Microids is celebrating Asterix’s 65th birthday in style by releasing the premium Asterix Maxi Collection – Platinum Edition on the Nintendo Switch on 31st October. This hefty package includes six Asterix games along with a special 8 inch statue of the mighty Obelix and the wise Dogmatix. The Nintendo Switch version of the Asterix Maxi Collection – Platinum Edition includes all six games on one cartridge, which is great news.
The 6 games in the compilation:
- Asterix & Obelix – Slap Them All! – A slap-filled adventure awaits Asterix and Obelix as they battle hundreds of enemies, including Romans, pirates, bandits and even Normans.
- Asterix & Obelix – Slap Them All! 2 – More slapping fun with an original storyline that takes the pair through a variety of locations, including forgotten ruins, a Roman camp and Lutèce. It’s a journey that will provide players with lots of opportunities to practice their slaps.
- Asterix & Obélix – XXL Romastered – The Romans have pillaged Asterix’ village and taken all the villagers. It’s up to our heroes Asterix & Obelix to track them down and rescue them, assisted by Dogmatix of course. Their mission will take players on a journey from Normandy, through Greece and Egypt to Rome.
- Asterix & Obelix – XXL 2 – The old druid, Getafix, has disappeared after betraying his own people for Julius Caesar, or so it seems. Asterix and Obelix are sent to Rome on a mission by their chief Vitalstatistix where they find a Roman amusement park called Las Vegum. What is Getafix up to?
- Asterix & Obelix – XXL 3 – When Getafix gets a strange letter from Hella Finidrir, the high priestess of Thule, it leads to a mission for our heroes to take a mysterious Menhir from its hiding place.
- Asterix & Obelix XXXL – The Ram From Hibernia – Players will travel through six ‘worlds’ on a brand-new adventure. As Asterix and Obelix, players will need to unlock passageways, seek out hidden bonuses and knock out as many Romans as possible.
Where are the old nes/snes-games?
The question that should be asked is there an actual cartridge included, and if so are all the games on the actual physical cartridge?
We know all too well how physical EU switch games tend to be codes in a box or have little to no data at all on the physical cartridge, and too many people just ignore this issue, not realizing that not having everything on the cartridge, or wasting plastic to release an empty case with no physical cartridge at all defeats the entire purpose of even wanting a physical copy to begin with.
So true.
But the figures are nice. Sucks that none of them are available for US buyers.
As mentioned in the article all games are included on a cartridge.
