STAR WARS | Grand Collection Edition Stirs Controversy on Switch
Launch Discontent Amplifies
A growing chorus of fans is vocalizing displeasure over the Star Wars: Grand Collection Signature Edition for Nintendo Switch. Concerns about digital-only formats and high price points have sparked heated debates on forums, questioning the collection’s true value.
Collection Details: What's the Deal?
Discussion revolves around the collection's inclusion of classic titles. Many believe it may not feature all games on one cartridge, with one commenter stating, "Likely without a launcher though."
Participants have pointed out that a previous six-in-one pack of these games was recently on sale for just $20. One user remarked, “I believe Knights of the Old Republic 1 & 2 were download only and not on the cart though.”
Missing Titles Ignite Disappointment
The absence of popular games like Force Unleashed 2, Masters of Teräs Käsi, and notably, the KOTOR 2 restoration mod has frustrated players. A prominent comment from a fan captures this sentiment: “Shame that KOTOR 2 couldn’t get the restored content mod.”
Interestingly, discussions reveal that the KOTOR games still resonate with many players—"Of all these games, KOTOR 1 & 2 aged very well," one commenter noted, despite the aged graphics. However, concerns were raised about whether newer versions, like Star Wars Bounty Hunter, would be included.
Pricing Concerns Persist
The $90 price tag has many players questioning their purchase. Comments indicate players can find better deals, with some stating, "On PC it’s possible to secure all games for less than $20 total." A critical voice shared, "This is probably the worst value bundle I have ever seen."
Nostalgia vs. Modern Gaming Values
While nostalgia fuels some excitement, skepticism lingers. A sentiment echoed was, "Yea, but I’d stay clear of KOTOR 2 mainly because of the failed promises when they initially launched it." The expectation of modern enhancements in this collection has not been met for some, impacting attitudes toward its value.
Summary of Key Reactions
△ Fans express doubts about the digital-only nature of the collection.
▽ Many argue the $90 price is too steep, especially with other deals available.
※ "Most of them are on sale right now," pointed out one player mentioning existing alternatives.
The ongoing debate reveals how nostalgia can clash with modern expectations in gaming. As the release date approaches, questions remain about whether this collection can appease both long-time fans and newcomers alike.
