They finally did it yes ! I have a lot of nostalgia for the OG Tomb Raider games. I hope there will be a physical copy with all the games on the actual game card too !
Of course they will because that is exactly what Nintendo is doing for all of the remastered collections. :) Examples: Grandia I & II HD Remastered Collection Grand Theft Auto Trilogy Remastered Collection Dragon Quest I, II & III Remastered Collection Final Fantasy Pixel Remastered Collection I, II III, IV, V, & VI Mana Collection (Final Fantasy Adventure, Secret of Mana, & Trials of Mana) Chrono Cross Remastered We will definitely have physical copies to buy for this Trilogy!!!

This is such a win for the fans of the classic era of Tomb Raider games! Words can not describe my happiness. Big shout out to everyone who is pouring their hearts into this project. A guaranteed pre-order here. This franchise was my childhood. I hope everyone gives this huge support. Would love to see Chronicles & The Last Revelation ported at a later date & perhaps a remake of The Angel of Darkness in the form of the imagined trilogy they had hoped for in the early 2000s ❤️🤞 thank you so much for this gift & for supporting the preservation of the true treasure that is this franchise ❤
I'm pretty sure this is some "test" run so if this sells well, they'll most likely release TLR, Chronicles and AOD too. I'm also hoping for Legend, Anniversary and Underworld to be ported over too at some point.
@@CyberIce2000I am desperate for Legend, anniversary and underworld to come to switch. It’s my all time fave ones, although I grew up with these so I’m so hyped too 😊
My mouth literally dropped! I have been itching to play the original trilogy! I love that the updated graphics portray a cleaner look of how Lara looked in cutscenes during that time. So cool the game comes out on Lara’s birthday lol.
Yeah. I noticed how the game has a new HD coat of point but said coat of paint is very very faithful to the original aesthetic. I mean.. given that there's a retro mode at the switch of a button, it's the old game running ontop of the new graphics a la Wonder Boy, so.. yeah. The same old game but new coat of paint which isn't terribly bad.
Same. I expected this after Crash and Spyro but it's been so long I kinda stopped. I'll say though based on the trailer Lara looks great but they probably could have improved the textures and scenery a bit more.
I can’t stop watching this! So happy! I remember getting the first game for Christmas in 96 when I was 5 years old and now I’m 32 and could not be more excited to jump back in! Wanted these for years and never thought we’d get them after all the waiting but here we are. Thank you to the team behind this. You’ve made so many fans happy! LONG LIVE LARA ❤️
Same here man 32 bern playing since 6-7 when i played the first 2 games, it wasn't until I was 18 did i experience the masterpiece that is TR 3, all perfect games, couldn't have hoped for a better 3 games in the series to come out 🎉😁
@@talestalento2911 Almost 35 here. I made it pretty far in tomb raider 1 and 2 but always got stuck. Got really stuck in tomb raider 3. I actually managed to beat 4 somehow lol. Was very proud of myself. No guides or help or any of that jazz but man i think my playtime was crazy high. 75 percent of the time I was stuck. Feels amazing when you figure a way forward in these games. They dont hold your hand at all which I frickin love. Wish more games were designed the way CORE did these great classics. Cant wait to dive in and try again. Will I beat them all now? Time will tell.
29 here, and use to watch my mum play these games. I eventually ended up playing them all later on. Such great games, and can't wait to play these remasters. 😁😁
I grew up with some of these games, I'm only bummed 4 (my favourite) isn't included when it was literally the same thing with slightly better models. I'm guessing they didn't want to touch on her "death" again.
YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY! I have been wanting these games for so long on Switch! Hopefully The Last Revelation and Chronicles happen!
I'm pretty sure this is some "test" run so if this sells well, they'll most likely release TLR, Chronicles and AOD too. I'm also hoping for Legend, Anniversary and Underworld to be ported over too at some point.
Lara's finally in one of her own games again. So excited to finally get an updated look for these classics, and with the PC levels as well. What a lovely bonus. Now bring on a brand new adventure in 2025 next!
