Topic: Switch Physical Boxed Games List & Release Dates (US & CA)

@TalonMan idk but its unavail from Best Buy. Maybe they cancelled thw physical version cause of switch tax. Just buy the PS4 physical version like i will.
Apparently the Switch version is rare now. Thx alot Nintendo.

Well, it's weird that it was never listed in the OP (it's only listed at the very bottom of the post, among the "tbd" games) and GameStop has NEVER had the game available for purchase.

I'm hoping there is just a "slight" delay due to a timing issue, since this is getting a later release (10/10) for UK and everyone else. I just figured, maybe somebody around here knew something since it was never formally listed in the OP with it's boxart...

...why even mention the PS4 version?!?!? That defeats the purpose of collecting Switch games - the whole purpose for the existence of this thread in the first place!!

I find this particularly hilarious because 'sine mora' is Latin for 'without delay'. Oh, the irony...

Yeah, I was looking to get a physical copy of Sine Mora Ex. Only found a few eBay sellers listing it for sale. But I'm a bit leery of the whole situation because they probably don't have it in hand either.

Yeah, my copy was delayed as well. Given that the file size is under a gigabyte, it shouldn't be an issue with the card size either, since we've heard those cards are actually cheaper than blue-rays. Maybe there was another issue with production that's held up the physical copies? Still, you'd think THQ Nordic would have published a PR statement by now.

I asked one of the current eBay sellers whether the copy that he was selling was "on-hand", or whether his auction was for a pre-order. He CLAIMS that he ran out of the three copies he originally had, but will have a few more in the coming days... ...I smell [removed]. I don't think ANYBODY got one, yet!! Something is going on - like I mentioned, perhaps it's related to the staggered release with the worldwide release coming on 10/10. I dunno - but something is definitely fishy about the whole thing.

...for the record - Amazon is still selling the game, albeit with the "temporary out of stock" warning. But if the game were canceled or something more final had happened, I would think they would make the status "currently unavailable", rather than continue to accept sales of the game.

I think it's still coming... ...or, maybe I'm just wishful thinking.

My BB order was cancelled.

Isn't Fire Emblem Warriors releasing on October 20th?

I've seen pics posted online of physical copies in hand, but looks like there is a large backorder. I pre-ordered from Amazon over a month ago for $20 and it's currently on hold waiting on stock. $30 for the digital is too much IMO, though I'd love to play it. If it get close to Mario coming out, I'll probably cancel as I won't have time to play it and by the time I'm done with Mario, all the big holiday releases will be coming.

Yes - the status on Amazon has changed from "temporary out of stock" to "shipping in 1 to 2 months", which is a good sign regarding the possibility of this actually getting delivered at some point...

...mid-October and mid-November are looking EXTREMELY expensive though, so this damn thing better come out soon, or I might have to cancel, too.

Im just gonna get the physical version of Sine Mora EX at this point. 10 cheaper and its available in stores.

This is big breaking news for the physical games thread and physical media in general!!

Switch US physical SW sales are on pace to be the biggest ever for a Nintendo platform launch year since '95, by a fairly large margin. - @MatPiscatella

Tracking started in '95...

This is a huge deal for Nintendo when it comes to it's presence in retail stores. It's also obviously a big deal for those of us who prefer physical games to digital (because we're smart). There have been whispers of unusually good software sales from some 3rd parties as well, and this supports that notion. Good job Nintendo

@McGruber If I can get a game physical, usually I do. The only games I won't get physical that have a physical version, are Snipperclips Plus, seeing as I already have the base game downloaded, and maybe Puyo Puyo Tetris if I ever get that, because the download is cheaper than the physical.

Your OP states (and has stated for awhile, it seems) that you are "currently updating" - just wanted to point out a few updates though (confirmed via the standard Amazon, GameStop, BestBuy stores - so I think these dates and packagings are accurate):

Tiny Barbarians DX (10/10/17)
88 Heroes: 98 Heroes Edition (10/10/17) - available on Amazon, but not BestBuy or GameStop - weird!
Fire Emblem Warriors (10/20/17) - there's a Special Edition version available, along with the Standard
Ben 10 (??) - can't seem to find a consensus on release, but 11/14/17 seems likely
Xenoblade Chronicles (12/1/17) - there's a Special Edition version available, along with the Standard
Indivisible - available for pre-order directly through their website (http://www.indivisiblegame.com/)

Keep up the great work!!!!

Fyi - a few new ones just popped up on Amazon:

Monopoly - now has a release date (10/31/17)
Atelier Lydie & Suelle: The Alchemists & the Mysterious Paintings - (3/31/18)
Attack on Titan 2 - (3/31/18)

BestBuy lists this one now:
This Is The Police - (12/31/17)

@TalonMan I'm guessing those are all place holders besides Monopoly since they're the final dates of the quarters.

As for this new Retro City Rampage DX release, when should it be listed? It's only going to be available for sale for a limited time starting the 9th, but there's no targeted ship date yet.

I read up on the Switch version of Monopoly, it seems to be a significantly different version than the PS4 version I downloaded a couple of years ago. It may be better because it looks like it will have more features/boards. I may have to double dip to try out the Switch version.

Oh yeah, they are definitely placeholders - but there are plenty of other placeholder titles listed in the OP, and since these just popped up on Amazon with the ability to pre-order, I figure they're worth listing.

Where have you seen Retro City Rampage listed??? If that's true about a limited release, I will ABSOLUTELY want to get a pre-order in if it's not too late!!!!

Yeah - well, if you're obsessive about building out the physical library on the Switch (like I am!!), you're definitely going to wind up double-dipping on a few titles. I already played Minecraft: Story Mode on PS3 (which I've now bought for the Switch), as well as L.A. Noire. It's unfortunate, but the completionist within me, INSISTS on buying these duplicate titles!!

Btw - I found the answer to my question. Looks as though it's only going to be for sale, through the developer's own website... Neat! I really am liking the 'self published' games, like this. Feels like a great deal more care is being put into making a physical release like this, rather than something that's been mass-produced for GameStop retail.
