Followed by the already excellent remakes for Front Mission 1 and 2, the third game in the series will be getting the same treatment on Switch this June.
Front Mission 3 is the last of the original PlayStation games. I had hoped we’d see a remake of Front Mission Alternative, but it’s still great that the mainline releases have been remade in the first place.
Personally, I’ve really enjoyed the remakes of the first two Front Mission games on Switch. They are very faithful to the original games, despite the graphic overhaul, and can be quite a challenge.
The first two remakes have also received a lot of patches over the years, so the games are being supported in the backend, which is always reassuring.
As for this game, many regard Front Mission 3 as one of the best games in the series. I somewhat agree with that, but preferred some of the later PlayStation 2 instalments.
Whether we will get a remake of Front Mission 4 remains to be seen, but it would be interesting to see how it would be updated for modern hardware.

In any case, Front Mission 3: Remake will be released for the Switch on June 26.
