Does the Nintendo Switch physical version of Batman: Arkham Trilogy include all three games on one cartridge?
Batman: Arkham Asylum will be included on the Batman: Arkham Trilogy game cartridge. Batman: Arkham City and Batman: Arkham Knight will require an online connection to download and install both titles when the Batman: Arkham Trilogy cartridge is inserted into the Nintendo Switch console. All three games will then be playable as long as the cartridge is inserted into the Nintendo Switch console.
Yeah, that’s pretty usual for some of these Switch game collections. Asylum is the smallest so it gets on the game card (probably a 4GB one).
Still not as stupid as the Megaman Legacy Collection physical release, where they only included the first collection on the card which weighed in at about 500mb~.
Publishers will penny pinch any way they can.
What I enjoy about collecting physical games is just the experience of owning the physical copy and popping the cartridge into the Switch when I play, so this doesn’t super bother me. But I totally get the preservationist argument for having all the games on the cart (or across separate ones) and would prefer that.
I’m different. The appeal of owning the game on cartridge to me is to have the entire game on the cartridge. If any significant portion is downloadable only, I see no reason to not just download the whole thing.
I can understand your argument completely though. It just feels like a waste of material to me when the cartridge doesn’t carry the game(s) itself.
