The former PlayStation Vita exclusive and action RPG Freedom Wars Remastered is launching next week on the Switch eShop and if you're planning on downloading this one, you might be interested to know the file size.
According to Nintendo's official website, it will require around 4.6 GB of free space on your system. If you want a physical copy, the option right now is to import the Japanese release. This particular version of the game will also contain English language support.
Apart from the standard digital version, the Nintendo storefront is also offering a 'Contribution Edition' of the game. This comes with the game, a Contribution Boost Pack, and a Digital Art Book. This version will set you back $49.99 instead of the regular $39.99 (or your regional equivalent).
The remastered version of Freedom Wars will include updates and improvements including "adjusted game balance" and "difficulty options" as well as adjustments to "weapon crafting and upgrades". There are also enhanced graphics and high-resolution textures. You can learn more in our previous coverage.
Will you be revisiting this title on the Switch? Let us know in the comments.

Kinda unfortunate how non-existent Namco's advertising for this game has been. I forgot it was coming out Friday.
I want it but it's $80 Australian on Play Asia, so £40.
Never heard of it until now but will check out some gameplay videos later today.
@TheExile285 Usual Bamco.
Considering the not too big size and especially the Digital Art Book in the "Contribution Edition" which might not be available otherwise I'll most likely get it digitally instead of physically.
That said, glad that there's at least the Japanese physical release for those interested in importing it!
@Dirty_Croc All ya gotta do is either buy it from Playasia or eBay. Plus, the JP import physical copy supports english. That's it really.
I'm just personally not buying as I already played the heck out of the original Vita version. Plus, that particular one goes for cheap nowadays.
I was even aware of it being out already. Dang shame it didn't it didn't very much marketing/advertisment. Dunno if the OG Vita version ever did either since it's been a decade since then...so I probably don't remember.
I have it on Vita, but didn't play too much of it. I love the premise though.
Really looking forward to this, just hope my fond memories aren’t being affected by rose tinted glasses
.Got the physical edition on preorder a couple weeks back.
@TheExile285 Bamco is pretty weird. Outside of surefire hits they don't seem to advertise much. It's like they place all these oddity projects they do into the word of mouth basket and just expect it to thrive.
I have absolutely never heard of this game, usually a remaster is a generally popular game. Then I saw it was a vita game and that explains it, I don't know a single person that had a vita. I'll check out the review and see, but I am not buying anything else for a while and going through and beating everything I have.
Doesn't even seem to have a European release date yet. Nothing on the eShop. What is this the 2000s?
Ironically, Namco Europe decided to upload an overview trailer today lol:

Not surprising how small it is. This WAS a Vita game.
