Tomb Raider I-III Remastered Starring Lara Croft - Nintendo Switch

I bought this game for my mom who loves the original Tomb Raider trilogy. She hasn't put it down since she started playing and has nearly finished the first game already. The game is faithful to the original, and being able to switch between the old and new graphics on the fly is a nice touch. Also it seems like they added a hand when you're nearby switches, items on the ground, etc. which makes grabbing those harder to see secrets a lot easier. Great investment if you're interested in playing the original Tomb Raider games, quirks and all.

Love it! Great games, very enjoyable. The graphics are incredible and I love how you can switch between new and old controls. Definitely worth the buy if you’re a Tomb Raider fan.

If you enjoyed the original trilogy of Tomb Raider games on the original PlayStation, PC, or Saturn (TR1), then you'll love this version of these classic games. Each game features the original versions of the games, with toggles for the classic and remastered looks. Each version is now consistent with the PC versions. For example, saving can be done anywhere, whereas save crystals were required in the console versions of TR1 and 3. In addition, all extra PC-exclusive expansion packs are included in this release. So, in a sense, this is like buying four games for the price of one! All in all, it's an excellent deal for Lara Croft fans young and old.

I was waiting to write this because I had heard rumblings that despite the game saying it was version 1.05 it didn't have the final patch. I was hoping this wasn't true, but a patch has been released (2.7 GB so it's not small and I wanted the game to run off the cart, which was my whole point of buying this) and while it fixes mostly small things (the BIG one here is without the patch you MAY - keyword MAY - not definite - get soft locked in the final level of the first game, which, of course, the one game in the package I care about has the big potential flaw, figures). I'm really annoyed because I thought the reason why putting of making the physical edition was to, you know, get the entire thing fixed so the physical edition could be used for archival reasons. I mean yeah, I get I have the patch now, and if Nintendo's services for the Switch online carry over to it's successor that will help as well, but what about 20 years down the road? I just wanted a complete copy of my favorite and first 3D platformer on the cart in a complete state and it's like, no - you can't have nice things. I guess I'll buy it again in the future when it's released for newer consoles with the hope of it being more future proof. I wasn't gonna buy the future IV-VI remaster prior to a physical for it being made for it but now I may not bother.

Original PS game turned to Nintendo version. The keys are little different and kind of hard to figure it out first but super fun and nostalgic game for me.
