Okay, here’s my story about getting “Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered” on my Switch.
So, I heard that they finally released a physical edition of “Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered” for the Switch. You know, I’m a huge fan of the old Tomb Raider games, played them all back in the day. I saw this news that they were doing a remaster and thought, “Hell yeah, I gotta get my hands on that!”
First thing I did was check out their official announcement. They were all like, “Play the original three Tomb Raider adventures with all expansions and secret levels in this definitive collection.” And I was sold, right then and there. This remaster includes the first three games, plus all the extra stuff that came out later. Pretty sweet deal if you ask me.
I went to find where I could buy it. These days, it’s all about online stores, so I browsed a few of my usual go-to spots. Finally found a copy and, boom, placed my order. While waiting, I started digging around for any patches or updates. You know how it is with remasters, sometimes they need a little extra love after they come out.
Came across this forum, a Tomb Raider subreddit, where people were discussing everything about the game. Found a thread talking about the modern controls in the remaster. I gotta admit, I was a little worried they might have messed with the controls too much. But, thankfully, the forum had a full guide on all the new controls for each platform. That was a relief! It looked like they did a good job of updating them without losing the feel of the originals.
Then I found another post saying that “Patch 3 is available now for Tomb Raider I-III Remastered on all platforms.” Sweet! Downloaded that right away. It’s always a good idea to grab the latest patches, especially with remasters. I also found a website with a bunch of tools for the original Tomb Raider game, like FMV viewer, trainers, and older patches. It’s cool that those are still out there.
A few days later, my copy of the game arrived. Ripped that package open like it was Christmas morning. Popped the cartridge into my Switch and fired it up. Man, seeing that old-school Lara Croft, but all shiny and new, was a real blast from the past.
The game runs great on the Switch, and the updated graphics look fantastic. They really did a great job staying true to the original while still making it look good on modern hardware. I’ve been playing through the first game, and it feels just like I remember, but even better.
- Check for updates: Always make sure you have the latest patches installed.
- Read reviews: See what other players are saying about the game.
- Enjoy the nostalgia: Reliving those classic gaming moments is what it’s all about.
So, if you’re a fan of the old Tomb Raider games or just looking for a great action-adventure game on the Switch, I definitely recommend checking out “Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered.” It’s a perfect blend of nostalgia and modern gaming. They don’t make ’em like this anymore, you know? I’m gonna be busy with this one for a while!
