Wolfenstein II Gets A New Physical Edition For Switch Full Of Tat

Now all we need is a switch 2 upgrade please 👍

How about a Switch 2 update patch? And while you are at it Bethesda, Switch 2 updates for Doom and Doom Eternal please.

Yes, I'm waiting for it. Finally a full release... the only AAA game on physical from LRG that I'm missing is Grid: Autosport. Such a good game, I can't believe that they still didn't do it.

I'd love a Wolfenstein 1 and 2 Switch 2 release, it's a shame that first one is missing from Nintendo.

Need to patch young blood for switch 2 crashes constantly, and yes I do want to play it after all this time!

Nice the game is getting a full cartridge release, shame its abit late and by Limited Run though, but still, never thought this would happen and I did enjoy the game back in the day and worthy of a true physical

I’d love to see some of these switch 1 games that also had at minimum ps4 versions get switch 2 updates.

@cotopo I’m wishing for this too and imagine the increase in sales of these games 👍🏻😎

Hopefully Switch 2 key-card games get re-released in the future as proper physicals.

@Luigia agreed, release a patch alongside a good discount for those games just like No Mans Sky did, I am sure they will sell well.

Its not too late to give the Switch version the DLC Bethesda.

Also, I remember the Switch version being impossible to 100% due to a bug collecting one of the specific cards. Is that still the case?

I'm confused. I own a physical version of this already.

God this article is great. Anyone who uses 'tat' is a winner in my book

I need to confirm first whether this release has the entire game on the card. IIRC the original physical version requires a 9 GB update.

I have mixed feelings about this. I did cave and buy the half "physical" wider release on sale (and even that was too damn expensive), and even after all these years, the Switch still doesn't have the DLC, which would have made this release far more enticing.

Meanwhile, I've bought the PC version for peanuts via GOG, and I'll be able to play the definitive version of the game plus the DLC on the go when I eventually grab a handheld PC (along with earlier games in the series), thus rendering the Switch version completely redundant.

Had this been a dedicated Switch 2 port, this would have been a more tantalising purchase, but I'm not so sure that this release is even worth buying so late into the Switch's lifecycle and without any updates for the Switch 2 whatsoever.

I'd easily have double-dipped on a proper full cartridge release of DOOM 2016 though, even without any new bells and whistles.

The review in the Link says 8/10? Unless I misread something

"New 32 gb cartridge release"
.. Can someone shed some light on that? Kind of suggests previous release was.. 16gb I guess?.. But then I see no DLC nor anything that would justify a bigger cart size, sooo what gives?

What the heck is tat?

What in the blue hell is "tat"? 🤦

@Rainbowjames Unless you have been blessed by a miracle, your physical version is not the whole game and requires a download.

I was starting to get into LRG purchases, but then a bunch of their publications started becoming available elsewhere and I've been put off again.

I have the incomplete version of this game on Switch but have not played much of it. Tempted to let this news push me into playing the game more to see if it justifies a complete version in my Switch collection.

@gcunit noted thanks. Not something that bothers me too much, but then I own a key card game too...... I do completely understand why it matters to people though. 100%.

Uh-oh... they used the 'W' word ^

@gcunit Weenie?

Wow, that's a lot of tit! I hope all that tat is worth it.

Would've loved if the previous games came over the Switch. Wolfenstein 2 is quite good, but The New Order and its prequel would be perfect for the Switch too.

The last time Wolfenstein talked about a "physical edition, " it was a dumb code in a box. So you'll understand my being wary.

@Johnny_Arthur ah-ha! I thought I hit "ignore" on everyone spouting brainwashed propaganda, thank you for crawling outta the woodwork!

did Missing DLC include add it ?

@PushMyGran86 That's what I was thinking! If it was Switch 2 upgrade, I actually like all the swag with it.

we need a new wolfenstein game.

Hey, weird timing, amirite??? Sob.

@AussieMcBucket Worcestershire.

What is with these late physicals now for the S1 long after the S2 dropped especially with no S2 patch? Like “better late than never”, but nothing much beyond that. The 1st game is also still strangely absent.

@Arawn93 yeah I would much rather have the first and Old Blood on a cart.

@Arawn93 Switch 1 cart prices have fallen due the manufacturing switching over the Switch 2... So it basically a fire sale to get rid of what stock is left over,

The New Order wasn't ported over most likely due it using ID Tech 5, and id Tech 5 has a big reliance on a massive "MegaTexture" technology, which not optimized for the Switch's hardware and no support for Switch's low-level Nvidia graphics API. I think Id tech 6 (Doom (2016), Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus and youngblood) also use mega texture, but they have massive improved it, but they also used a different system for Switch. id Tech 7 (Doom Eternal, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle) got rid of mega textures tho.

Help me out, Olliemar28, what is "tat"?

@vio @Krambo42

@LikelySatan Worth it.

With how aggressive this game's dynamic resolution was on Switch, it seems like a pretty good candidate for a Switch 2 replay. I'd honestly really like to pick it up if I didn't still have so many new games to get through. Hopefully I can hunt down a few of LRG's releases later on if I ever have money to burn on cool things I'll never use.

Fair, the USB floppy disk while cool what's it for? Just a USB? Or like the OST Xenoblade did but limited space on it?

Or is it blank and like the Ace Combat Assault Horizon notebook you can just do whatever with it as it's empty but just a cool cosmetic thing?

Of course Switch 2 upgrade comes to mind but that aside fair other stuff to offer I guess even if a bit late on doing so.

"Tat" is British slang for tasteless clothing, jewelry and ornaments Olliemar28 seems to be using as a synonym for "junk." So it's definitely derisive, but that's his tone in the article anyway.

I'd deride any journalism major for using slang in an article title in the first place, but here it's compounded by the fact the majority US-based readership will instead think "tattoo." So it's confusing, but online journalism thrives on that to generate clicks and comments, so he likely intentionally used vague, obscure slang on purpose.

@vio @Krambo42 @WoomyNNYes

Bruh the steel case books used to be $5-10 more, it's not special if every special edition has this

How about a 32GB Switch 2 cart?

Leave it to Limited Run Games to make another pointless physical cartridge release. If there's any Wolfenstein game that needs a physical edition it's Wolfenstein Youngblood, not the New Colossus. We already got physical cartridge release of Wolfenstein II already.

@Serpenterror It was incomplete and required a download.

@EVIL-C Yes, Wolfenstein Youngblood was incomplete and required a download which is why it needs a physical cartridge release.

@Serpenterror Since I own it, I would've preferred a real physical release as well.

Was an ok game, largely forgettable for me though.

This is awesome! Please do a physical 32GB cartridge release for Wolfenstein: Youngblood next!

@TapuCoke Thank you for the downlow. Much appreciated!

@Serpenterror Youngblood is trash..

Thanks, @TapuCoke<3

@Zuljaras

Wolfenstein 2009 is my personal favorite in the series, but I agree, I much prefer the occult setting to the setting Machine Games went with.

@Anachronism

I purchased Wolfenstein 2 on the original Switch to play while on a trip to family out of state. I regretted the purchase immediately, it looks horrible on Switch.

Rather see old releases like this as it was $60 back in 2018; still dumb of another case of a multimillionaire choosing a third party distributor, even with how successful the Switch has been for Bethesda (with both Indiana Jones and Fallout getting the green light on Switch 2.)