I played through tomb raider 1 last month because it was the game that got me into gaming, and it was the 25th anniversary of my first time playing. To have this announcement so close after that is one of those wonderful coincidences that sometimes happen in life.
I'll add.. I EXPECT these to come to other platforms.. The first is a Saturn/PS1/PC game.. The second and third are PS1/PC. If I was to guess, the Nintendo release is a little easier because it has no achievements system to wire up.. Where as a PS/Xbox/Steam platform release would need that work done.. I also wonder if the other 3 Core Design Tomb Raider games will get a release? The Last Revelation, Chronicles, The Angel of Darkness Maybe in another package? Similar to how Konami are treating the Metal Gear remasters?
@brianlaudrupchannel you don't need ray tracing and 4k, and a game rebuilt from the ground up, for it to be remastered. This is how I want it. Like the orignal, tweaked gameplay and the same level design. This is a retro upgrade, not a remake. You can have both things, it's 2023. There's something for everyone
@@Canthatcrazy 100 percent. If they went full on remake there is no way they would make it like originals. it would just be like the modern ones. This is exactly how to do it. Hopefully they dont fill this one with modern hand holdy bs guide posts and waypoints and giant golden glowing levers etc. Keep it old school baby.
Now this is how you preserve the OG experience and do something new. Its already been done on PC with mods. But its still cool to see this be applied to console releases and having the expansions from the PC versions.
As someone who hasn't played the original tomb raiders this is a real nice treat for me. Plus its a remastered trilogy which is nice. Cant wait to start my adventure in February.
The best TR news I’ve heard in years!! Welcome back Classic Lara!! Been such a huge fan since the original. Lara Croft has been and continues to be such a huge influence on my art career!! Thanks for this upload, I will be buying a Switch just for these games!! 🤩🤩
OH MY GOD! This is absolute perfection! I hope they release this in physical media! And I hope to see The Last Revelation, Chronicles and The Angel of Darkness receiving the same treatment. And for AoD, I'd love to see ALL the cut content finally in the game. If it was planned for AoD originally, it would be perfect to have on a re-release. And, of course, fix all of the bugs on that game.
Words cannot describe just how excited I was to see Lara Croft in this Direct. I’m _so_ happy this trilogy is coming to Switch! Thank you very much, Nintendo! I want to play it for my father. Lara was his very first game crush, and he played many Tomb Raider games back in the day. I enjoyed watching him play them as a kid. I’ll play this trilogy in his honor. No doubt about it, my father would be so proud of me. I still miss you everyday, dad… May you rest in peace… 🙏💐 Okay, Winston. Back inside the freezer. _Now!_
Fans gathered around and buy this classic so we can get more of the original tomb raider games my mouth drop open when this was announced made my day day one buy now bring remakes of the other 6 tomb raider games and I’ll be set for the next year 🙏🙏🙏
I can't tell you how many hours i spent as a kid just running around the mansion trying to escape the old butler. He would suddenly appear, and like a horror film, my bros and I would scream and run into the garden. He was always there .. following... making those old man noises 😂
This was my favorite announcement! And the fact that they're including the Expansion Packs, which have never been re-released, is all kinds of awesome!
THIS LOOKS PERFECT, I AM SO EXCITED, CLASSIC LARA FINALLY BACK & LOOKING LIKE HERSELF AGAIN, RETEXURED AND REMODELLED AREAS, AMAZING LIGHTING, EXPANSION PACKS INCLUDED AND THE OPTION TO SWITCH FROM OG GRAPHICS TO REMASTERED GRAPHICS!! PERFECTION. THANK YOU TO THE DEVS AT ASPYR TO MAKING THIS PERFECTION, I AM SO HAPPY
I never thought they’d do it. The classics still hold up surprisingly well. I always visualized a visual upgrade like this. Still looks old school, yet with a more clean polished look. AND you can switch back to the original style?? I’m done. Ya got me.
I still own and play the first five TR on my PS Vita - but will be in for these so I can have them on my switch and I like the modern visuals. Shame there is no TR4, hopefully that comes along later.
@@anemonesiac Come on - these old TR games deserve a gentle modernisation that is still true to their roots. They were decent games in their day, but are still more playable than some modern games.
