Looks like game is coming to PC too, read from eurogamer:
the Film and Publication Board of South Africa has recently published its classified films and games for both April and May 2023, and included in these ratings is mention of the Baten Kaitos 1 and 2 HD Remaster for PC (thanks, Gematsu).
This listing suggests we'll see a release of Baten Kaitos on a platform outside of Nintendo for the first time - though for now, Bandai Namco still only lists the remasters for Nintendo Switch on its website.

Dev Interview from nintendoeverything:
In an interview with Nintendo Everything, Baten Kaitos I & II HD Remaster producer Koji Nakajmia spoke about the process of updating the GameCube graphics for Switch and challenges involved with the project.
Nakajmia told us that the main characters, battle backgrounds, and bosses were either “re-modeled or brushed up from the original models, and the towns and dungeons which are expressed in 2D, have been remade in a higher resolution so that they can be displayed beautifully on the Nintendo Switch while keeping the original art materials.” He also stressed that the team wanted to ensure that it did not “destroy the atmosphere and image of the original game. ”
Baten Kaitos I & II HD Remaster runs at a 16:9 aspect ratio rather than 4:3 of the originals. Nakajmia said the developers “had to make sure to fix issues to have the best experience possible for players.”
As for general challenges, first up was “to gather information and development assets from that time.” The team actually “searched both internally and externally with staff who knew about the development at that time and gathered everything we can.”
Nakajmia also shared the following with us:
