Until recently, the Borderlands series had never graced a Nintendo platform. That finally changed at the very end of May with Borderlands Legendary Collection. With that release, most of the franchise is now on Switch. Turn Me Up Games was heavily involved having worked on the ports of the first Borderlands as well as Borderlands 2.
We’ve caught up with Turn Me Up to discuss bringing these classic titles over to Nintendo’s console. Producer Louis Polak and executive producer Scott Cromie were able to share insight into its partnership with 2K and what it was like porting Borderlands 1 and 2 to Switch.
Here’s our full discussion:
This week on Nintendo Everything Podcast, Oni Dino finally gets his hands on a copy of Ring Fit and realizes he’s super out of shape. Galen eschews social distancing and parties with Jackbox.

Ubisoft has introduced the Gigatrack for Trials Rising. The free DLC launches this coming week, and will have players taking on the series’ longest track ever across five different environments.
Here’s a brief overview of the Gigatrack:
In previous years, Ubisoft held an annual press conference at E3 2020. But since the event was entirely scrapped due to the coronavirus, the company shifted plans to an online presentation instead. The broadcast, known as Ubisoft Forward, kicks off today at 12 PM PT / 3 PM ET / 8 PM in the UK / 9 PM in Europe. Some sort of pre-show should also be starting soon.
Ubisoft hasn’t confirmed all of the games that will be shown, so it’s unclear how much of the showcase will be relevant to Switch owners. Games like Gods & Monsters, Roller Champions, and Just Dance are possibilities.
You can watch Ubisoft Forward as it happens below. We’ll be reporting on any notable Nintendo-related news throughout the event.

He said:
