According to French retailer WTT, Rocksteady's Arkham games may be coming to the Nintendo Switch in August for €59.99. While there has been no official confirmation of this by Rocksteady or Warner Bros., retailers have been known to list unannounced items early, accidentally revealing their existence. With a Nintendo Direct coming tomorrow, it's possible the listing was meant to go up shortly after that broadcast. It's also worth noting that WTT previously leaked the existence of The Witcher 3 on Switch. The Arkham Collection would presumably be the same one released on PC and consoles previously, meaning it would include Batman: Arkham Asylum, Batman: Arkham City, and Batman: Arkham Knight.

While the listing isn't online anymore, VGC managed to get a screenshot before it was taken down.

Well it can't possibly run worse than Arkham Knight ran on PC, right...?

Head to head contest between Switch and Steam Deck to see which runs Arkham Knight worse.

AK on the Switch? Wtf?

 

[The Catboy]

I am honestly shocked it wasn’t already on the Switch

 

[djpannda]

The rumor is that knight is going to be streaming only … eww nooo

 

[chocoboss]

As Batman fan I approve that but it will probably run very badly

Way too late, but at least they'll play Arkham Asylum (my favorite of the three) and experience it themselves.

Is it confirmed that the third game is Arkham Knight and not Arkham Origins though?
It would make much more sense if the bundle came with Origins, Asylum and City for the 3 games.
I doubt Switch can handle Knight, well at least I think it can handle it as well as the original PC release lol

Nothing is confirmed about this, it's just that previous Arkham collections included Knight and not Origins. I think Origins is kinda considered the black sheep of the franchise and it hasn't been acknowledged much, so I'd be surprised to see it show up here, but it's certainly not impossible.

if it's streaming only, which i think we all know it is, then it's a pass for me. I'm not even sure how comfortable i am in thinking it's "coming to the switch", if it's just streaming. but it's something i guess?

Was hoping it wouldn't require streaming.
Though one has to ask now, which will be the worse way to run the game? Streaming it on the Switch with Nintendo's famous server system, or installing it on the Steam deck and playing from there?

Origins was developed by a different developer so it doesn't get as much love as the trilogy does. It's still a good game and should it be part of it? To have a complete set, yes.

A Switch rumor pops up before a Nintendo Direct that is scheduled for tomorrow at 2pm P.T./5pm E.T.?
Surely you jest.

Nintendo getting AAA titles over a decade past their original release lol. Used to bother me back then because I thought i was missing out, but now I think it’s kind of cool. My backlog has always been a dozen years long, I wasn’t gonna get around to Arkham asylum before 2022 even if I bought them back in the day.

Edit: apparently the Wii U actually got some Batman titles. I guess I just never cared oops gonna keep playing games from 1999

 

[ov3rkill]

I hope it's not a cloud game. I mean they already got some of it ported to the WiiU.

it wont be streaming only since a retailer leaked, if a retailer leaked it has to have a physical edition be it just a code in the box or a cartridge, so something streaming wouldnt be released on store shelves.

only kingdom hearts on retailers is the rhythm game which is not streaming, and yeah no streaming game was ever retail released up until now. and doesnt make much sense doing a streaming game physical release lol.
They are only on eshop.
