They attempt to find the pieces of the Vault Key and eventually open the Vault, though something more than treasure lies inside. The original Borderlands came out back in 2009 and saw four Vault Hunters arrive in the town of Fyrestone on the planet Pandora after the Dahl Corporation abandoned the planet. If you have the physical version your mileage may vary. In addition, if you don’t want to purchase the collection for $49.99, you can actually buy the original Borderlands separately for $29.99 and Borderlands: The Handsome Collection for $39.99. However, the three games come as separate downloads which is nice as you can download them one at a time if you wish to save space. To start off, the review code I received for this review was for the digital version on the eShop which contained all three games. Now it’s time to sit back and let Uncle Marcus tell you a few tales in the Borderlands Legendary Collection.
When the Borderlands Legendary Collection was announced for the Nintendo Switch, I was elated that we were finally getting Borderlands, Borderlands 2, and Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel not only on a Nintendo console, but portable as well (though Borderlands 2 was on the PS Vita).
While the Borderlands games have graced the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PC, OS X, and even Android and iOS (Tales From the Borderlands only) over the past decade, we’ve never seen the vault hunters on a Nintendo system…until now.
Over those past 11 years we’ve seen the Borderlands franchise succeed and grow with four main-series games and a spin-off.
It’s been 11 years since Marcus told us his first story about The Vault on the planet Pandora and the four brave vault hunters who went searching for it.
