Borderlands Collection: Pandora's Box Has Been Rated For Switch

I mean, it makes sense to have it now that Borderlands 3 is out. When it goes on sale, it can look like a tremendous value for newcomers.

If you can't even put all the games on a single cartridge then don't even bother making a physical edition. It disgust me.

Couldn't they just include multiple cartridges? Or is that sacrilegious?

@AussieMcBucket I’m sure it’ll be one cart that you download every game except for maybe borderlands 1 or 2 that is on cart.

I think the rough total across all games is about 83gb on the Switch, and I believe the largest current cart size is 64gb (and I don’t even know one game that uses that!) so no matter what not all games would fit on the cart regardless.

Still a great collection of games, currently having a blast on BL3 on a Moze playthrough. Next will be Fl4k then Zane. Did Amara on Xbox when the game originally launched, so saving her for last.

New Tales, trash

Are these games any good?

I never could get into borderlands. I tried, I really did.

After 1 and 2 I just accepted it was a bland looter shooter that tried to cover it up with zaney story telling.

@Spider-Kev I really, really disliked the series for a while, but just kind of turns out I was playing the wrong class. I am playing the Pre Sequel right now and a bit of 3 (mostly because of the crazy port, especially post-patch), and have been shocked at the gunplay. It feels really great and you are very empowered to use all of your abilities. I love the Pre Sequel especially. It's basically Mad Max on the Moon. Made by an Australian studio. Really cool game. 3 is great but I feel like it stops me to check out loot stats way too often. Still, lots of amazing moments. Just mute the dialog. It's "cringe," as the kids say. Grating irreverent murder junkie banter. If you're an ICP fan, maybe...

@LikelySatan first or third person?
Open world or segmented open world or clear path?
Skyrim/Breath of the wild or Witcher 3/Xenoblade Chronicles or Fable/legend of Kay?

@Spider-Kev First person. Segmented open world. Kingdoms of Amalur style, with open areas separated by loading screens. Not much emergent going on.

No thanks, since only 1/6 of it will be physical.

Cool. Will pick up eventually.

@nimnio I never died but one time in Diablo 3 on hard, and Borderlands does take some dexterity as opposed to "click on thing you want to die, see if your gear is better than their gear, repeat." The loot is my least favorite part of Borderlands, but I get that it's tonally fitting.

I may pick this up if they have multiple cartridges. I’ve already bought the borderland 1-2 prequel cartridge which has me downloading all but 1 of the games.

No point, got it all except 3, and I’m only really bothered about TTW now.

Already got Pandora's Box and Tiny Tina on PC with all DLC.

Playing it on my Lenovo Legion Go PC Handheld.

@Spider-Kev Western game tier, so it's not going past the 8/10 mark, but you can have fun with it. Story is a hot mess if you're playing an RPG for that.

That said, there are still better options in the FPS genre.

@fpcreator2000 @AussieMcBucket : There is zero need for multiple cartridges when Switch cartridges can virtually be as big or as small as they need to be. Publishers are already overwhelmingly ignoring 32GB cartridges in order to save money while screwing their customers.

BUT, if by multiple cartridges, you mean individual releases of the games? Then that's certainly preferable to a "bundle" with almost nothing on the cartridge.

I hope we eventually get Tiny Tina's Winderlands!

@CainTheConfused they are pretty dope honestly! Though the real fun comes from the hijinks that comes with playing with friends. But even without other players the games are still fun in single player

Tiny Tina is my fave. Sucks its not on switch

@Sisilly_G what games if any use the 32gb cartridge?

@partisan : Not an exhaustive list by any stretch, but the ones that spring to mind are...

• Dragon Quest Heroes I + II (Japan) [English support not included]
• Atelier Mysterious Trilogy (Asia)
• Final Fantasy X/X-II (Asia/Japan only) [Western release includes only the first game with the second game as a download code]
• The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
• Attack on Titan 2: Final Battle
• The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
• DOOM Eternal

I don't think there's much else beyond that (believe it or not) though there's a handful of Japanese exclusives including some SD Gundam game/compilation.

@Serpenterror But what if it's multiple cartridges in one package?

How sad and pathetic it is that there will likely never be a single game to use the 64gig cart.

BL3 still needs the damn FOV slider.

@vio : We don't even know if 64GB carts exist (or if Nintendo is even open to them) as almost nobody is using 32GB cartridges now.

@Sisilly_G Wasn't it confirmed that the 64gig carts were a thing? My memory can be a bit hazy, but I remember reading this way back when the Switch launched. Yet here we are nearly 7 years later and not a single 64gig cart has ever appeared. It's like this mysterious thing that only exists in legend and folklore LOL.

@vio : It was never confirmed, only speculated upon, allegedly by anonymous industry insiders. This very site reported on the possibility of 64GB cartridges way back in 2017, but no such release has ever materialised anywhere in the world (sadly).

And 32GB cartridges have been enigmatic enough as it is.

"You! One more step and it'll be your last! Ehehehe...You should've seen the look on your face!" TK Baha

Knowing 2K, it's going to require an additional download for those who buy the physical version.

@N-MCMXCIX That's what I'm saying.
