Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD Remaster is poised to launch exclusively on the Nintendo Switch 2 on June 5, aligning perfectly with the console's debut. This remastered version of the beloved 2012 Nintendo 3DS JRPG, Bravely Default: Flying Fairy, steps into the HD era with enhanced graphics, a refreshed user interface, and the convenience of fast-forwarding through sections, making it a must-have for fans and newcomers alike. Preorders are currently open, and you can secure your copy at various retailers such as Best Buy and GameStop, where it's priced at an attractive $39.99.

The price point is pleasantly surprising, especially considering the physical version comes as a "game-key card." This format means that instead of the game being directly on the disk, the card acts as a key to download the 11GB game from the eShop. While this might be a departure from traditional physical copies, the game-key card still allows you to lend or sell the game to others, as long as they use the card to access the game on their Switch 2.
Note: This is a Game-Key Card
Some games for the Nintendo Switch 2 come on cards that contain the full game data, but others, like this one, are game-key cards. These cards resemble Switch 2 cartridges but require you to download the game from the eShop after inserting the card into your console.
What is Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD Remaster?
Originally released on the 3DS, Bravely Default captured the hearts of RPG enthusiasts with its classic turn-based combat and a narrative centered around a group of heroes on a mission to retrieve four crystals. The game's innovative combat system, which allows players to save turns for multiple actions, along with a comprehensive job system for customizing character abilities, set it apart.
The HD remaster retains all these beloved features and adds enhancements such as the ability to fast-forward through battles and cutscenes. Players can also adjust encounter rates to tailor their gameplay experience, engage in an online mode, and enjoy new minigames, enhancing the overall gaming experience.
