The 1994 Square role-playing game Live A Live has, until now, never seen release outside of Japan. It initially launched for the Super Famicom on September 24, 1994, and has never seen a remake, although it did make its way to the Wii U in Japan. However, during a Nintendo Direct livestream on February 9, 2022, Nintendo surprised fans by announcing the release of a Nintendo Switch remaster of Live A Live, debuting for the first time in both Japanese and English.

Live A Live is split into multiple scenarios taking place across different time periods including prehistory, the Wild West, feudal Japan, and the future. Each scenario features a different protagonist with a unique playstyle, although combat remained primarily turn-based throughout each segment. Characters range from a young caveman to a martial arts master training his pupils to a mysterious gunslinger.
 
I've heard it's a really good game. Great that we're seeing the cream of the crop of Japanese exclusives coming to the Switch, translated of course. I might like that the combat changes depending on the character as well.
 
Live A Live remastered version should go viral and not get stuck at Japan. It's been a while for the video game since it first launched in 1994.
