It appears that Nintendo's way of responding to Valve's release of the Steam Deck is to get as many third-party games and ports to the Nintendo Switch. At the most recent Nintendo Direct showcase, the Japanese video game company revealed a handful of games that are coming to their portable platform, including Valve's Portal series.
Many consider Valve's pair of Portal games from 2007 and 2011 as some of the best pieces of gaming in history. However, this is the first time that both will be available on a Nintendo console.
Unfortunately, Nintendo did not reveal when the Portal: Companion Collection is going to be released for the Nintendo Switch. But, Valve did clarify that the two games won't cost an arm and a leg. Instead, the Companion Collection will be available for just $19.99 with support for local, online, and even split-screen co-op.
It certainly feels like Portal's arrival on the Nintendo Switch has been a long time coming. We included Valve's pair of physics-based puzzle shooters on our list of low-spec PC games last year and things haven't changed since. Ever since their launch, both Portal games have become the go-to example of gamers who want to prove you can run games on a $500 gaming PC and still get an award-winning experience.
