Oh great, we get to put up with Claptrap too.
http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/53297/2k-launching-three-new-collections-on-switch-may-29
2K will be loading up on Switch at the end of May.
Three different 2K-published collections will launch on May 29: The Borderlands Legendary Collection (including 1, 2, and "The Pre-Sequel"), BioShock Collection (1, 2, and Infinite), and XCOM 2 Collection (XCOM 2, its DLC, and War of the Chosen).
Each package will retail for US$49.99, with the Borderlands digitally being split between the GOTY edition of the original and the Handsome Collection (2+Pre-Sequel) and the Bioshock games sold separately. Borderlands will come with a 8GB card containing Borderlands 1 GOTY (with a 6.6GB download required) and a code for the Handsome Collection (35GB), XCOM 2 will have a 8GB card with the opening missions and a total footprint of less than 24GB, while Bioshock's physical package will have the early missions of the 3 games on a 16GB card and no specifics on the necessary size of the full games.
Wow, I'll be getting ALL THREE of these! I haven't played ANY of these storied AAA franchises, so as a Nintendo-centric gamer I'm LOVING the games that are finally coming to the Nintendo ecosystem.
I'm most interested in BioShock, so I may be checking that out.
It's odd they're dropping all three at once. You'd think they'd space them out.

Hopefully that means they will be bargain priced and not full price. Charging full price will grind a halt to my shopping spree until there is a sale.

Looks like they're all $50 (US). I was hoping for something like $40, but it still feels like a deal for three BioShock games.
* BioShock Infinite
The physical game contains an 16GB cartridge including the opening acts of BioShock Remastered, BioShock 2 Remastered, and BioShock Infinite: The Complete Edition. Later game contents and add-ons will need to be downloaded.
* Borderland
The physical game contains an 8GB cartridge that features Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition, with a 6.6GB download required. For Borderlands 2 and Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel a 35GB download is required
* XCOM 2
The physical game contains an 8GB cartridge that features two base game missions. A download is required for the rest of the Total download size will not exceed 24GB.
"Borderlands 2: Commander Lilith & the Fight for Sanctuary add-content not included."
Does this mean anything of significance?

The Bioshock games are ridiculously cheap used on the PS3 and Xbox 360. Like $5 range for each of them. Obviously not applicable if you don't own those systems or specifically want portable versions but $50 seems pricey.
even if you don't care as much about Physical vs Digital, if you're someone who buys alot of games, The Switch just doesn't have the storage to make digital an option for alot of these games unless you want to shell out for expensive high capacity SD cards so you're gonna have to go physical but than games like this make going physical worthless so you're basically out of luck.
