Curator Notes

Burnout Paradise moved Criterion Games’ crash-focused racing series into the open roads of Paradise City, first released on January 22, 2008. The Remastered edition, by Stellar Entertainment, gathers the original game with its later downloadable content, including Big Surf Island. EA released it on Nintendo Switch on June 19, 2020, as Burnout Paradise Remastered. This filing opens the Burnout lineage on the shelf.

Collection Documentation

The retained object is Electronic Arts’ retail edition of Burnout Paradise Remastered on a Nintendo Switch game card. Dedicated artifact views of the individual copy have not yet been filed; the gallery below is held open for that documentation.

Preservation Notes

Access Hardware: Nintendo Switch; compatible Nintendo Switch family hardware
Original Hardware: Nintendo Switch
Playback Compatibility: Nintendo Switch software is region-free. The retained game card is the primary access copy and runs on any Nintendo Switch console.
Preservation Concerns: Game cards are flash media; long-term charge retention, contact wear, and loss of the small card from its case are the principal risks. Any content delivered as an eShop download or update depends on Nintendo’s servers and is not preserved by the card alone.
Edition History: Original release January 22, 2008 (PlayStation 3, Xbox 360). Remastered released in March 2018 on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One; the Nintendo Switch version (HAC-P-AWVAA) followed on June 19, 2020.
Access Status: Distributed at retail by Electronic Arts, with a digital edition on the Nintendo eShop.
