Last week, we found out the 2017 3DS release The Alliance Alive was receiving a high-definition remaster in Japan this fall. The lovely folks over at Gematsu also informed us NIS America would be hosting a video presentation this week, where a western announcement was expected to be made.
Sure enough, The Alliance Alive HD Remastered has now been announced for North America and Europe. It will launch alongside the Japanese version this fall and be available in both digital and physical form. The limited edition physical release includes the game, hardcover, art book, soundtrack CD and collector's box for $64.99. If you live in the US, you can pre-order it right now from the NIS America Online Store.
Alongside this announcement was the official trailer:
Humanity has been shattered and enslaved by invading Daemons from another realm. To reclaim their home and free their people, an unlikely fellowship of heroes will band together to spark a fiery revolution. Explore various Daemon-controlled realms, awaken your inner strength in the heat of battle, and form alliances to amass a force strong enough to stand against the invading forces. Coming to Nintendo Switch in Fall 2019.

Will you be adding this to your Switch library? Did you play the original 3DS release? Tell us down in the comments.

Might buy this even though it's a bad game.
If only the soundtrack was as nice as the art. A game being ruined by its soundtrack is one of the greatest shames there is in my opinion.
A good game now in HD, too bad it's no longer a Nintendo platform exclusive game anymore as it's also coming to the PS4 and PC.
I like the art style. This could be very good.
I don't know if I'll pick this up, but I'd like to see more 3DS games get this treatment.
Already have the artbook/CD from the 3DS edition (Got it cheap for 19.99)
No need to play it again, but will wait for a Steam sale and get it on PC just to archive it in the collection.
Are you Switch port beggars happy? Not only did you lose one of the 3DS' last exclusives, this game is also losing it's Nintendo exclusive status. Thanks a lot!
Wow, the comments here are so negative about this release. I can’t wait to play it on Switch!!!
@retro_player_22 the ps4 needs games like this. It's like 5 years old and doesn't have a single good game.
I imported a physical copy from America for the 3DS. It’s still in my pile of shame, haven’t touched it once. One day, maybe. I did listen to the soundtrack CD that came with it though. That soundtrack is fantastic. A great mix of electronic sounds and strings. I loved that.
@TheAwesomeBowser who bloody cares. What's important is that we get to play the game with a proper resolution, and still portable.
Drop the console/platform war mentality, it's honestly unseemly.
The more people get to play great games, the better. That's all. Beyond having less basic dudebros, we Nintendo fans aren't really different from other console fans or pc fans. So chill out man.
In general looking forward to replaying it, it was a fun game. I also enjoyed the soundtrack, for what it's worth. Lots of people seem to dislike it, but eh, it clicked with me.
@TheAwesomeBowser You're right this port was created only because of people asking for more games, and was done against the will of the IP holders. Damn you, all powerful port beggars.
Come on, chill a bit. A company has the right to port their own games wherever they want.
@TheAwesomeBowser so what? more people will have the chance to play the game you care so much about.
Did they mention if there is anything new, gameplay-wise, or is it the very same game with improved graphics?
@retro_player_22 thank god
I wasn’t into the gameplay and since then I’ve been spoiled by games like Octopath Traveler, I think this would only come off as more dull and repetitive now.
@SonOfVon @neufel @Blizzia So basically, you're saying that originality is bad and that we should only be playing ports of games from 5-10 years ago. Sigh.
@TheAwesomeBowser I literally haven't said that.
Dude, you either want to start flamewars about nothing and that's kinda sad, or you need to chill out.
I said that a company porting its games and IPs to new consoles has nothing to do with port beggars and everything to do with that particular company financial prospects.
If you truly think the suits at Atlus said "man, we wanted to make a new game but I've seen 12 people on twitter ask for a port... better do what they tell us... man that sucks... but what can I do... port beggars already killed my brothers when I didn't port Persona 3 on the N-Gage... damn..." well... you're a funny guy.
I can't believe I've just replied to someone who post "So basically you're saying" + complete nonsense no one said.
I need to check my priorities.
@TheAwesomeBowser The only one who has written anything close to that is you. Putting words in my mouth won't change anything.
Take that chill pill, or maybe 40 of them. You seem to need it.
I got the soundtrack with the 3DS release. This time around I will just buy digital. It’s a great game.
@neufel @Blizzia Todd Howard once said, "I fear not the man who has released 10,000 games once, but I fear the man who has released one game 10,000 times." Let that sink in.
@TheAwesomeBowser Thank you for admitting you're only here for flamewars and aren't reading replies to your posts.
@neufel Please don't make false assumptions. I read both replies. If you don't want to continue this argument then I suggest you don't reply.
@TheAwesomeBowser Yeah you're right, if you think Blizzia or me thought this was an argument even though we both said multiple time "chill, dude", I probably should move on.
btw, chill, dude.
@TheAwesomeBowser I'll just tell you what I've already told you a few times: Bury yourself in chill pills.
Let them sink in.
@neufel @Blizzia I thought I told you to move on, yet you continue this argument. For the love of Mario, just move on!
@TheAwesomeBowser At this point I'm just enjoying myself watching you squirm. How's the chill pill bath? Looks like you might have mistakenly grabbed the tryhard pills.
@Blizzia I'm not gonna fight it at this point.
@TheAwesomeBowser Good. Let thyself be cleansed.
@Blizzia Indeed.
@TheAwesomeBowser I can't believe someone can be as deluded as you. As if port beggars are a thing. Every console had people asking for games, every generation for every platform holder. It isn't any different for the Switch or any other system. And ports don't tie up any real development resources. Porting a game equals more games overall, it doesn't prevent any additional new games. Also, who gives a flying [removed] about 3DS exclusivity? It's a dead system that doesn't matter. Piss on it and leave it rotting on the side of the road. Who cares? Games are games. Shouldn't matter what system you play it on unless you're some 10 year old internet nerd trying to win e-points for your favorite system.
