Four years since the Grandia HD Collection was released for Switch and PC, the game is finally arriving on PlayStation and Xbox consoles. The Grandia HD Collection includes the first two titles in the franchise, Grandia 1 and Grandia 2, with revamped graphics, widescreen, and support for new languages.
2 Xbox Games Announced for Nintendo Switch
21.02.2024 - 20:47 / comingsoon.net / Nintendo
The Nintendo Direct on February 21 showcased third-party games coming to Switch. This includes two previously Xbox-exclusive games from Microsoft subsidiary Obsidian Entertainment. Pentiment and Grounded are two of the four Xbox games releasing on non-Microsoft platforms, and one of them is coming very soon.
Obsidian Entertainment’s Pentiment will be the first arrival on Switch, releasing on Thursday, February 22. The unique adventure game takes players to early 1500s Germany. Players assume the role of Andreas Maler, an illustrator, called an illuminator, tasked with finishing the illustrations on a religious manuscript. However, when someone murders his patron, Maler must use his cunning to find the culprit. Part of what makes Pentiment stand out is its graphical design, which draws inspiration from medieval illuminated manuscripts. It initially launched on Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC in 2022.
The other Obsidian Entertainment title coming to Nintendo Switch is the 2022 co-op multiplayer survival game Grounded. Inspired by the Disney comedies Honey, I Shrunk the Kids and A Bug’s Life, the game follows four teenagers who have been mysteriously shrunk down to the size of insects. Trapped in a backyard, they must survive the hostile microecosystem while solving the mystery of how they got there in the first place. Grounded’s Nintendo Switch port launches on April 16.
Additionally, Nintendo Switch Online is getting several games from Xbox Subsidiary Rare. Granted, all of these games predate Microsoft’s acquisition of Rare in 2002 and debuted on earlier Nintendo consoles. The games in question are 1988’s RC Pro-AM, 1990’s Snake Rattle N Roll, 1993’s Battletoads in Battlemaniacs, 1995’s SNES version of Killer Instinct, and 1997’s Blast Corps.
