If you're interested in purchasing the Blizzard Arcade Collection for your Nintendo Switch, you might want to consider Blizzard's 30-year celebration collection instead.
This pack not only includes Blizzard's new retro arcade collection but also a cache of commemorative in-game content for Overwatch and Diablo III. Keep in mind you'll need to own both of these games in order to make use of the items.
"StarCraft's rebellious marshal, Jim Raynor, is touching down in Overwatch as the Raynhardt Legendary skin for Reinhardt, bringing with him a supply drop of Classic Loot Boxes, Golden Loot Boxes (which include a guaranteed Legendary), along with a commemorative 30th anniversary icon and spray."
This bundle unlocks the following items in Overwatch when you purchase the Blizzard 30-Year Celebration Collection:
- Blizzard's 30th Anniversary Portrait
- Blizzard's 30th Anniversary Spray
- "Raynhardt" Reinhardt (Legendary)
- 5 Classic Loot Boxes
- 3 Golden Loot Boxes
"Diablo’s Dark Wanderer again seeks the east. Adopt the guise of Tristram’s fallen warrior in Diablo III with a terrifyingly familiar transmog set, wings, pet, and portrait."
This bundle unlocks the following items in Diablo III when you purchase the Blizzard 30-Year Celebration Collection:
- Terror Unleashed Wings
- The Dark Murglrrr Pet
- Dark Wanderer Portrait
- The Wanderer's Transmog Set
Once again, you'll need to own Overwatch and Diablo III to unlock these items. If you do take up this offer, it'll cost $29.99. That's $10.00 more than the Blizzard Arcade Collection by itself.
Will you be celebrating 30 years of Blizzard Entertainment with this slighter bigger collection with bonus goodies? Leave a comment down below.

Question is, will people without phones be able to get this?
Huh, yeah, isn't this usually the sort of thing where a company gives these cosmetics away as part of a celebration instead of fleecing the player base. Talk about having your cake, smearing it over the unborn children of your enemies and eating it and them.
The diablo 3 cosmetics are for PC only usually. Owerwatch is cross plattform.
Edit: Ok this package is indeed also for switch, you just have to purchase it for switch.
@Old-Red
Yeah, I'm not totally happy about it either because:
1. The price
2. I don't play Overwatch, thus those items are meaningless to me, so no reason to purchase them, yet I would have no choice to get the Diablo III items.
10 quid extra for a couple of pixels. Man, that's free money to them lol. Pretty gross.
Quite happy to see this blizzard collection, it came out of nowhere with two of my favorite childhood games rock’n roll racing and the lost vikings and blackthorne wasn’t bad either, but I don’t care about the cosmetic extras I don’t have overwatch nor diablo 3.
@nebria it’s in the releases news that they’re for consoles, and the listing in console stores also mention it.

Note however that if you own the game on multiple platforms, the Diablo items are only available on the platform you purchase for. Overwatch bonuses seem to be usable cross platform for linked accounts.
The Lost Vikings on Switch is like a wet dream come true. It's just a bit overpriced in my opinion. Ehmmm... and 10 bucks for some cosmetics? C'mon!
Awesome to have Lost Vikings on the Switch as I loved it on the SNES!!! I guess Blizzard is trying to justify the price by throwing in 2 other games (which I never heard of and don't really want) plus extras. So on that note, great to have Lost Vikings and yep on my hit list, but when the price is reduced to around £10. PS just a thought, if possible, it would have been better to have had LV 1 and 2 with extras relating to the 2 amazing games and priced at £12 max!
So the 10 extra dollars is just for loot boxes & it doesn't even offer anything extra for the game bundle itself? That's the take away from this right?
if I buy this on the switch, but I have diablo on the playstation - will my goodies show up on the playstation?
I'd have appreciated a bit of recognition for the first two Warcraft games. :x
@MJF no, I don’t believe so. Overwatch goodies seem to, but Diablo ones don’t from what I’ve been able to work out.
so, charging money for cosmetics and loot boxes is fine, but not... now for some reason? i mean, i get it - $10 is a bit absurd - but if you're the kind of gamer that spends money on things like this, loot boxes seem to go about a dollar each on average. so, if you own both games and were buying the arcade collection anyway, this is actually a good value. if not - why are you whining? don't buy it. but it's not like this is anything new, stop acting like this is a stab in the back 🙄 can't please anyone these days lmfao
@Smigit
thanks for correcting me. Seems I didn't read the article carefully. It is great they bring it to switch too. In the past cosmetics from Blizzcon were for PC only so this is mutch better this time.
