Long-Awaited Final Fantasy Tactics Remaster Headlines Switch 1 and 2 Announcements at Sony State of Play

Okay, so here we go — diving into the chaotic sea of gaming announcements that pinged around my brain like a pinball. Or was it a State of Play event? Maybe both. Anyway — ah, wait — let’s backtrack. Start with Argath, this dude just hates poor people more vividly than ever. Go figure.

So, Sony had this State of Play thing, right? And somehow, announcements for the Switch snuck in. No idea how, but somehow. Among the noise, there’s Final Fantasy Tactics popping up like a blast from the past. Remember the days of ‘97? Yeah, this isometric strategy thing set in Ivalice (that’s tied with Final Fantasy XII, for those digging into the deep lore) is tapping into our nostalgia.

And check this: they say it’s hitting the Switch and Switch 2 on September 30. Mark it, tattoo it, whatever – it’s coming. Honestly, I was just thinking about that dusty old PlayStation Tactics and now it’s back, swinging into Nintendo’s world for the first time. Wild, right?

But get this, there’s more. So, Mortal Kombat is like — let’s take it up a notch. Digital Eclipse is unleashing their goriest collection yet. We’re talking the OG Mortal Kombat games all bundled in one bloody Kollection set for 2025. Throwing in arcade and console versions, because, why not? Maybe they’ll pile on more for good measure.

Then there’s this thing about James Bond. They’re calling it “007 First Light.” Sounds pretty fancy, huh? Keep your gadgets ready because it’s waving its license around and aiming for a 2026 release on Switch 2, according to some April Direct whisper.

I almost forgot — whew, too many games, not enough time — there’s also everybody’s favorite pastime turned digital, Everybody’s Golf Hot Shots. Swinging in on September 5, y’know, with Pac-Man now trying his hand in golf. Just imagine those waka-waka sounds echoing across the green, it’s oddly satisfying.

Oh, and how could I not mention Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound? Game Kitchen and DotEmu are stirring things up real soon on July 31. News is that some legendary NES soundtrack creators, yep those OG maestros – Keiji Yamagishi, Ryuichi Niita, and Kaori Nakabai – are back to compose for this one. Their music is like, pure nostalgia with an edge. Echoes of those NES tunes still bounce around my head. Classic.

So, there you have it — a swirling vortex of gaming chaos. Who knew a simple event could unleash this eclectic mix of sounds and pixels? Life’s a game, folks. Or something like that.
