For those interested in what the Generation Pack looks like, look no further! First it comes with a slip cover which is more or less what you’d expect “They’re game key cards and here’s all the required legal text we have to include on the back!” That that off and it’s like what the front of the slip cover depicts a “leather bound book”. Obviously it’s cardboard but I think you get the point. All three games are then tucked away in this in inner box, which interestingly the inside of this inner box, has what I’m assuming are supposed to be images for the three games, did my best to take a picture of each side of the inside of this box. It looks like the inside of the front and back of the box are images for 7 (the mansion) and 8 (the village and castle) with the spine being something for Requiem. Cool but really bizarre, I don’t want to open mine up (bottom of this inner box is glued and the spin can actually be opened. As for the games, ch has its own case and each has Capcom, why? They slapped reverse cover art that you may not want to use… They slapped their warranty and legal text on half the artwork, I’ve included 7’s so you can see what I mean.
Cool for us that want to collect physical copies of the games we want but with some questionable choices.

Every single game is a key card? That’s insane.

It’s a neat idea but huge bummer about the game key cards. Would have definitely bought this if not for that.

Ordered from Best Buy mine still hasn’t shipped 😭

I feel like 7 and 8 can fit on 64 gig cards without it costing that much, and speed cannot be considered an issue when a Steam Deck has been running those games with an SD card without much fuss.

Damn, it looks so nice. The key card is definitely a deal breaker, though. I’ll pick it up on PS5 or Series X. Awesome that the last two are available on Switch 2, though! Based on Capcom sales, we’ll be able to pick up each individually for $9.99 or less in the next few years. Enjoy man! Haven’t played Requium yet, but I loved 7 & 8.

I had mine delivered by Best Buy on Tuesday… Shhh 🤫

Make sure you tell Aunt Rhodey

I preordered at Best Buy for in-store pickup and they haven’t gotten their shipment of games yet. Ugh. Been seeing everywhere people having issues with their preorders delayed or canceled. Crazy how this release got so fucked up.

I missed when games had colored manuals

This is just a waste of plastic!

Bought this and wondering why key cards are deal breakers? What’s the other choice for Switch 2 besides digital?

I waited a day too long to order the set and now they’re all sold out. No in-store inventory anywhere.
PrincipledBeef
Having not played any RE in the past can I jump right into these games?

Can someone explain to me the concern around key card? Isn’t it the same to games which I own on Steam? I don’t see people complains about it

Mine arrived damaged from Amazon because it was shipped in a flimsy bag that offered almost zero protection. I contacted support and they told me I can keep it and they refunded me.
KooTheBird
If only this wasn’t impossible to get your hands on 🙃
Quick_Hit
At least 7 and 8 come with the dlc on the keycard and dont put it on a code like ps4 and xbox does.

hate that they’re game key cards

It was so stupid to get in Canada that I ended up just buying it digitally. EbGames was super negative basically claimed they dont have any or many extra past preorders. Walmart didn’t even get a switch 2 version of requiem. Best buy had NONE as-well. They let me know they were stocked and were sold out of Ps5 at every stop I went to. I would have thought it to be more accessible than that. I am in a sizeable Canadian city too and have never had this issue with a release.

I understand the concept of key cards, but for something collectible like this it drastically reduces the value. You’re basically buying a box of plastic that contains no game data. Pretty lame.

I really wish Resident Evil games has nicer cover arts.
FauxHollow
I really hope these restock. Playing requiem on ps5 now and it’s so good i want to restart at 7 right after on switch to see how good a handheld can run them.
BenDante
Fuck game key cards.
Background_Entry_541
I defenitely dont blame anyone for not getting it. The more people that dont get it then the bigger chance they have of going away. I am not that strong. Just got mine. Super happy with it

Amazon just confirmed my order was canceled🙌🏾
TheAmazingJeckel
I honestly didn’t know requiem was already released.

Ya cant believe the game key card hype. Ff7 wirh a magic pack now this. Oh well I can say for certain deprecating asset vs physical
BenchMasterHeneryHo
The pack is nice but ofc they are gkc. Would have picked this up otherwise. Still a good deal though.
ElricDarkPrince
Gross key cards
ApexGT44
Damn why are they game key cards? That’s so unfortunate
seraf5
I really don’t like the quality of the cardboard and the sleeve with the texte. I expected something more sturdy. It feels like it will eventually break just from standing on a shelf.
Farbklex
Would have loved to see all on one card. If the games are key cards anyway, why can’t they combine them?

That looks lame. Sleeve could have had some texture to it and nicer cardboard when you’re getting key cards.

It’s a game box 🤷♂️
