Criterion Games' action-packed racing titleBurnout ParadiseÂoriginally launched in 2008.Burnout Paradise Remasteredwas then announced in 2018and saw the game come to PC, Xbox One, and PS4 and also saw usreview the title. Now,ÂBurnout ParadiseÂis heading to the Nintendo Switch, but according to an eShop image, it’ll be releasing soon and for a hefty price.At current, EA’seShop page for Burnout Paradise Remasteredstates that the title will be launching on the Switch sometime in 2020. However,Wario64on Twitter noticed the US eShop page on the console itself lists the date. I’ve visited the US eShop store with my Switch and can confirm that the date listed is estimated for August 19, 2025. Additionally, the price for a game that’s over 10 years old sits at $49.99.
The game’s debut to the Nintendo Switch will find players exploring an open-world and enjoying smashing things with the damage mechanics. It’ll come with the base game as well as 8 main DLC packs. There are over 130 vehicles to drive around and some new areas to explore.
The game also has online play capabilities which will require a Nintendo Switch Online account but will allow players to not only play online with strangers and friends but take part in online-exclusive challenges. The description states thatÂBurnout Paradise RemasteredÂruns on the Nintendo Switch at 60FPS and includes touchscreen elements with the map control, allowing players to pinch to zoom in and out of the map. I also imagine that the news we saw back in 2018 about theremastered version not containing microtransactionswill remain the same.
Burnout Paradise RemasteredÂalso looks like it’ll take up around 3.9GB. EA has announced yesterday thatCrysis Remastered is heading to the Switch,so it’ll be interesting to see the file size comparisons between the two games. That’s just my inner nerd talking though.
I’m personally really excited to see this heading to the Nintendo Switch, but that price range cuts a little deep. What are your thoughts surrounding the upcoming release?
