Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD Remaster Preorders Open for Nintendo Switch 2

Author:Kristen Update:May 24,2025

Get ready for an exciting journey as Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD Remaster is set to launch exclusively for the Nintendo Switch 2 on June 5, coinciding with the new console's debut. This highly anticipated remaster of the beloved 2012 Nintendo 3DS JRPG brings the game into the modern era with stunning HD graphics, an updated interface, and new features like fast-forwarding through gameplay sections. You can now pre-order this gem (check it out at Target), and dive into all the details below.

Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD Remaster

Launching on June 5, you can secure your copy of Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD Remaster for $39.99 at Best Buy. It's also available at GameStop for the same price, while Target and Walmart have yet to list it. The price might surprise you—positively so. However, it's worth noting that the physical version you're getting isn't a traditional game disk but rather a "game-key card," which we'll discuss further.

Note: This is a Game-Key Card

Some games for the Nintendo Switch 2 come in the form of game-key cards, and Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD Remaster is one of them. These cards resemble standard Switch 2 cartridges, but they don't contain the game data. Instead, you'll insert the card into your Switch 2 and download the 11GB game from the eShop. While you can lend or sell the physical card, remember that the card itself is required to play the game.

What is Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD Remaster?

Play

Originally released on the 3DS, Bravely Default offered a nostalgic RPG experience with its turn-based combat and a narrative focused on a group of heroes seeking four crystals. The core of the game is its innovative combat system, allowing players to store turns for multiple actions and a robust job system for customizing party abilities. The HD remaster retains all these beloved features and enhances the experience with the ability to fast-forward through battles and cutscenes. You can still tweak encounter rates to suit your playstyle, enjoy an online mode, and explore new minigames.
