Mortal Kombat’s Legacy Kollection Might Actually Get A Proper Physical Release On Switch 2
By Bulletin []: It’s confirmed! Digital Eclipse has unveiled a trailer that verifies the complete boxed release of Mortal Kombat: Legacy Collection is coming to both Switch and Switch 2.
The Switch 2 rendition is delivered 100 % on the cartridge—a major win for physical-media enthusiasts.
Reservations can now be placed on the Atari store, with the physical sets slated to dispatch on 12th December 2025. In addition, a Kollector’s Edition exists: it bundles a Goro controller stand, a hard-bound art book, a lore compendium, and collectible arcade tokens. Limited Run Games is producing this premium bundle for $149.99.
The Deluxe Edition will set you back $79.99 (or $69.99 on the original Switch) and still packs value—featuring a steelbook, enamel magnet, re-printed arcade flyers, trading cards, and several extra goodies.
Initial Report: A fresh batch of Game-Key Card releases was just revealed for Switch 2 after Nintendo’s Partner Showcase. Although this distribution model shows no signs of disappearing, some third-party publishers are opting out.
A newly-spotted product entry indicates that Digital Eclipse—the studio renowned for resurrecting classic game libraries—will ship the forthcoming Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection on a single, complete cartridge. This detail surfaced on Video Games Plus, a Canadian seller of boxed games.
The retailer’s socials emphasize that the Nintendo Switch 2 edition is resident on the card itself, while a product page advertises a Deluxe Edition at CAD $114.99 that adds “a steelbook plus unannounced exclusives.”
Video Games Plus: “Preorders are now live on Day 1 & Deluxe Editions of Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection Nintendo Switch, PS5, and NSW2 (Game on Cart)”
Both the standard (CAD $79.99) and deluxe variants are available to reserve on the same site, yet neither page clarifies whether the entire title ships on cart. If that point matters to you, it may be wise to wait for more formal word.
To date, only a modest number of third-party Switch 2 games have come entirely on the game card. A prime example is CD Projekt Red’s Cyberpunk 2077, whose creators emphasized the importance of physical media and warned against undervaluing disc-and-cart editions.
