The Live A Live Remake on the Nintendo Switch is already a blessing for Western fans. However, Japanese fans not only enjoyed the game three decades earlier, but they are also getting extra goodies with this new release. That is, they are afforded the chance to snag an exclusive board game with the game's special edition offering on the Square Enix store. If our memory serves us well, this is the first time Square Enix actually created a board game to be released alongside one of their video games.

The special edition is now up for pre-order for ¥22,000 or about $200. It contains the following goodies:

  • Switch Game
  • Structure Arts Buriki Daioh figure (requires assembly)
  • Live A Live HD-2D Remake Board Game
  • Original Soundtrack Collector’s Edition (2 CDs and a booklet)
  • Enamel Shoulder Bag

The game, which releases in July this year, has excited a lot of Square Enix fans. It's reminiscent of Octopath Traveler, another Square Enix title that received massive success, and we imagine a lot of fans crossing over between titles. It will be the first time the game will receive an English localization, and will actually feature in a 2D-HD remake that puts the game up to speed in terms of graphics.
