@Miadaskate - When my house is done being fixed from the flood I will be addressing this as well. Got Okami, MMX Legacy 1 and 2, Beat Em Bundle, and will be working on RA's releases.

@baller98 Thanks for pointing this out. I found an article on the Hollow Knight reddit that explains what happened and that, for at least one user, they're offering exchanges of the cards if you purchased through them.
In case anyone else is confused, the first run of the game does include the final DLC, it's just a patch, instead of included on the card. Personally this isn't a huge deal for me, as I was OK with things like The Banner Saga Trilogy's physical release, but it is space on my switch being taken so I'll pursue getting an updated cart.
I'll let y'all know how it goes. Cheers!
I have many games, far too few of them played. Currently making my way through:
3DS: Bravely Default
Switch: Rune Factory 4 Special
PS4: Greedfall
PC: Satisfactory, Pathfinder Kingmaker
PS3: DS: GBA: SNES: GC: Wii:

So I've quietly folded the physical watchlist thread. Updating and maintaining the thread became more effort than it was worth as the rate of physical releases for the Switch has continued to steadily increase. Less than three years into the Switch's life and there are already over six hundred physical releases, if you collect games across every region and order from most of the boutique publishers. That's already more than the 3DS got in it's entire eight year lifespan.
It's the Wii all over again.
We're looking at 800+ physical releases before the PS5 and Xbox Scarlett even arrive, never mind the next couple or few years after that.

@Magician I noticed. shame, it was big help. but understandable.
You know things are getting out of hand when Youtubers are making "quit Switch collecting" videos.

@Magician - What's really funny though is I felt Switch was going to be that era I have a chance to do a bucket list check, which was to collect every game for a system. Since the Wii U struggled and Switch had a more reliable source for the game (avoided bit rot), figured now is a good time more than ever. Never... Never have I thought it was going to be this crazy. All the bonuses and saved moneys from apps, sales and budgeting for 3 years are depleted. I refocused, of course, cause I do not think I will get another chance like this again.
Which makes me furious at younger self for trying to prove to my mother about handling funds during the GCN era. I was almost there, that last year I stopped all together. Missed out on RE4, PN03, Twilight Princess... a whole slew of stuff. And trying to chase after the remains is as pricey as just investing in the Switch for less games. Quite the conundrum.
@GrailUK - I grew up with figure collectors. You note patterns and releases quickly. And when to capitalize on price drops.
Also, some like me use various apps, like Shopkick and Ibotta, to helps save and stimulate additional funds. Works for me since I am always on the road for it, saved 300 dollars for game spending among them when Switch released.
@GrailUK - Well one thing I can say is almost all first party game remain the same price for years, and often you can find them anywhere. There is VERY few exceptions.
Third parties often focus on first month sales overall, because the investors like seeing immediate return on their investments. Because of this, it usually drops 10 dollars after the first month and withing the next three drop to value bins for most releases. You can time this where you live (since I don't know store habits in UK sadly) and that cam save you a TON of money moving in on annual releases at the right time.
Most US stores also "reset" their layout every six months. So a handful of titles are often put into a clearance bin to get them out of their inventory.
@GrailUK - There has been talks with a friend of mine about my perspective in business may actually be good for videos. Never really took him up on the offer..
Hmm, if anyone is interested in the upcoming games Fishing Star World Tour, Spirit Hunter NG, Ghost Parade, and/or Waku Sweets, shopping directly from the Aksys online store will take 20% off the msrp straight away. https://store.aksysgames.com/
