The Lunar Remastered Collection includes two of the best RPGS from the ’90s: Lunar Silver Star Story Complete (1996) and its sequel Lunar 2: Eternal Blue Complete (1999). The physical edition is for Nintendo Switch, PS4, and Xbox One, but you can play the cartridge/disc on current-gen consoles, too.
$44 (was $55) | Amazon Exclusive
Amazon sold out of the physical edition on launch day, and it remained difficult to find Lunar Remastered Collection in the US for months. We wouldn’t expect these deals to remain available for long–especially the Switch version, which has been the most popular of the three. It’s sold by the collection’s publisher GungHo Online Entertainment and is fulfilled by Amazon.
Lunar Remastered Collection has reversible cover art featuring both Lunar and Lunar 2 by series illustrator and anime artist Toshiyuki Kubooka.
Both games feature retouched graphics, enhanced audio, new English localizations, and gameplay tweaks like optional battle speed increases to make the classic RPGs more approachable and respectful of your time.
A digital version of the collection is also available for consoles and PC on Steam for $50.
This collection offers a great way to experience two of the most important RPGs from the 16-bit and 32-bit console eras. The original Lunar: Silver Star Story is considered a landmark title in the Japanese RPG lineage and was one of the first console RPGs to feature voice acting, animated cutscenes, and CD-quality music thanks to its original platform, the Sega CD. It was later remade for PS1 and Sega Saturn as Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete, which is the version included in the Lunar Remastered Collection. Its sequel, Lunar 2: Eternal Blue, also launched on PS1 and Saturn and built upon the gameplay and story presentation of the first game, featuring even more voiced dialogue and a larger cast.
Voice acting, cutscenes, and high-quality soundtracks are now common elements of video games, they were groundbreaking at the time–though the voice performances are now notorious for their uneven quality. However, the new Remastered Collection includes all-new English voice acting for both games–though the scripts for both remasters are based on the original localizations. Lunar Remastered Collection also includes the option to play with Japanese voice acting, and you can also swap between the new enhanced visuals or the PS1 visuals for both games.
