Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergradewill make its way to the Nintendo Switch 2, but it might not be alone. In a Nintendo Creator’s Voice interview, series director Naoki Hamaguchi confirmed thatRemake Intergradewould come to Switch 2, something we already knew from an April announcement. It’s a line about four minutes into the video that has caught gamers’ attention: “And with the release of theFinal Fantasy VII Remakeseries on Switch 2, it would make me very happy if two generations connect and share a bond over the characters.”
Hamaguchi’s phrasing suggests thatFinal Fantasy VII Rebirthand thefinal entry in the seriesare not out of the realm of possibility for release on the Nintendo Switch 2 in the future. He said that porting the game to Nintendo Switch 2 is possible thanks to its upgraded specs. “We’d like players to feel the same excitement and surprise they felt playing the original game when they play the remake on Switch 2. With the power of Switch 2, we can now recreate Midgar with full specs.”
Final Fantasy VII Remake Integradeis an upgraded version of the PS4Final Fantasy VII Remakethat scales the graphics up for modern consoles and includes the Intermission DLC and the introduction of Yuffie as a character.
“The first video game system I ever played as a child was made by Nintendo, so to this day, I have a special fondness for Nintendo platforms,” Hamaguchi says. The firstFinal Fantasylaunched on the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1987 and remained on Nintendo consoles until 1997 with the launch of the originalFinal Fantasy VII.In a way, bringing the remake back to a Nintendo console brings the franchise full circle. Hamaguchi ends the interview by saying, “I have high hopes that we can build a strong partnership between Nintendo and theFinal Fantasybrand.”
