BioShock: The Collection

2K made a few new announcements for Switch last week during the new Nintendo Direct Mini. New collections for BioShock, Borderlands, and XCOM 2 are all reaching the system in just a couple of months. It’s the first time that these titles will be appearing on a Nintendo console.

As you may know, 2K will be selling each collection both physically and digitally. But let’s say you’re only interested in BioShock 2. Or maybe you only care about the original Borderlands. If that’s the case, you’ll be happy to hear that all titles in the BioShock and Borderlands collections will be sold individually on the eShop, allowing you to pick and choose the titles you wish to purchase digitally. On top of that, you can also choose to buy BioShock: The Collection and Borderlands Legendary Collection as single packages. In other words, you can either buy any of the games individually or the full collections – whichever you prefer.

BioShock: The Collection and Borderlands Legendary Collection, along with XCOM 2 Collection, are slated for May 29.

Amazon has posted the boxart for Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town. You can check it out above, and pre-order the game here.

Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town launches in North America this summer. In Europe, it already has a confirmed release date of July 10.

Sea of Stars

Sea of Stars continues to perform well on Kickstarter, and has reached a number of stretch goals over the past few days. Aside from “Single Player+” and a bonus dungeon, other goals have also been reached for in-game cinematics in addition to New Game+ and an alternate ending. We’d also be remiss if we didn’t mention that a behind-the-scenes documentary will be produced.

For fans of boxed copies, you’ll be happy to hear that Sabotage has teamed up with Limited Run Games to offer an early backer exclusive physical edition. It will feature a unique alternate cover by artist Bryce Kho, and this edition will only be available to backers.

Here’s a look:

The classic fighting title SNK Gals Fighters could be heading to Switch. That’s based on a recent rating from South Korea, which was recently added to the official classification database.

SNK Gals Fighters originally came out on the Neo Geo Pocket Color back in 2000. Numerous characters from SNK franchises are included on the roster, which was an idea explored again in 2018’s SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy.

Ratings in South Korea previously outed Catherine: Full Body and XCOM 2 Collection for Switch prior to their official announcements in the Nintendo Direct Mini last month.
