Air Conflicts Collection Switch brings two arcade flight combat games from Kalypso Media and developer Games Farm onto one boxed European release: Air Conflicts: Secret Wars, set across both World Wars, and Air Conflicts: Pacific Carriers, set in the Pacific War. Both games launched on the Nintendo eShop on 22 March 2019 as separate downloads, and this physical collection lets you own them together without using system memory for the base games. It is a good fit for players who like dogfights, bombing runs and carrier battles with a pick-up-and-play feel.

Air Conflicts: Secret Wars
The first game in Air Conflicts Collection Switch is Secret Wars, which Nintendo describes as an arcade flight game with battles spanning both World Wars across Europe and North Africa. It has seven campaigns and 49 missions, with mission types that include patrol, stealth, hit-and-run, bombing and escort. Briefings are told through animated, graphic-novel style scenes, with cockpit chatter during missions.
You fly more than 16 aircraft, from early biplanes and Second World War fighters to experimental prototypes such as the Horten H IX, which Nintendo calls a forerunner of modern stealth bombers. Between missions an upgrade system improves handling and speed and boosts your wingmen, and 24 maps are inspired by real places including Berlin, Belgrade, Slovakia and Tobruk.
Air Conflicts: Pacific Carriers
The second game in Air Conflicts Collection Switch, Pacific Carriers, moves the action to the Pacific War and puts aircraft carriers at the centre. There are two campaigns: you can play as Admiral Lucas Stark of the US Navy, defending Pearl Harbor and pushing across the Pacific, or as Admiral Hideaki Hashimoto on the Japanese side. Missions recreate famous battles at Midway, Pearl Harbor and Wake Island.
Nintendo lists 18 aircraft types, including the Japanese A6M Zero and Aichi D3 Val and the American F4F Wildcat and F4U Corsair. The carrier focus adds a strategic layer, since the campaigns revolve around protecting and using these ships.
Controls and Modes in Air Conflicts Collection Switch
Secret Wars offers two control schemes: an arcade setup for relaxed play and a simulation setup for more realistic handling. Both games support TV, tabletop and handheld modes, with touch screen features listed by Nintendo, so you can fly on the TV or on the go.
Single-player is offline on one system. For multiplayer, both games list online play for 2 to 8 players. Secret Wars has Dogfight, Team Dogfight, Capture the Flag and Destroy and Protect, while Pacific Carriers lists four online modes that include aerial and aircraft carrier battles. Online play requires a paid Nintendo Switch Online membership and a Nintendo Account.
Why the Physical Air Conflicts Collection Switch Edition
On the eShop the two games are sold separately and need 1.5 GB and 1.4 GB of storage. The boxed collection gathers both, which suits collectors of flight games and anyone who prefers a card they can lend or keep. This stock is the European (PAL) edition, and Switch consoles are region free, so it plays on any Switch in the UAE.
Languages in Air Conflicts Collection Switch differ slightly between the two games: Secret Wars lists English, Spanish, French, German and Italian, and Pacific Carriers adds Russian.
Who This Is Not For
Air Conflicts Collection Switch is not for younger children: Nintendo of Europe rates Pacific Carriers PEGI 16 for violence and Secret Wars PEGI 12 for violence and bad language. It is also not a full flight simulator; both games are arcade-style even with the simulation controls, so players who want study-level cockpits should look elsewhere. Local multiplayer on one console is not listed, and online battles need a paid Nintendo Switch Online membership. Finally, these are 2019 releases, so expect visuals that match their age rather than a modern flight game.
