Two Whovian adventures are heading to Switch on a little bitter-tasting cartridge in the rather quotidianly titled Doctor Who: Duo Bundle, launching on 18th October.
Collecting both Doctor Who: The Lonely Assassins and Doctor Who: The Edge of Reality, this dual bundle release of Maze Theory's previously digital-only games had been previously revealed for Europe, but the physical combo cart has now been confirmed for a North American release too (thanks, GoNintendo).
While The Edge of Reality failed to wow us on Switch, we believe The Lonely Assassins to be "the best Doctor Who game ever made", as you'll know if you read our review from August last year. A direct sequel to the iconic 2007 episode “Blink” — which introduced the Weeping Angels — the game a low-key gem that's well worth checking out, in this physical bundle or otherwise.

No interest in this, but I’ve been obsessed with the BBC web browser Dr Who tile game since lockdown started. I don’t even like Dr Who.
Kinda tempted just to have this on my shelf.
Its hard to encapsulate a Doctor Who adventure into a videogame because the episodic narrative structure doesn't lend itself well to gameplay goals.
...that being said, hear me out. Nintendogs but its K-9.
😡I have both of these Games digitally.
I might buy them again but secondhand to teach the Developers a lesson.
Best of the new Doctors and the worst of the new Doctors.
The best Doctor Who game ever, by far is LEGO Dimensions and its pack dedicated to the franchise. One of the creators behind that, Stephen Sharples, is currently working on an old school style point-and-click adventure game, and it looks excellent.
I only see one Doctor in that photo. Matt Smith is a close runner up for modern Doctors. The rest I've blocked out of my mind....
So, for that money you get a cell phone game designed especially for cell phones and a VR game without the VR. Just buy Lonely Assasins for your phone. It's a game that emulates a phone screen FFS.
Those little Switch game cards are definitely bigger on the inside.
@MrGawain I want to look into this now.
