Even though it seems very likely Nintendo will announce the Switch’s successor any day now, the slate of games that are still to come is a long and impressive one. Super Mario Wonder, the Super Mario RPG remake, and Detective Pikachu Returns all arrived recently, and Princess Peach Showtime is coming in 2024. The Arkham Trilogy is also coming to Switch, an announcement that has all of us who have played Arkham Knight wondering how exactly the final game of the three is going to run on Nintendo’s latest hardware.
If a game as massive as Tears of the Kingdom can run on Switch, I’m sure Arkham Knight can too. Well actually I’m certain of it since the Switch version of the Arkham Trilogy now has a release date. Launching on December 1 following a six-week delay, now we know when exactly Batman will be gliding onto the Switch, and there are various outlets you can preorder the Trilogy.
There are no bonuses to speak of for securing a copy early, but we do now know the collection will cost $60 on Switch and will include a suit not available on other platforms until a later date. The bat suit Robert Pattinson wore in The Batman. The suit was added to Arkham Knight on other platforms a little early by mistake, and it has since been confirmed the suit will be a timed Nintendo exclusive from December 1.
Batman: Arkham Trilogy
Become The Batman On Nintendo Switch
The Batman Arkham Trilogy is coming to Nintendo Switch, and you can pre-order your physical copy of the collection right now ready for when it launches on December 1, 2023.
$60 might sound like a lot for what will presumably be the same games that have already been available on other platforms for a number of years. The discourse surrounding the price for Red Dead Redemption’s Switch port, which costs $40, doesn’t appear to have manifested for the Arkham Trilogy. Perhaps because it’s three games, and all of those games are pretty great, people are more okay with it. Again, especially if Arkham Knight is somehow able to run smoothly.
The Switch port’s delay might have been brought about by an incredibly busy October for video games. Not only did we get new Mario and Spidey games, but also Assassin’s Creed Mirage, Alan Wake 2, Forza Motorsport, and Sonic Superstars. If you’ve recovered from that whirlwind of a month, you can settle in and play the Arkham Trilogy on Switch over the holidays.
