Star Wars: Heritage Pack Physical Edition Preorder Costs $20 Less Than Switch eShop Price

A physical version of the Star Wars: Heritage Pack for Nintendo Switch is set to launch on December 8. The seven-game bundle collects Switch ports of some of the best classic Star Wars video games for just $60--which is $20 cheaper than the $80 digital version that launched in April.

$40 (was $60)

The physical edition of Star Wars: Heritage Pack typically sells for $60. Oddly enough, the digital version of the Star Wars: Heritage Pack still goes for $80 on the Switch eShop. In comparison, the physical edition was already a bargain at full price, but now you're getting a 50% discount over the digital edition.

Star Wars: Heritage collection pulls together seven classic Star Wars games:

• Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy
• Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast
• Star Wars Episode I Racer
• Star Wars Republic Commando
• Star Wars: The Force Unleashed
• Knights of the Old Republic (Downloadable)
• Knights of the Old Republic 2 (Downloadable)

While the price difference makes the Star Wars: Heritage Pack physical edition a better deal than the digital version, it is worth noting that only some of the games are included on the cartridge. The Force Unleashed, Jedi Knight 2, Jedi Academy, Republic Commando, and Star Wars Racer are all playable directly from the cart, while Knights of the Old Republic 1 and 2 are downloadable content, so you'll need internet access and enough storage space on your Switch to play them.

That may disappoint some players who prefer to have all the content on the cartridge, but the upshot is you're getting seven awesome Star Wars games, most of them physically, and for $20 less than buying the pack on the Switch eShop.
