Frozenbyte has revealed that its super tasty 'Trine Series 1 - 3' bundle, which unsurprisingly contains all three previously-released Trine games, will be getting a physical release. The best news is that all three will be available on one cartridge - so no pesky downloads required!
Combining puzzle, platforming, and action gameplay set in a beautiful fantasy world, the Trine series has seen a number of releases across Nintendo platforms over the last few years. The original is actually already available on Switch now under the name Trine Enchanted Edition, and Trine 2: Director's Cut launched on Wii U back in 2012. The third entry, Trine 3: The Artifacts of Power, will come to a Nintendo platform for the first time with this release.
Those second and third instalments will be available as individual downloads, too, meaning you can pick and choose whichever titles you like from the series. You might remember that Trine 4 has also already been confirmed for a Switch release at a later date, so this would be a great chance to experience the whole collection.
The bundle is set to become available this spring, as you can see in the trailer above, and is available to pre-order today exclusively at GameStop stores and online for $39.99. Trine 2: Complete Story will launch digitally on Switch on 18th February for $16.99 / 16.99€ / £15.29.

Did you say cartridge? Did you hear that sound?
That's the sound of 90% of the site getting
raging bon@AlexSora89 yep. I'm part of that 90%
Just to be difficult, I just want a box with a download code inside.
small time dev manages to fit THREE games on one cart, square einx can't even fit one, shouldn't anyone be surprised?
this is a nice surprise for anyone who hasn't played any games from the series, can't wait for the 4th instalment.
Well, that sure is a nice surprise. And pretty decent that it's the complete bundle, without any extra download shenanigans.
Hats off to you, Frozenbyte crew!
@huyi They should finish the 3rd game before making a 4th one.
Hmm. I gotta say, Switch is a great system for anyone that has never owned another console within the last 8-10 years.
Gamestop??? Ah great, what about the rest of the world who dont live in the US and want a physical?
"Game Developer manages to fit it's games on a cartridge" shouldn't really be a headline, it's a bit sad...
-looking forward to the trilogy though, I enjoyed the first one on the Wii U
Man I hate Gamestop exclusive games...don't know if I really want these bad enough to warrant a retailer exclusive physical purchase. Especially since I got them dirt cheap on Steam.
Will probably be a pass from me. But I'm always happy to see more physical switch games.
@Beermonkey
Then calm down, you tripod!
@sikthvash
You like lynchings you're at the receiving end of, don't you.
I have them on the PC. They're good games.
@Bunkerneath Well at least it will probably be available with EB games, and whatever names that Game stop owns. So not just in the US. Hopefully.
@AlexSora89 Please deliver 'directly' to me. Don't forget the bananas.
If you don't succeed at first, Trine, Trine again. 🙂
Great news for physical gamers!!!!!!
Yeap I'm buying this, I need my Trine 2 on cartridge no matter what.
I just checked my Steam account
Trine Enchanted Edition - $2
Trine 2: Complete Story - $3
Trine 3: The Artifacts of Power - $6
Nop, I am good... like Years ago. I'll buy #4 - Let me know.
Nice maybe ill grab it now
@AlexSora89 I've never heard so nonsense. I...I...just can't stand up at the moment...
@GrailUK
Just breathe, relax, and calmly admit you got
@sikthvash
@misterMike Why do you think developers jumping over each other to dump them on Switch for $40 and $60.
But yeah lets pay extra as some misguided sign of loyalty to a gadget made in China.
I'll buy #4 on Switch. Not bought a single rehash port on Switch yet.
A shame they aren’t that great
@hihelloitsme Playstation 4 and especially Xbox 1 are far better for playing classic games re-released
Will be a must buy for me.
@AlexSora89 only 10 percent of this site is female? Ouch that feels like a low number.
I’m so glad that I waited to buy them... I’ll be getting this. Once again, the waiting game seems to be the best option for almost all indies...
@Ryu_Niiyama
That's oughta be one of the greatest counter-jokes I've ever been replied with. Mad props.
@AlexSora89 lol no problem. I got nervous for a sec you might have thought I was upset.
40 bucks actually isn't bad for all three of these games, even if the third entry is considered weak. I am looking forward to this, especially since it is physical.
@AlexSora89 I refuse to calm down. Who are you to dictate (or "dicktate" would be better) what I get my erections over?... We the 90% laugh in the direction of you 10% flaccid people! Be proud my fellow cartridge lovers!
@misterMike Yeah... And I had a WiiU with the same mentality (for Nintendo games) so they really not worth it to me.
I mean not really a Switch thing. Not bought a single rehashed game on PS4 or PC either.
I'll get RE2 when it is like $15 on Steam. And want it more so I can benchmark future graphic cards in my Rig.
Ooh yep I'll be pre-ordering this.
I’ll bite! I loved the second one on Wii U and I’d love to own the whole trilogy, even if it means giving money to GameStop...
@Ryu_Niiyama
Well, great laughs were had, so no harm at all!
@Beermonkey
No need to get so pissy over such a silly boner.
Just relax and enjoy tonight's Nintendo Erect.
@AlexSora89 At full mast, sir.
@PhilKenSebben
Then don't mastthis joke has been censored by Nintendo
@AlexSora89 Sadly I will not be partaking in the Nintendo erect tonight as I'm working a Nightshift. I will however be getting hot and heavy about it in the morning when I finish. A morning erect if you will...
@misterMike why do you care what people choose to do with there own money. Never understood why people get upset about others spending there own money on products they choose to buy.
@sikthvash I love you for this.
Hoping for 60fps and online co-op
Great news but Gamestop? If it's exclusive to Gamestop/EB Games then Australians will have to make do with unsealed, ratty copies the staff have probably played.
@Agramonte
I feel ya. I'm very tempted to get this game card but I already have 1*2 on Wii U and 3 on PC.
@Rhaoulos I found the third game perfectly fine. Yes, it's shorter than the others, but there are so many games and so little time, so that's not really an issue.
@Beermonkey
You mean
I LOVED nine parchments. What a hidden gem(..also game with the ugliest icon on eshop with repulsive looking character designs) so I will be supporting this company by buying this
Gamestop exclusive - does this mean I won't be getting this in the UK?
