Bioshock: The Collection, Borderlands: Legendary Collection, XCOM 2 Collection coming to Nintendo Switch on May 29
- Thread starter Taka
- Start date
The XBOX ONE version of Bioshock Collection came on 2 Blu-ray's but you question why download is required for a Switch Cart?
Download & MicroSD required for every game.
I'm gonna wait for the performance for XCom 2. If it's good, maybe I'll double dip - if it's compatible with PC savegames, it would be even better!
I've also never played Bioshock, so maybe it's finally time for that. We'll see on how the price is and if at least the first one is on the cartridge completely.

How would that work? Please explain how to fit 3 massive games on a single cart.
It's 2020. Digital is the future, carts/discs are already "beta" when they release and require patches and updates anyway. You rarely get the "full Game" on a cart.
Yep! Digital individual SKUS and bundled at retail. Eg. Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm, Bayonetta...
Absolutely do not buy Xcom 2 on Switch without previewing how it runs or something. That game is a technical shitshow on much more powerful consoles and they never bothered to fix it.
Oh! And it looks like this will be the case. Check out this search from the eshop... listing 2 SKUS. Handsome collection (2 + pre sequel) and BL1 GOTY. Prices not yet listed, this this likely confirms that they won't be DLC on one sku. I'd imagine it means you get a code for BL1 in the box? Perhaps Pre-Sequel is DLC for 2?
Taka could we threadmark this?
EDIT: Bioshock follows suit with 3 SKUS for 1, 2 and Infinite.
This should be the norm for every game - regardless of the dev and publisher.
That doesn't mean it's a download code. Could just be a big update stored off the crd
Nice selection of games that will be nice to have on the switch.
I just hope they have local wireless multiplayer too in addition to online.
There have been some weird omission on that part like Wolfenstein Younglbood that only supports online MP and not local.

I-..... WHAT? Sorry, let me just reread th- WHAT?
EDIT: I guess at least they can say "all the games are on cartridge" lmfao... where is this from?
So now we'll have Mutant Year Zero, Divinity Original Sin 2 and XCOM 2 on the Switch. Holy smokes. That's incredible.
XCOM 2 on PS4 is probably the buggiest, worst performing, crashiest game I've ever played. It's almost unbelievable that'd they sell it in the state it's in.
It'll be interesting to see how the game runs on the Switch, specially if the port is not handled by Blind Squirrel.

And worst of all...
So basically, physical demos with one-time use DLC codes to unlock the full game? Or perhaps just DLC.

All three games are on 2 blu-ray discs and almost 70GB on PS4, they are never going to put all of them into one game card.
I understand and wasn't expecting that. I was hoping they'd do what other games like RE have done, eg. put one full game on the cartridge and provide a download code for the others.
Oh you meant by that, yeah that's shitty. The XCOM 2 situation is even shittier but I assume it has to do with how XCOM 2 missions are played out randomly.
Oh, Borderlands is going to scratch the loot shooter itch so hard. My only concern is download size as I'm all digital, but I love that they're offering the games separately -- might just start from the first game and go from there.
So I dropped off the Bioshock train early on, despite being interested in it conceptually. Didn't people not like one of the games, or did I make that up? Anyone got a basic postmortem on the series?

Yeah and in Borderlands case, a 16gb card (which they're using for Bioshock) could have contained the full first game. Odd choice there,
We have 32 GB cards that exist and developers can actually invest in at this point. Bioshock games aren't massive, nor are the Borderlands games by any stretch of the imagination even with DLC, especially when they'll have less intensive textures and files in general due to being ported to a weaker system. It's just 2K being scummy as usual when it comes to their Switch releases.
