Fans of the Oddworld series can now take a trio of eccentric games with them on the go as a single product. Oddworld Inhabitants and Microids have released the Oddworld Collection on the Nintendo Switch. The collection is available in the flesh at retailers such as Amazon and Best Buy for $59.99.
The Oddworld Collection includes three games from the franchise: Oddworld: New N’ Tasty, Oddworld: Munch’s Oddysee, and Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath. The compendium isn’t available as a digital purchase on the Nintendo eShop, though each game is available as a separate purchase for $29.99 each. Buying the collection essentially gives fans one of those games for “free.”
According to the developers, the collection will remain a Nintendo Switch exclusive. There are currently no plans to bring it to PC, PlayStation, or Xbox platforms.
The latest game in the series, Oddworld: Soulstorm, was released for PC, PlayStation 4, and PS5 in April. As what amounts to a remade version of Oddworld: Abe’s Exoddus, it’s the direct, essentially immediate sequel to New N’ Tasty (aka Abe’s Odyssey). While we’d hoped to like the reimagining of Abe’s Exoddus on modern platforms, the game ultimately left us cold and wanting much more.