My dad used to play the trilogy when I was kid and I would just sit down and watch him play. Seeing this felt very nostalgic and I might actually get into playing the games myself once they’re out on Switch. Nice one :)
I love it so much, these three videogames where a big part of my childhood so having them back and remastered makes me super happy I hope they also include Croft Manor :p
I’m screaming!!!! We’ve been asking YEARS and decades for a remaster at this point for atleast the first 3 classic TRs and the fact they added the bonus level for each game to is great! Because TR 3 the lost artifact is hard to find physically (even tho I have a copy) but it runs meh. Can’t even use a controller for it on PC for some reason so I’ll be able to finally play it with a controller! I am a little worried about Aspyr doing it though. Their ports are hit or miss tbh.
I really hope this will run well on Switch, I'm ready to jump back into TR1-2-3. I wish they remastered The Last Revelation and Chronicles too. I love how Lara looks just perfect, the way she always meant to look in-game!
The release date is Lara Croft's birthday. The Lara Croft from Tomb Raider 1, 2, 3, The Last Revelation, Chronicles and Angel of Darkness was born on February 14th 1968. The first three Tomb Raider games are set in the late 90's.
Just to remind everyone, this is NOT Switch footage. They used this same footage across all announcements for all systems. This was taken from the PC build and being ported by Aspyr. It will run at 30fps on Switch :)
OH MY GAAAAWSH!!!! My childhood!!! They finally did it! Of all the PS1 era games that deserved a remaster, this was on the top of my list. This came out of nowhere! Yes!!!!
So this is the Tomb Raider Remake 😍 I remember these games when I was a kid. But now Lara is back to be an amazing adventurer and explorer 😊 I'll be happy to share with you Nintendo 😊 Thank you so much ✨️ 😊 ☺️ ❤️ 😘
As a big Indiana Jones fan I've always wanted to playthrough the Tome Raider games but the mainline games had always been exclusive to Non-Nintendo consoles so I'm glad to see the Tome Raider mainline games come to switch!
Good stuff. Had fond memories playing them back in the days especially the first Tomb Raider game when 3D gaming was starting to take off big. Looking forward to revisiting these games again. Would also like to see them re-releasing Tomb Raider Legend, Tomb Raider Anniversary, and Tomb Raider Underworld for the modern platforms.
I wonder if the sequels to this game will also make an appearance for the Switch? The one that was released for the PS2, Xbox 360, PS3, and PC was not only a criminally overlooked game, but it was also the game that literally brought the franchise back to life. Also, if I do recall correctly, this is possibly the first time that a Tomb Raider game was made for a Nintendo system since the criminally underrated side-scrolling outing that was made for the Game Boy Color.
I doubt anything from the PS2 and beyond will make the transfer. I am surprised this didn't include Last Revelation and Chronicles as they are from the same era. But it makes sense given that they are likely following that "trilogy" pattern from remastered games like Spyro, Crash, and even GTA. Also, you are talking strictly Nintendo here, but this will also be released for PS4/5, Xbox, and on PC via Steam
Glad they kept the original look style and not actually made it look like modern graphics. I remember getting a PS1 just to play TR1, and just wanted to replay those games on a modern console
One of the more pleasing announcements of the Direct for me. Played the OG on the Saturn back in the 90's. The remake on the Wii/360 was ok but having the OG with updated visuals will be awesome. I wonder if the controls have been changed at all? 🤔
The Lord knows how long I've been waiting for this day. Lara Croft finally has a seat at the table of PlayStation mascots that received the faithful remaster treatment, such as Crash Bandicoot and Spyro, and I couldn't be happier than I am right now. It feels amazing knowing that the prayers of so many fans of the classic Tomb Raider games, myself included, have finally been answered. Having "The T-Rex (Pt. I)" play throughout the overview was a phenomenal touch, too. Nathan McCree's compositions were, are, and always will be my favorite pieces of music in the Tomb Raider franchise, right next to Peter Connelly and the London Symphony Orchestra's contributions to the soundtrack for Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness.
