Both KOTOR Games Are Digital Only In Star Wars Heritage Pack Physical Release

thegamer.com:

The Star Wars Heritage Pack, a collection of seven older Star Wars games, is getting a physical release on Nintendo Switch. It includes both of the KOTOR games, but for whatever reason, they aren't actually on the Switch cartridge. Instead, anyone with the game will still have to get them via a digital download.

The other five games, including The Force Unleashed and Jedi Academy, will be included in the box, and won't require an additional download. The collection is also significantly cheaper to pick up physically than it is on digital storefronts, with the Heritage Pack open for pre-order at $59.99, as opposed to its original price of $79.99 on the eShop.

While this is a huge saving, there's some disappointment with the KOTOR games not being included on the cartridge, particularly since a bulky game like The Force Unleashed is. It's not clear why the KOTOR games were singled out in this way, but they're at least made accessible through the physical release - so long as you have the internet connection required to install them.

Here's the full list of Star Wars games included in the Heritage Pack.

There's no word on the Star Wars: Heritage Pack getting a physical launch on any other platforms. Right now, a collection with the same name is available on PlayStation, but it doesn't include either KOTOR game or The Force Unleashed. There's also no saying when or if these games will be ported to other platforms, even if it's just in a digital capacity.

The physical launch comes as Aspyr and the Knights of the Old Republic series as a whole appear to be in trouble, particularly with the KOTOR Remake. Trailers for this long-awaited project
