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

Is there anywhere in the world to get the Mega Man Legacy Collection physical for both both 1 + 2? Meaning the original Mega Man series set to release on 5/22. Not the X/Rockman games. For those, I am getting both 1 and 2 Japanese physicals from Play Asia.

@Belexes No

So FINALLY got around to updating the omnibus, and lordy does May add a TON of games onto the list. Almost all of March and April's releases combined rival it. Anyway, here's one quick look at the list, lemma know if I missed a few.

SIDENOTE: I updated this not knowing Little Nightmares may been canned for a NA release. adding it to my release list purchases in Play-Asia and seeing if it is forced out there as well. Blade Strangers is still overlooked in my list (pretend it's not there for now).

Also; I would like to take a vote of how people feel about the actual Labo box arts. Deciding on when I got time to make custom box art for the EU and JP imports to fall in line with their NA counterparts, and thinking of adding the Labo in as well.

On another note, figured to update my personal checklist.

@paraka I think wild guns is missing? Unless I can’t see it. Also hope you got that family stuff sorted out brother

@Sawyoudown - You're right it is missing (just saved that file so I can add it soon). I had to update it (as I do monthly... usually) for the passed 3 months, so I figured a few will be overlooked. Will see if I got everything that I missed before uploading a new one.

I emailed Bandai Customer Service earlier asking if this was a permanent cancellation of a physical release or if they are just pushing back the NA release. Will let everyone know when (or if) they respond.

Thank you. Dang, I was hoping for a work around in some region that would be releasing both physicals like with the X series.

Was wondering that myself, would appreciate the update. Thanks!

Looks like Nekopara will be out 21. June. Any news at all about a retail release?

I doubt it. Most visual novels are eShop-only releases.

This owlboy LE is going to kill me. It better not just pop up for sale randomly on a random storefront no one knows about. Something also tells me they will screw it up and not limit it to 1 per customer too. We can only wait and get more details, but after getting screwed by enough game releases I feel a foreboding doom will mar this LE.

I really hope they give people enough of a heads up to prepare for the release. I really want this special edition

@SpaceAce13 same. I've been waiting for an excuse to buy this game. I thought the switch was the perfect console, and planned to get the physical release, but now with an LE? Better bet I'm going to try for one. "more details" I hope is a 1 week heads up of when it will go live and where to buy it at the least. At best I can hope for an exact time stamp for it to go live, and details on 1 per customer.

I think Runbow is missing....

Do you guys open your collectors edition and limited release games or keep them sealed? I don’t really plan on selling any of mine so figured I might aswell open them to enjoy them

It depends. Personally, if the treasure box/collectors/deluxe/premium/limited/special edition is released the same day as the eShop and the standard version, then yeah I'll open mine since it'll be the only copy of the game I have. But these days we are living in a time where a bunch of smaller publishers (Limited Run Games), mid-tier publishers (THQ Nordic), and self-publishing developers (Arc System Works) exist. I've bought quite a few eShop games, only to regret the purchase when that game gets a physical release afterwards.

In those cases, the previously bought eShop-game-now-physical release will remain sealed when I double dip for the physical version.

Steamworld Dig 2 NA now delayed until June 19th.

@Magician That is a good point. The only game I haven't opened out of my 70ish games is binding of Isaac launch edition because i ended up getting the second print first. I definitely see myself opening Thimbleweed Park, Merc kings and flinthook special editions when they get here though!

@Sawyoudown - I do. Unless I somehow know I will benefit from reselling I just simply do not enjoy a game unless I am playing them or viewing and displaying the contents.

I am very picky about my collection. Standard variants get the collection complete cause I simply want to play them, horrible or not.

Artbooks are a surefire way to get me to buy a CE of anything. Hell kept me involved with WoW for a while now.

I buy to play, so I open mine. Only CE I haven’t opened so far is retro city rampage, and that’s mostly because I just haven’t gotten around to playing it yet