Oh man was a nostalgia overload this is! No Tomb Raider IV is disheartening but I'm not complaining, I've been wanting and hoping the Classic Tomb Raider games would make their way to Switch and now _it's actually happening_ HYPE!
Omg, this is literally the only thing I've ever wanted! Just bring these back with the old-school clunky controls. That's all I want! On my birthday too 😄
I hope this is not Switch only !!! 😭😭😭 I need it on PS5 !!! Physical version ! And I hope an option for "modern" movement along with Tank controls is included 🙄... hopefully this will sell well and we will get Revelations, Chronicles and Angel of Darkness next ! 😍😍😍
I hear you on the tank controls with this remaster. This was the first thing I was thinking after watching the trailer. I would be great if they add the option to have modern or classic controls with this release.
Best announcement of the direct for me! The REAL Lara Croft and true Tomb Raider gameplay is back, finally! I hope there's a physical version of switch, as I'd preorder that right now if I could.
@@mikem8733 The addition of the expansion levels is mindblowing to me. I've been dreaming about playing them forever. Finally, that dream will come true. And then the other stuff... the secret that doesn't register properly in TR1, the unreachable medipak in TR2... I just cannot wait to see what these new renditions have in store
THESE LOOK AMAZING!!! Very excited for this. I love the OG Tomb Raider games, growing up with them and loving every part of them (especially the first 3). TR II is my favourite, and I can't wait to explore these worlds again - now just need to grab myself some Nintendo lol
Cannot frickin wait. Best announcement of the show imo. They look great and I love that they seem to be very faithful, The originals are fantastic but visually are very dated and look horrible on massive TV while this version with its remaster graphics should look fine. I love that it looks to have the same control scheme too. I love the grid based design of the originals. They were done basically as puzzle exploration games with a sprinkle of action as opposed to modern tomb raider games that are modern action with a sprinkle of exploration. (hand holdy exploration at that) Physical edition of this please! :D
This is coming to Steam too! So happy to have the ability to play these classics in 16:9, high fps, with improved graphics, and without messing about with a single mod!
this is exactly what a remaster should be. not trying to reinvent the wheel, just tidying up the graphics a bit to make them acceptable by modern standards.
Atmosphere and artstyle is respected with no censorship.
Thats how you preserve the classics.
They finally did it yes ! I have a lot of nostalgia for the OG Tomb Raider games. I hope there will be a physical copy with all the games on the actual game card too !
I doubt it, sadly, although Limited Run Games might manage it somehow
Of course they will because that is exactly what Nintendo is doing for all of the remastered collections. :)
Examples:
Grandia I & II HD Remastered Collection
Grand Theft Auto Trilogy Remastered Collection
Dragon Quest I, II & III Remastered Collection
Final Fantasy Pixel Remastered Collection I, II III, IV, V, & VI
Mana Collection (Final Fantasy Adventure, Secret of Mana, & Trials of Mana)
Chrono Cross Remastered

So glad to have OG Lara back 😁 i hope this is a success so that we can get more games with THIS Lara
Nice to finally see classic Tomb Raider getting some love
The release date is Lara Croft's birthday. The Lara Croft from Tomb Raider 1, 2, 3, The Last Revelation, Chronicles and Angel of Darkness was born on February 14th 1968. The first three Tomb Raider games are set in the late 90's.
Man I remember playing the original on my ps1 when I was a kid, definitely picking this up
Waiting for years for this. A dream comes true 😍
Already preordered!!! Cannot wait, this is too exciting for someone who grew up playing these games back in the late 90s.
NOSTALGIA OVERLOAD!
Same but it sucks that we have to wait till February... 😭 I wished I could play the tomb Raiders rn
I loved playing Tomb Raider on PS1 as a kid. I had no idea what I was doing, but it was fun to play. 😆
Just to remind everyone, this is NOT Switch footage. They used this same footage across all announcements for all systems. This was taken from the PC build and being ported by Aspyr. It will run at 30fps on Switch :)
This switch trailer is longer than the other trailers. There are some shots you don't see in the other trailer.
