The game isn’t even available in a lot of countries as Nintendo is handling publishing duties, which means you won’t find it India despite Bethesda having an official presence in the country.Īnd there’s more.
With the game available for $20 ever so often on PS4, Xbox One, and Windows PC thanks to regular sales, there’s really no reason to pay three times the price.
None of the game’s additional content - three additional single-player campaigns - are on the Nintendo Switch, essentially meaning that you’re paying the full $60 price for a game that released on the Nintendo Switch nearly a year late. Now you’d think that releasing Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus on the Nintendo Switch nine months after it hit other platforms would entitle Switch owners to some extras such as the game’s season pass content bundled in, which is what we saw with South Park: The Fractured But Whole, but this is not the case. But with the Wolfenstein 2 Switch download size being 22GB and Nintendo Switch’s 32GB of internal storage resulting in 25.6GB of usable space, you’ll most definitely need additional microSD card storage. Buying it digitally via the Nintendo eShop is an option too. Granted it’s not as bad as WWE 2K18 that required a 24GB download, but given the reliability (or lack thereof) of the Nintendo Switch’s Wi-Fi and the absence of a pause download button makes it an annoyance. If you bought Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus at retail on cartridge, you’ll need to download 8GB of game data. Now, having played Wolfenstein 2, however, we wish Bethesda had stuck to keeping the game exclusive to non-Nintendo hardware. These were solid releases of games made for more powerful hardware. After all, the game’s publisher Bethesda has been prolific on the Nintendo Switch, releasing Skyrim and Doom. So it’s no surprise that Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus received the same treatment when it hit the PS4, Xbox One, and Windows PC late last year with cries for a Switch port. If a game launches on any of the aforementioned platforms, it’s usually followed by the question: “Is it coming to the Switch?”, to the point where it’s become a bit of a meme. Ever since the Nintendo Switch’s launch, its fans have been hankering for a larger number of PS4, Xbox One, and PC games to come to the hybrid console.
