It looks like there are two disc holders on this. Why is this exclusively offered for the Nintendo Switch version if there is no cartridge holder (and not offered with the PS4 or Xbox One version)??? null

Apparently Best Buy's photo is inaccurate. The left side has a cartridge holder, while the right side has a disc holder. You can see it in an update from the developer:

As for why it's not included with the PS4 and Xbox1 versions (since it DOES still include a disc holder), I would like to know that as well, since I do not want the Switch version of this game.

So here are some pictures of it. The outer metallic case looks amazing. The Switch cartridge holder is a thin insert plastic sheet with a molded spot for placing the cartridge. The metallic case is completely worth it for collectors. You are better off storing your Switch cartridge in the original game case.

There is a Switch Card Plastic Insert the look like an afterthought. For me it was more that I would have liked a Special Edition metallic case the size of the rest of the Switch Cases.

Could have been planned for the others and they got canceled. The second photo is obviously a mock-up. The photo should be taken down though and the description should be updated to reflect the Nintendo Switch version with cartridge.

It's a novelty item and used as an incentive for switch pre order sales.

NightwingBegins · Answer

Incentive to buy a physical copy on one of the other systems. My best guess. I bought it just for that reason alone, to store my disc copy. There's only one disc tray, btw, not 2.

Beto · Answer

My PS4 case came with a small plastic container/insert that you can put your Switch game on. It's really weak and flimsy, I'm pretty sure all the cases come with this.

JoeSmoe · Answer

This was made to hold a CD version of the game but it also comes with a plastic insert that holds a Nintendo switch cartridge in the case.

AdamHowlett · Answer

The case offers a cartridge slot on the left side, and a disc holder on the right.

Johnnybats330 · Answer

It is offered on the PS4 and Xbox. It has a Disc holder for those consoles and a cartridge holder for the Switch option.

Dirk · Answer

There's a space for a CD and a Switch cartridge. It has 2 different holders for both systems.

Dennis · Answer

They threw in a cheap plastic inlay for a Switch cartridge. It falls out every time I open the case since it is not attached in any way.

Harvey · Answer

There’s a cartridge holder for the switch game and disc holder for PS4 and Xbox one disc. They trying to promote the switch version.

Skorros · Answer

There is an insert for the Switch cart that can be held in place with clips or more securely with a dab of hot glue or super glue.

Brandino · Answer

The case has a built in cd holder on the right side, but a removeable/cheap insert for the switch game on the left side

ReiRei · Answer

It's one disc holder but yeah, this isn't really for the Switch version. There IS a plastic insert that can house a Switch cartridge but it;s so crappy I almost thought of throwing it out.

Novobox typically makes PS4/XBox cases so I guess they never got the memo/got it late that the case was supposed to also house a Switch cart so they had to come up with a last minute solution.

GDoobah · Answer

There was a space for my Switch game card.

BillP · Answer

There is a seprate plastic slip that houses the cart that fits in the case pretty snug. It also acts as a regluar disc case as well.

Mjh875k · Answer

There is a cartridge holder but when you open the case it’s a plastic sheet that pulls out which has the cartridge holder engraved. It also supports a CD for the PS4 and Xbox 1 Version. I know it’s a switch exclusive case but it works for whatever version of the game you own.

Jayster · Answer

it has a disk holder and a cart holder.

Robertpar72 · Answer

A cartridge holder is included with it for the switch

Ringo · Answer

This metal case provides one disk holder and a plastic insert to hold the Switch game cart. The Switch game holder is a loose plastic insert which isn't very nice. If you have the PS4 or XboxOne version of the game this case should work fine. Also, the spine isn't a true "steelbook", as it has a visible hinge so factor that when purchasing this item

Deadie · Answer

Your guess is as good as mine. I own it and can confirm it was really made for Xbox/PS4 game discs in mind.

AdDwAiTyA · Answer

Actually the one I received in store contains both a disk holder (right) and the switch cartridge holder (left). I actually thought the same thing when I received it because of its size.

Gameset · Answer

To answer your question it does have a cartridge holder, it has an insert in the inside of the steelbook on the left where you can fit a Switch cartridge, made of very hard plastic, on the right it can hold a disc, there are other collector editions out there of this game from the kick starter campaign where some included soundtracks ect. Hope this was helpful.

JNA8117 · Answer

Its dual sided so you can put your xbox or ps4 copy in it as well as the switch cart on another side. As far as i know it was only given out if you pre order the switch version but some stores have left overs and are selling them for $15.

VoltageSky · Answer

There is a separate tray inside the Steelbook for a singular Switch cartridge.

KelB · Answer

My Steelbook for the Switch game, Bloodstained, looks to be made for general blu-rays, but there is a plastic insert add on inside on the left, opposite the blu-ray holder that secures the Switch Cartridge. It looks clean and works well.

Slider · Answer

This case holds both disc and cartridge.

blokbyblok · Answer

It should come with a detachable plastic sleeve that fits into the steelbook. The plastic sleeve has a spot to hold the switch cartridge.

Bones · Answer

I got a plastic insert to hold the Switch cartridge with the case. It looks weird and cheap, but you may be able to get one at the store for free.

AlexV · Answer

It comes with a plastic insert inside that will hold the Nintendo cartridge as well as the disc hubs to place the disc in for other versions.

Spike26268 · Answer

There is a cartridge holder for the switch inaide the steelbook. Sucks if yours didn't come with one but mine most definitely did

Robert · Answer

There is an insert on the left hand side for a Switch cartridge, not sure why it wasn't offered for other consoles.

GhostGamer · Answer

The switch version is downgraded in graphics to keep it performant my best guess is they want want to push switch sales that may have been damaged by the future reviews and comparisons that might impact the sales of this problem. They use any left over steelbook cases from their kickstarter (hence limited supply) to help entice consumers to buy this version of the game. Steelbooks are usually ordered in bulk quantities by the factory you dont just order 1 to print you usually order them in bulk of 100s/500s/1000s. The PS4 and Xbox versions have great graphics and didn't need the weight of the steelbooks to meet its sales

Paul · Answer

The image on the site is wrong. One side has a disc holder and the other has an insert for a switch cart holder. I think it’s silly that they don’t give it out with the PS4/Xbox versions too.

Darkrodimus · Answer

there is a cartridge holder on one side and a disk holder on the other

Johnnyb771 · Answer

This case has both. On the right side is the disc holder for a PS4 or XBOX one disc and on the other is a plastic insert with a switch cutout where the Switch cartridge fits. Also the case is large not custom sized to Switch, but the Artwork is awesome Hope this helps

Videt · Answer

IT does have an insert for a switch game or an optical disk.

Alex · Answer

The case includes a plastic insert to hold the Switch cartridge along with a CD. The plastic insert is very poor quality and doesn't even stay in place inside the case.

btonxgames718 · Answer

I had the same question but if you looked at the kickstarter website the steelbook actually has a switch slot It just not displayed in the best buy website,it is well worth picking up very nice might just be my best steelbook in my collection.

ThornyRose · Answer

There's a clear plastic piece that can hold the switch game. My guess is to entice people to buy since the XBOX One and PS4 version were released earlier. For a lot of people, it may very well be the second copy of the copy they are buying.

BrainWav · Answer

There's a cartridge holder which just kind of sits in the case. It's a lazy design and seems to have been an afterthought.

“It looks like there are two disc holders on this. Why is this exclusively offered for the Nintendo Switch version if there is no cartridge holder (and not offered with the PS4 or Xbox One version)???”
