[Let’s Talk] Your dream Switch collection
Posted on 2 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Let's Talk, Switch | 0 comments
Switch has its fair share of new games, but also quite a large selection of releases from prior generations. And five years in, things are still very strong on that front. This past week we saw the announcement of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection. In last month’s Nintendo Direct, it was revealed that Portal: Companion Collection is in the works. Nintendo has even dabbled with that idea having released Super Mario 3D All-Stars. Obviously that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
Switch has shown that it still has a lot of life left, and that means collections will continue to be a mainstay. With that in mind, is there a dream collection you’d like to see? Let us know in the comments below.

All of this ties into the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Earlier in the week, Nintendo delayed Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp, citing “recent world events”. It is currently unclear when the title will be receiving a new release date.