I played all 3 of the games and never beated any of them as a kid. Nintendo Switch is becoming my favorite console of all time.
OH MY GAAAAWSH!!!! My childhood!!! They finally did it! Of all the PS1 era games that deserved a remaster, this was on the top of my list. This came out of nowhere! Yes!!!!
The best tomb raiders..., corridors, soundtracks, big scenarios... It was incredible, is a good idea to do a remastered of that games.
So this is the Tomb Raider Remake 😍 I remember these games when I was a kid. But now Lara is back to be an amazing adventurer and explorer 😊 I'll be happy to share with you Nintendo 😊 Thank you so much ✨️ 😊 ☺️ ❤️ 😘
About time they finally decided to make the old great Tomb Raider games look good!
Well at that time that was high end graphics. But it is a nice touch to polish them for nowadays hardware. Love Lara to look like in the cutscenes.
I can't believe it's finally happening! 😍
It is literally exactly what I wanted! 🥺
0:48 I like how when he said "upgraded visuals" it switched to Lara's upgraded assets
Muito legal ver os clássicos de Tomb Raider no Switch, seria top a versão física tbem ❤❤❤
Us Tomb Raider fans have had to wait SO long for these omg, I could cry 😭
Omg the T-Rex part has a skybox now 😂
I genuinely can't wait to replay these games! They were such an awesome part of my childhood 😃
Finally !? I wished for this remaster for years, qnd we get all of them in one game, nice
I cannot believe i'll actually be able to play the expansions of these amazing games! On my Switch, too! Sooooooo hype!
_sees Lara's remastered model_
Now these... THESE. ARE. *BREATS.*
EU NÃO ACREDITO !!! Meu sonho se tornando realidade de jogar Tomb Raider no Switch !!! Traz os demais tbm, nunca te pedi nada Nintendo 🥰
As a big Indiana Jones fan I've always wanted to playthrough the Tome Raider games but the mainline games had always been exclusive to Non-Nintendo consoles so I'm glad to see the Tome Raider mainline games come to switch!
Good stuff. Had fond memories playing them back in the days especially the first Tomb Raider game when 3D gaming was starting to take off big.
Looking forward to revisiting these games again.
Would also like to see them re-releasing Tomb Raider Legend, Tomb Raider Anniversary, and Tomb Raider Underworld for the modern platforms.
I wonder if the sequels to this game will also make an appearance for the Switch? The one that was released for the PS2, Xbox 360, PS3, and PC was not only a criminally overlooked game, but it was also the game that literally brought the franchise back to life. Also, if I do recall correctly, this is possibly the first time that a Tomb Raider game was made for a Nintendo system since the criminally underrated side-scrolling outing that was made for the Game Boy Color.
I doubt anything from the PS2 and beyond will make the transfer. I am surprised this didn't include Last Revelation and Chronicles as they are from the same era. But it makes sense given that they are likely following that "trilogy" pattern from remastered games like Spyro, Crash, and even GTA.
Also, you are talking strictly Nintendo here, but this will also be released for PS4/5, Xbox, and on PC via Steam
@@mydnyghtamethyst why not? Switch is more powerful than ps3 and Xbox360,so ps2 and beyond games are very possible
Glad they kept the original look style and not actually made it look like modern graphics. I remember getting a PS1 just to play TR1, and just wanted to replay those games on a modern console
I grew up playing these games on the PS1. What a time that was, and it makes me really happy to play them again.
will this release as a physical too? I really hope so
One of the more pleasing announcements of the Direct for me. Played the OG on the Saturn back in the 90's. The remake on the Wii/360 was ok but having the OG with updated visuals will be awesome. I wonder if the controls have been changed at all? 🤔
Physical preorder release please?
I can't believe it. These games were huge in my childhood, especially II 😮
I have been waiting YEARS for this. Praise Natla
The Lord knows how long I've been waiting for this day. Lara Croft finally has a seat at the table of PlayStation mascots that received the faithful remaster treatment, such as Crash Bandicoot and Spyro, and I couldn't be happier than I am right now. It feels amazing knowing that the prayers of so many fans of the classic Tomb Raider games, myself included, have finally been answered.
