Choosing a current-generation video game often comes down to a platform and a mood. On one side is a fighting/action collection for the PlayStation 5; on the other, a superhero trilogy for the Nintendo Switch. The two are close in price: the Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection is $24.49 and the Batman Arkham Trilogy Complete Edition is $26.84, so the deciding factor is less about cost and more about what you want to play.
Quick Verdict
If you own a PlayStation 5 and want a fighting-focused action game, the Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection is your pick. If you play on Nintendo Switch and want the full Batman Arkham saga, the Batman Arkham Trilogy Complete Edition is the stronger choice. A little more than $2 separates the two, but the real difference is platform and play style.

Product Notes
Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection - PlayStation 5
This is the fighting/action option for PlayStation 5 owners who want a like-new copy with new-and-unplayed features. It is a lower-priced alternative next to the Batman trilogy, and the three-year manufacturer warranty gives you extra protection. The genre tags are action/adventure and fighting, which points to combat-heavy gameplay rather than a sprawling story. The limitation is that it is PS5-only, so it won't help Switch players. And if you are looking for a narrative with lots of exploration, this collection is more about one-on-one battles than a long campaign.
Batman Arkham Trilogy (Nintendo Switch)
This is the brand-new, region-free Switch package that collects the full Arkham arc: Arkham Asylum, Arkham City, and Arkham Knight. The action and adventure genre fits an open-world superhero experience, and the trilogy lets you face The Joker, Scarecrow, and Poison Ivy. For Switch owners, this is the more complete, story-driven choice. The limitation is that it is Switch-only, and its longer, narrative-heavy structure is not ideal for quick, pick-up-and-play combat sessions. If you want a fast fighting loop, the Mortal Kombat collection is the better match.
Final Choice by Use Case
Choose the Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection if you are on PlayStation 5 and want a fighting/action game. Choose the Batman Arkham Trilogy if you are on Nintendo Switch and want a story that spans the full Arkham arc.
