Diablo III – Eternal Collection’s physical version on Switch won’t require an extra download
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Around the end of last year, we started to see Switch games that required an extra download for their physical version. That means even if you bought the title on a cartridge, you still needed to grab extra data in order to play or have the full experience.
With Diablo III – Eternal Collection on Switch, this is something you won’t have to worry about. Blizzard has confirmed that all of the data and content will be included on the cartridge – no extra data required. This was somewhat expected after we saw the game’s boxart, which didn’t include any sort of notice about an additional download. Still, the confirmation is good to have.
Diablo III Eternal Collection lets you play with a single Joy-Con

Diablo III Eternal Collection supports a wide variety of controller options. A group of people can play with three Switch Pro Controllers and a single Joy-Con. It also supports a configuration such as two Joy-Con on a single Switch in tabletop mode. Basically, pretty much every natural possibility you can think of works here.
When playing with a single Joy-Con, you’re able to roll by flicking the controller in a quick motion, which Game Informer says is “surprisingly reactive and accurate”. This movement is normally handled by the right analog stick.
As an extra tidbit, Diablo III will feature voice chat support with the Nintendo Switch Online app.

Update: Unfortunately, Link will not in the final game – and that’s likely why Engadget has now pulled its video. Link was leftover from testing and has been scrapped from the final release.
Original: One of the features of Diablo III Eternal Collection on Switch is some Zelda-inspired content. Blizzard announced a few bonus items, including a Ganondorf armor set.
It’s only natural that Link will also be in the game. We don’t have the full details on this just yet, but Engadget shows off the character’s look in the game below.
