Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection Goes Physical on Switch 2

A new wave of physical game releases hits the Switch 2, starting with Mortal Kombat.

Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection Set for Physical Release on Switch 2

Digital Eclipse has confirmed the release of Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection for the Nintendo Switch and Switch 2. This physical edition is notable because it includes the entire game on the cartridge, appealing particularly to collectors. The Kollector's Edition, priced at $149.99, features exclusive items like a Goro controller holder and commemorative tokens, while the Deluxe Edition comes at a price of $79.99 with additional bonuses. Pre-orders are now available through the Atari website, with shipments expected by December 12, 2025.

The decision to release physical copies of Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection reflects a broader trend among gaming companies to cater to collectors who value tangible copies of digital media. As more games release fully on cartridges, especially in a market dominated by digital downloads, this could signal a shift in how publishers approach their offerings in the future. The ability to hold a game in hand is increasingly cherished, potentially deriving from nostalgia and the fear of losing digital access.

Highlights

This release may encourage more publishers to explore physical editions in an increasingly digital economy.
