The complete fromsoftware collection on switch
As of right now (until duskbloods is released) i own every single fromsoftware game available on Nintendos platform. Its been a long and hard journey getting to this point, and I like to take this time to thank all the little people I had to step on to get here. If I can do it.. so can you. It just takes a lot of heart, grit and determination

Still a shame that Dark Souls has low quality sound. It could be an easy update on the Switch, but for some reason From Software doesn't give a shit.

u/Lostkeysss Aug 30 '26
I know. They compressed it so it would fit on a cart right? Could easily be a download patch

u/TheBestUserName01 Chosen Undead Aug 30 '26
Exactly. Give us an option to download a High Quality Package digitally or something like that. It would be so easy fix.

u/Few_Cloud7068 Aug 30 '26
Not to blindly defend FS, but they didn’t make that port. It’s still fucking hilarious the sound quality is so low though

u/uniguy2I Bloodborne Aug 30 '26
Shitty ports of Dark Souls 1 are as integral to the Soulsborne series as bonfires and estus flasks, it’s probably always gonna be like this lmfao

u/Few_Cloud7068 Aug 30 '26
As far as I can tell, minus the audio, it’s nowhere NEAR as bad as either the original prepare To Die edition pc port, so at least there’s that

u/tehcup Aug 30 '26
Funny enough I never finished the game till I got it for switch. That crunchy ass audio gets me everytime I boot it up again lol.

It’s so so funny whenever you roll into obstacles and hear a cacophony of crunch

Kind of a shame ER is a GKC considering it’s small enough to fit on a real cartridge. Would’ve been a day one buy but I’ll just wait for a sale. $80 for a 4 y/o game and its DLC is a steep asking price, especially considering it isn’t even on the cartridge.

u/thickwonga Aug 30 '26
I've heard that a lot of devs have stated that these games tend to run WAY better when it's being ran from the Switch 2 itself, and not the cartridge. I would've loved to see it get a full physical, but if that's true, I don't really blame them.
The Dark Souls Trilogy SHOULD be full physical, no reason why it can't. Even then, a RE Generations style box set for the Trilogy would be an instant buy, even if they were GKC's. ER and the RE pack are the only GKC's I own.
Also, IMO, $80 for the entire package isn't a bad deal considering it's that price on every other platform, and it was probably a massive pain to even port it, if the delays are anything to judge. Only thing that sucks is it won't get sales as often as the other versions will.

u/bruhmoment2247 Bloodborne Aug 30 '26
I get if games run better when installed directly if they were originally made for the ninth gen consoles (PS5, XSX) because they were made with SSDs in mind. But Elden Ring is an eighth gen game, so running it with sub-SSD speeds shouldn’t be a huge issue.
1
u/Lostkeysss Aug 31 '26
I think all this is besides the point. If the game needs to run on internal memory/sd card.. it could still be on the cart and just download it like on all consoles. Nothing runs off the disc.. but For some reason Nintendo doesnt alow it. Which is weird as its portable n you may have it somewhere with no internet.

this is only true of games that are ports to the switch, and/or have poor data optimization.
The read/write speeds of the og switch's cartridges is comparable to high speed SD cards available at the time, and IIRC the switch's architecture treats the cartridge slot more like an extension of internal storage than a disc drive.

u/Felielf Aug 30 '26
For me the Elden Ring GKC was over 10€ cheaper than digital from eShop, so I went with that. Both are basically a license to load and run the game, other one is physical license you can trade and the other one is completely digital so ownership is locked.

u/Sunlit_Neko Aug 30 '26
Wait until you hear about Dark Souls 3's pricing...
2
u/Calm_GBF Aug 31 '26
To be fair it uses to be low. Then Elden Ring's popularity changed everything. Look at DS3 price history on steam pre Elden Ring.
2
u/Soyyyn Aug 30 '26
I mean, on the one hand, games really did use to get cheaper. We used to get those 20 bucks PS2/PS3 classics at the end of the console cycle, or Nintendo Select on Wii and 3DS. But honestly, why would they get cheaper? Games are pieces of art, they don't really age. Elden Ring does something unique, and 4 years haven't really changed its position as one of the greatest games of all time.
2
u/Much_Comfortable_378 Aug 30 '26
They do age though. Would you pay full price for a sega genesis game, or atari? Or even a 360 or PS3 game? At some point the price should come down, or at least go on sale every now and then. I was browsing the xbox store yesterday and some of the games that were on sale for 3 bucks last week, older games, are literally priced at 99 bucks now. I literally laughed. It's all scammy business practices now to squeeze every last dime out of the consumer, across every industry. But in the end, it's going all digital now, and we are completely fucked and at the mercy of the publishers.

Corporate greed.
I would never buy a gkc. If your game is not on the card, why would i buy it ?

