There are several special features of this collection for the Nintendo Switch that add to the value beyond just the large collection of games: Maybe just add the word “Switch” to the end or something… Special Features of Atari Flashback Classics By just calling it Atari Flashback Classics, it doesn’t set it apart from the previously released 3-volume set for Xbox One and PS4 with the same name (and with 3 times the content in a single package, you would think they would want to call some attention to that difference).

I just wish Atari would have made the branding of this edition a little less confusing. Nintendo has taken all three volumes of the Xbox One and PS4 releases and stuffed them into a single package for the diminutive Switch console. In fact, over the last several years there have been three volumes of Atari Flashback Classics (Vol 1, Vol 2, and Vol 3) for the Xbox One and PS4 consoles, and each of these volumes contain less than the 150 games contained in the Nintendo Switch release. This makes it the largest collection of retro video games ever released on any console! The full list of games included can be found here on Atari’s website. This isn’t the first retro collection of games released for Atari, not by a long shot.
