Ubisoft continues to work backwards through their Assassin's Creed lineup on the Nintendo Switch. After releasing Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag and Assassin's Creed III Remastered, yet another entry is headed to the Switch. Assassin's Creed: The Ezio Collection, originally released for Xbox One and PlayStation 4 in 2016, is coming to a Nintendo system for the first time. Collecting Assassin's Creed II, Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, and Assassin's Creed Revelations, the bundle contains all of the eponymous Ezio-era Assassin's Creed games, their DLCs, and two short story films.

This port of the game will feature touchscreen UI, an optimized HUD, HD Rumble, and handheld mode. It'll be releasing next month, on February 17th, for $39.99.

Fuck this, I can kill the pope one more time and what about Uncle Mario? Man that quote really caught me offguard, "It's a me, your uncle Mario!".

Yes, some people dont have PC/PS4 so they are the owner of Switch deserving to try it.

Yeah, I guess so

I’ve been meaning to get into these games and was about to get into them before a messy breakup with my ex boyfriend had separated me from my opportunities to play them. So I’ve been looking forward to these games coming to the Switch.

I'd hold all reservations until performance is seen but honestly why have a problem with this port when the truth is doing AC3 before these is the real crime.

AC Rogue Collection ran and looked very well on Switch

Great, we need AC1,2,3,4 and all of the others on Switch!

 

[Axido]

Cool for anyone not having played those old games already, yet I for one did and if I wanted to play them again and on the go there's going to be a Steam Deck that does that for me soon. And it's not even asking me to pay for it again.

Don't think any bitching is really productive but it's a free forum so I'll keep on posting, feel free to not read my posts

Now now kids please move this sick insult battle to DMs if is not related to the OP

3, 4, and Rogue are all on the platform already

I'd love to see a remake of 1 tbh. I think it's too dated, and needs a slightly tweaked remaster or something.

HELL YEAH FINALLY!!

And maybe give Altair a more authentic accent

Literally any time I see one of these announcements I look for it to say “cloud version” somewhere but it doesn’t so good on that! Too bad it then had to fall for the good ol’ “only one game in a Switch collection is on the cart” pitfall.

Now when can we get the first AC remastered?

 

[ApprihensivSoul]

I'd love for a "1 collection" with some of the side games like Bloodlines and Altair's Chronicles included. I've also always been a fan of some sort of structure that lets you skip to the missions in the first game, since the open world was mostly just window dressing in that one. Pretty, and usually fun, window dressing, I just didn't like the forced minigame grind between missions.

I'm currently playing through the FPS boosted Ezio Collection on XSX, awesome games.
Nice that they're coming to Switch, but I can't do 30 FPS anymore

 

[Spider_Man]

More old ports coming to the switch years later.

I mean why would you pay full price for an inferior version, when you can grab the better version for a few quid in the bargain bin.

And one more thing I didnt like about this is why its missing #1.

The first 3 were the best, as they actually had a storyline.

Don't get why craptivision are only giving gamers dribs and drabs of a story.

you already have 3,liberation,4 and rogue on the switch with this one you will get 2,brotherhood and revelations.

As for the first one, not even ubisot has ported it anywhere since release, its the only AC game stuck in ps3/xbox360 so if they didnt even port it to ps4/xb1 i highly doubt they would go for the trouble of porting it to the switch tbh, seems ubisoft wants to forget 1 exists.

HD Rumble? Nice to see this feature isn't dead and forgotten.

It's a great feature, but most games don't use it. BotW did and it was very enjoyable.

 

[Marc_LFD]

Yes, but only ac2 is on the catridge, for the other 2 they just provide a download code which is pretty lame…

These type of physical releases make it pointless to buy a hard copy since most of the content has to be downloaded.

What a shame Nintendo went down that road too so games can't just be inserted and played. : /

its not nintendo fault, most games could fit on 32gb cartriges, but devs dont like to buy them at all.