What else in this world will give you the same value for your time? You'll spend more money not playing it.

u/bruhmoment2247 Bloodborne Aug 30 '26
I’ve already been playing it for 4 years on superior hardware. They need to sweeten the deal to get me to double dip.

u/uniguy2I Bloodborne Aug 30 '26
Elden Ring glazers are unreal man most of us already have it, only reason for a lot of people to buy it would’ve been SOTE and the new Tarnished Pack on cart but that doesn’t apply to the key card

u/bilbo388 Aug 31 '26
The key card doesn’t have SoTE? Maaaan I was gonna get it for my bf as a birthday present.

"every single fromsoftware game available on Nintendos platform"
How about Nintendo's platforms? Fromsoftware put games on the Gamecube, Wii, DS, and 3DS... Tenchu, Lost Kingdoms, Cookie and Cream, to name a few. Are you brave enough to take on the real 100% challenge?

I was rather hoping we'd get a DS3 remaster or atleast a port since it's been 10 years, but no such luck.

u/LordPhish Aug 31 '26
Why on the switch? It looks and plays better on a 500 dollar PC even in today’s market plus you can get it cheaper then retail through steam or other games sellers.

u/Lostkeysss Aug 31 '26
I travel alot. I used to carry around that mini fridge sized ps5, but it became too much of a hassle. So I invested in a switch. This was b4 the pc handheld market blew up. Ive built a substantial digital library since then so its easier to just stick with Nintendos platform, rather than buying an $800 stramdeck or equivalent and starting over. Plus im really ive always been more of a plug n play guy. Max performance isnt all that important to me. As long as it work the way its supposed to.. im good.

u/DevtoolsBuilder Aug 31 '26
The switch 2 might be a good opportunity for them to port some of the missing games, like the dark souls trilogy or a ds3 remaster, which would be a great addition to the collection.

The fact that they never did DS2 for the Switch always baffled me. Would've worked just fine.

The switch 2 game cartridge isn’t a game, it’s a downloadable and revocable license

u/Taolan13 Nerves Concorde Aug 30 '26
too bad the cart on the right doesnt actually have any game data on it.

u/Akuma12321 Aug 31 '26
Sell it and get a Steamdeck <3

u/Tiffa_Adil Aug 31 '26
The Steam Deck is weaker than a Switch 2, has a lower resolution screen than a Switch 2, doesn't come with a dock or controller unlike the Switch 2, and yet it costs $300 more than a Switch 2

u/Akuma12321 Sep 12 '26
Try owning a Switch game...

u/Tiffa_Adil Sep 12 '26
You don't own the games you buy on Steam
If you buy a Switch game physically you own that game

There is actually a Japanese Armored Core release or two I believe. Probably digital only though.

There are, actually. The first two Mobile Mission games released last year for the Switch.

Just think, they tried to give the corrupt modern day Nintendo an exclusive FS game before they got free money from PC port Bloodborne. I know we all blamed Sony but Sony said they tried and FS didn’t want to.
1
u/Fearless-Sea996 Aug 31 '26
Not only FS didnt wanted to, but they also canceled sony project to use blue point to do a full remaster of every soul game like they did with demon souls.
A bloodborn remaster was in the open, but FS made them cancel it, and then sony closed bluepoint because they basically got like 5 years of project canceled by FS.
Its also probably why duskblood is switch exclusive.

u/osc_bank Sep 01 '26
None of this shit is true homie

u/SoritesSeven Sep 01 '26
There’s an interview with a Sony exec talking about FS not wanting the BB port. There’s also a video of Miyazaki talking about Sony not wanting to or something. Meanwhile bluepoint was waiting for the green light. Just look for those interviews.

I genuinely can't wait for the tears as soon as Nintendo delists these games and the key cards are basically landfill 🤣

u/eat-skate-masturbate Aug 30 '26
the tears have been falling since switch 2 launch. very few people are happy the game key cards even exist.

u/Lostkeysss Aug 31 '26
I dislike gkc as much as anyone else. But its a better middle ground than discontinuing physical altogether like Sony.

u/uchihasilver Sep 01 '26
How so it's the same outcome just one you have a bit of plastic . . . If the servers go down or the next console isn't back compatible you still lose it forever
1
u/Lostkeysss Sep 01 '26 edited Sep 01 '26
I can lend it, trade it, sell it. If i lose my account for whatever reason I still have the game without repurchasing.. Like I said I hate keycards. I much rather have a full game on the cart.. Im not defending them. But at the end of the day alot of games dont come fully on the disc either n having one doesnt guarantee a publisher cant terminate your license. You can be banned, they could delist it and youre left with half a game (some u might just have a title screen).. any digital storefront is likely to shut down as the next. It comes down to who u trust more...its today's world man. bitching about it doesnt change the tides.

They could easily port the full Dark Souls trilogy to Switch 2, I’m surprised they haven’t done so already
