Great deal if you missed out on the Black Friday $15 sale at Walmart.

I've heard these run pretty poorly on the Switch. Any feedback?

Didn't even know it was $15 at Walmart. This price has been on and off since BF at Gamestop for sure. Good series of games, get it if you haven't played or own a version of it (ps3, Xbox, or pc), or just wanna support the developers.

No worries, this years BF sales were confusing how they were split up.

Play these if you haven't. A great bit of gaming history without the pain of archaic graphics or UI. A gem. Three, in fact.

You'll never see Disneyland the same way again. (At least not the inspirational quotes posted on all the construction walls that would fit perfectly in Rapture)

A must have, much better than any overpriced crap indie games on the Switch.

I have the original version on PS3 (1&2), Xbox 360 (Infinite), the remastered collection on Xbox One and on Switch. As far as I can tell, the Infinite was dropping frames very often and noticeably, especially in the last chapter, the air battleship battle. PS3 versions are Okay but probably because of the graphics being relatively simple compared to the Infinite on Xbox 360. The Switch and One collections are almost identical, and I couldn't tell very noticeable frame rate or graphics differences.

30 fps on Switch just like the Borderlands games. If you've never played these before, then play the 60 fps remastered versions on PS4/X1/PC instead of this. If Switch is all you have and you want portability, then this version is fine for the price.

To put into perspective, these are usually about this price per game on the eShop, but the remastered collection on PS4 (Playstation Store) usually goes on sale for around $10.

Finished a playthrough of Infinite during a business trip last month and thought it ran great considering the Switch's hardware. Definitely would run better on my home desktop/PS4 but I usually don't travel with those!

I guess if you want to play it now, or are often on the go but have downtime, or even if you have one computer in the house and siblings to share it with- but still have a switch - I can see the justification of buying this... but it just seems like most people would be generally better off buying it when it's on sale via Steam. Also just easier to go back to it on Steam vs when switch an old console... not to mention how easy it is to lose switch games

The PC ports of Bioshock series are known to have more technical glitches because the source codes were originally programmed and compiled for PowerPC architecture. Xbox One and PS4, though are based on an X86 architecture, still retain some native compatibilities for PowerPC executables at a lower level built into the system. Just an FYI.
