the full remake!

There are also a number of new releases that have begun to be distributed!
The "Nintendo Direct" was a massive broadcast that lasted more than 40 minutes, so there was really nothing to do but watch! The announcement of the release date for the HD-2D version of " Dragon Quest III: And to the Legend ", which had not been announced since the 35th anniversary of "Dragon Quest" in May 2021, was a hot topic on social networks right after the announcement! The latest "The Legend of Zelda: The Legend of Zelda: The Legend of Zelda: The Legend of Wisdom " is the latest in a long line of popular, puzzle-solving, look-down Zelda games, and in a sense, it is a true "Legend of Zelda" game, as Zelda, not Link, is playable in it! Many of these titles are not due out until the holiday season, so it's great to see that we're almost there! Some are already available, some are already available for pre-order, and some have limited editions and special offers! The limited editions in particular are in limited supply, so be sure to pre-order early! You can also check the Nintendo website to see what was announced in the "Nintendo Direct 2024.6.18"!
