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

Gone Home from iam8bit will be shipping in May.

I got everything except for the arcade collections and the australia game. I'm getting the death road to canada game too, looks fun. I really enjoyed oregon trail, and since this is inspired by that game, I'm excited to try it.

So the question is... tomorrow, get the Special Reserve Games "The Messenger" or get the Limited Run Games "The Messenger" ..smh

@leerafuse I'm assuming it is all the same, and LRG is just putting it on the shop like in the past.

@hirokun LRG are doing their own cover artwork for the game. Plus "LRG" logo will be on the back of the game as a publisher for all those who collect all the variants.

The only difference that I'm aware of is the cover art. Personally I'll be going through LRG for my copy. But I'm curious if they'll do the same for Special Reserve's release of Downwell and Minit?

Special Reserve Games has free shipping on all pre-orders. They also state June for delivery. LRG is stating July.

@leerafuse @hirokun

The language used on LRG’s site suggests that cover art may be different, but as of right now, both sites show the same art do I don’t know for sure.

“This release is not published by Limited Run Games and is not a part of our numbered Nintendo Switch collection. It was published by Special Reserve Games and is also available through their website with their own unique cover art.”

EDIT: The current LRG cover is a placeholder. Their cover will be revealed later today at 1pm EDT.

I’ll wait and see who has the better cover art.

Probably going to grab SpRG's edition. Free shipping sounds nice. haha If not I will bundle it with Bomb Chicken when it gets released on LRG.

Wow, I missed so many posts before my reply. Sorry for being a redundant dufus to those that already said what I said.

Oh snap; Special Reserve is doing GRIS too??? Rad.

Red Art’s next game is STAY.

How long has it been since the main list was updated? It looks like a LOT of games are missing.

May 2018. So to say the list is out of date is an understatement. I think there are well over four hundred games released physically for Switch.

So the variant covers of The Messnger will be revealed “at a later date”. That’s a little annoying, but I guess I have 2 weeks to wait so we’ll see what happens.

Just came to post this. Agreed. My purchase is solely on which version has the better artwork so yeah this is kinda annoying.

@Miadaskate same here. I do still need to order Bloodstained and maybe TJ&E from LRG so I could bundle and since SRG offers free shipping I’ll buy from whoever has the best art.

There’s heat about it on Twitter so hopefully they’ll provide more info soon.

I still need to buy those titles too and would love to bundle them. Guess we’ll have to wait and see!

I think I will have to order The Messenger through SRG simply for the sequential numbering. To keep the collection in good order if LRG won't be supporting the release of Downwell, Minit, and Gris as they are with The Messenger.
