Last week we got a release date for Forever Entertainment's Front Mission 1st: Remake, a remake of the original Super Famicom Front Mission game. And following a gameplay reveal on Thursday, the developer has revealed that you'll be able to choose between 'Classic' and 'Modern' modes, which will keep both newcomers and fans happy (thanks, Siliconera!).
In the brief clip, shared on Twitter, Forever Entertainment has compared the two modes to one another. Classic mode is closer to the old-school style of the original release, with a fixed orthogonal camera and the original soundtrack. Modern mode, however, gives you a remastered soundtrack, a different camera angle (with the ability to change the camera angle), and brings in other fixes and tweaks.
The differences are pretty minor on the surface, though we love the old-school look of classic mode, and it reminds us of playing SRPGs way back in the '90s but with slightly more modern visuals. Take a look for yourselves!
So far, it looks like the classic soundtrack and modern soundtrack are locked to their respective modes, but we'll keep an eye out in case that changes!
Front Mission 1st: Remake launches on Switch eShop on 30th November, just in case your month wasn't packed enough!

I want physical releases!
Oh been a while since I heard this game's name.
I probably won't get it but maybe looking at some gameplay will change my mind.
I’ll stick with the DS version, so far doesn’t look good enough to warrant the price tag.
Never got to finish the game back on the SNES, so this is definitely going to the wishlist. Might need a decent sale on it though.
hmm... i have the ds version of the game. Would have hoped for a sequel or new game.
I really want to play this, but on PC
@RCGamer It’ll probably happen given it’s SquareEnix and most of Forever’s work in recent years has gotten PC ports.
@Poco_Lypso They’ll be doing 2 and 3 after this one, in case you missed the announcement.
@masterLEON indeed missed it - where did they say that? interesting... edit: nvm! found it! eshop only though... good thing I finally bought an sd card this year...
