This discussion revolves around the upcoming availability of a major collection on new gaming systems and examines the possibility of variations in its content across different platforms.

Even though an official statement has not yet been issued, , recent trends in bringing well-known franchises to a broader range of platforms suggest that the collection is likely to be available on the latest PlayStation and Nintendo systems at some point. Some observers, however, have expressed concerns that the experience on these new systems may not match the complete version currently available on certain consoles and PC.

A guest on a popular podcast noted uncertainty regarding whether the version released on platforms outside of the original ecosystem will contain every installment in the series. This comment was made during a discussion that coincided with an upcoming presentation for one of the new systems, implying that the remark might specifically relate to that platform's version.

  • There is speculation that the versions for the PlayStation and Nintendo systems could potentially omit one of the games in the collection.
  • It is suggested that this decision might be deliberate, allowing for a later re-release or refreshed version of the missing title.
  • The collection is currently available on older console generations, PC, and the most recent generation of a leading console family.

This situation leaves fans curious about how future releases might differ and whether subsequent updates or remastered editions will eventually expand the collection on all platforms.
