Baten Kaitos Origins, released in Japan as Baten Kaitos II, is a 2006 role-playing video game developed by Monolith Soft and Tri-Crescendo and published by Nintendo for the GameCube. It was released in February 2006 in Japan, and in North America in September 2006. It is a prequel to Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean (2003). Similar to the first entry, the player assume the role of a "guardian spirit" – an unseen player avatar – who guides protagonist Sagi and his party of companions in an adventure across an aerial floating island-based kingdom in the clouds. The game retains the original's focus around the concept of "Magnus" – magical cards that capture the "essence" of items found in the in-game world, where the concept is still used as a plot device, for in-game item management, and as a basis for the card-themed battle system, albeit with minor tweaks. A remaster was released with its predecessor as Baten Kaitos I & II HD Remaster for the Nintendo Switch on September 15, 2023 and on Windows through Steam on June 18, 2024 by series owner Bandai Namco Entertainment under license from Nintendo.