Having "The T-Rex (Pt. I)" play throughout the overview was a phenomenal touch, too. Nathan McCree's compositions were, are, and always will be my favorite pieces of music in the Tomb Raider franchise, right next to Peter Connelly and the London Symphony Orchestra's contributions to the soundtrack for Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness.
Toys for Bob and Aspyr though are like night and day.
It's my birthday today and this announcement dropped. What a lovely gift.
Happy Birthday
@@stuart792 Thank you!
Happy birthday and OMG I'm so excited for this 😁
@@SethMcKenzieTV thank you! And same 😁😁😁
Oh man was a nostalgia overload this is! No Tomb Raider IV is disheartening but I'm not complaining, I've been wanting and hoping the Classic Tomb Raider games would make their way to Switch and now _it's actually happening_ HYPE!
Words cannot describe how happy I am this finally happened. Well done.
For those who aren't aware, 14th February (Valentine's day) is classic Lara's birthday
This is a dream come true. I've been wanting this since the PS3 era.
OH MY GOD! Hadn’t I been on bed I would’ve fallen down when they announced this! 🤯 What a way to celebrate our beloved Lara’s Birthday!
Omg, this is literally the only thing I've ever wanted! Just bring these back with the old-school clunky controls. That's all I want! On my birthday too 😄
Son ordered this for us & I can’t wait for February!!!!!!!
I could actually cry this is amazing 😢😢
The REAL Tomb Raider games...
I hope this is not Switch only !!! 😭😭😭 I need it on PS5 !!! Physical version ! And I hope an option for "modern" movement along with Tank controls is included 🙄... hopefully this will sell well and we will get Revelations, Chronicles and Angel of Darkness next ! 😍😍😍
Later, playstation will have the state of Play so maybe it could come to PS4/PS5.
if you want modern movement, go to TR: Anniversary. I really want them to focus on tank controls.
I hear you on the tank controls with this remaster. This was the first thing I was thinking after watching the trailer. I would be great if they add the option to have modern or classic controls with this release.
So classy to release on Lara's birthday ❤
Great! Looking forward to this! I've wished to play the original Tomb Raider on Switch for a long time! ❤
Best announcement of the direct for me! The REAL Lara Croft and true Tomb Raider gameplay is back, finally! I hope there's a physical version of switch, as I'd preorder that right now if I could.
This literally made me cry. No game announcement has ever meant this much to me
Me too! This is what we wanted for so long! The classics faithfully remastered
@@mikem8733 The addition of the expansion levels is mindblowing to me. I've been dreaming about playing them forever. Finally, that dream will come true. And then the other stuff... the secret that doesn't register properly in TR1, the unreachable medipak in TR2... I just cannot wait to see what these new renditions have in store
It's great to have the old games back.
THESE LOOK AMAZING!!! Very excited for this. I love the OG Tomb Raider games, growing up with them and loving every part of them (especially the first 3). TR II is my favourite, and I can't wait to explore these worlds again - now just need to grab myself some Nintendo lol
Cannot frickin wait. Best announcement of the show imo. They look great and I love that they seem to be very faithful, The originals are fantastic but visually are very dated and look horrible on massive TV while this version with its remaster graphics should look fine. I love that it looks to have the same control scheme too. I love the grid based design of the originals. They were done basically as puzzle exploration games with a sprinkle of action as opposed to modern tomb raider games that are modern action with a sprinkle of exploration. (hand holdy exploration at that) Physical edition of this please! :D
I was literally thinking “I wish they hadn’t even changed the original look.” The fact that they thought of keeping that option won me over.
Wow! Very nice! It's a must have for all Tomb Raider fans. I'm sure, I'll love it 😍
YOU RIZZ 😏😏🍑
This trilogy is my favourite because it actually has you raiding tombs, and solving puzzles. I know right...wHo wOulda tHunk iT?
I can’t believe I missed this announcement. Pre-ordered!
This is coming to Steam too! So happy to have the ability to play these classics in 16:9, high fps, with improved graphics, and without messing about with a single mod!
