So received my Thimbleweed orders.

Noticed the spine does not have its number. That a new thing they changed last minute?

It's a guideline set down by Nintendo of America, no numbers on the spine.

Nintendo of Europe allows it, which is why Super Rare Games has numbers on their spines.

Interesting. May be one of the reasons LRG could not get up am running at first too.

A tad bummed, since my original plan is to have an unwrapped set for a future auction and the numbers would have definitely served a visual appeal a bit more, but hardly anything to complain about.

Buuuut, if I start getting assets ready, I may make a spine alternate for the LRG that are open if people may to open to it. Would take a backseat to the Japan and EU covers being altered for NA.

I guess Wolfenstein did not learn from Mega Man Legacy. The junk at the top has actually released.......with the junk still at the top. Ugh; it’s so ugly. DOOM was released perfectly! If anyone’s buying these games, they should already know they’re going to need a memory card. What’s the deal? Can’t they fit that junk on the back somewhere? Thank god for Bethesda’s alternate covers. I will be switching instantly.

Twitter is buzzing with talk of Celeste getting a physical release.

Yeah, I've held off buying it because I was close to 100% sure physical would happen sooner or later. Same as I've done with Sonic Mania and Golf Story, you just know it's going to happen.

The post can't be updated until the OP has time to update it. Unfortunately this isn't an official list, it's just one guy who went ahead and compiled a list on his own, and currently he is dealing with Life. Be patient, hopefully he will get back to it at some point.

I checked the developer's Twitter account, Matt Makes Games, and didn't see any mention of a physical release. So I'm not sure if Nintendeal is reporting or just wishfully thinking. But then there's Nintendo News as well.

I got an email from Signature Edition Games ... looks like The Coma: Recut is getting a Signature Edition release, but their website appears to be down so I can't verify.

Also got an email from Play-Asia ... evidently Shikhondo: Soul Eater is their third exclusive release for the Switch? I thought this was only their second, following Dimension Drive a few weeks ago ... Did I miss one, or did they number the game incorrectly in the email?

I’m pretty sure I read in one of the announcements that this wasn’t planned as their second game but they wanted it to release along with the PS4 version so it’s being labeled as their third and then there will be one in the middle of Dimension Drive and this one.

Just a numbering error I'd assume. Dimension Drive and Shikhondo are the only Switch physical releases from Play Asia so far. Although they also published Lost Sea, which is an eShop-only release (at the moment). So perhaps they counted that in their arithmetic?

Best Buy lists a release date of August 31st. So it might even slip past August.

@Katelyn1223 @Magician ah, ok. I've been watching LEs/CEs/Exclusives pretty close (all publishers in general) and was surprised/confused when I saw "third exclusive." Maybe a back-numbering with a future title will clear it up, or maybe they are considering their e-Shop release as part of their exclusives.

@Anti-Matter @SpaceAce13 @Magician saw the delay earlier this week... or maybe late last week... either way, started looking for it and noticed they had updated their website ETA but didn't send out emails letting everyone who pre-ordered know. "Expected late July" ... so yeah, probably August (maybe September) before we see that one ship (guessing).
