Front Mission 1st: Remake was announced during the February Nintendo Direct livestream. The Nintendo Switch exclusive developed by Forever Entertainment is scheduled for release on November 30th
Published by Square in 1995 and developed in collaboration with G-Craft, Front Mission originated on the Super Famicom console, featuring a music score by Yoko Shimomura and Noriko Matsueda. The first portable port of the turn-based strategy game, produced by Toshiro Tsuchida and Shinji Hashimoto, appeared on the WonderSwan Color console in Japan in 2002, featuring character illustrations by Yoshitaka Amano.
An enhanced port arrived on the Sony PlayStation console in Japan in 2003, with an added scenario by Tsuchida, centering on the USN soldier antagonists. Titled Front Mission 1st, the CD-based expanded port added original compositions by Hidenori Iwasaki, along with arrangements of the Super Famicom score. The first Western localization of the game appeared on the Nintendo DS, including the PS1 content.
