The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered Physical Edition is Finally Back in Stock for Switch 2
Released in summer this year for Switch 2, after its unsurprising but still cool shadow drop last year for other systems, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered has been surprisingly difficult to track down for Switch 2, at least for the physical edition release. Most retailers are entirely out of stock of the game right now, in-store and online, and the scarcity has even been driving up the price for buying the game second-hand or from a third-party seller. Take a look at eBay right now, and most copies of the Switch 2 Deluxe Edition (the only version that is available for the console) are listed for $80 or more. That's $20 over the MSRP. But fortune favors the brave, or the patient, among us. The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered Deluxe Edition for Nintendo Switch 2 is back in stock and available to purchase again online. Amazon has listed the game as being "discounted" from $89.97 because of scarcity over the past few months. Listed at $59.99, the intended MSRP, there's no telling how long stock is expected to last. So, if you've been holding out and waiting to pick up the game, now is the time to buy. Even now, Amazon looks to be the only major retailer in the US to have the game in stock, with Walmart, Target, Best Buy, and GameStop showing the game as unavailable at the time of publication. So what's the deal with the Switch 2 edition being so elusive and sought after? Well, for starters, the entire game is included on the Switch 2 edition's cart. No downloads required; you can plug in and play from the start. That's especially good news for those who haven't extended their Switch 2's memory by purchasing additional storage via a microSD Express card, and don't want to have too many games installed via downloads at once. This is also yet another case of the game's scarcity feeding the appetite for it. It's hard to come by; therefore, the desire to buy it increases across the board for gamers who are a little too prone to FOMO. The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered also has plenty of extra goodies included. Alongside the base game, you'll get:Shivering Isles and Knights of the Nine story expansionsAdditional downloadable content: Fighter’s Stronghold, Spell Tomes, Vile Lair, Mehrune’s Razor, The Thieves Den, Wizard’s Tower, The Orrery and the Horse Armor PackUnique digital Akatosh and Mehrunes Dagon Armors, Weapons and Horse Armor SetsWhat Is The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered? The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is, as its name states, a remaster of 2006's The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. It's an open-world RPG that writer Travis Northup called "an awesome nostalgic adventure that recaptures most of what I loved about the 2006 original, while sanding down many of its roughest edges" in IGN's review. Northup continues on to say it's "a fantastic open-world RPG that’s aged quite well, with questlines and stories that are better than I remembered, modernizations (like the slightly improved leveling system) that remove some of the friction of the original, and loads of opportunities to make this adventure whatever you want it to be via the plentiful freedom afforded to you." Just like Northup, I personally loved my time revisiting the game, and would highly recommend anyone who loves open world RPGs. I originally played on my Xbox Series X, but I'm seriously debating picking it up for Switch 2 to play on the go as well.
