If you're a fan of your physical editions, and just so happen to want a copy of Snake Pass on Switch, then boy do we have the article for you.
Yes, Sumo Digital's slithery 3D platformer has made its way into a physical edition, and pre-orders are set to go live on Super Rare Games very soon indeed (or have just gone live if you're reading this a little later on). If you've forgotten what this one's all about, Snake Pass challenges players to think exactly like a snake would as they tackle 3D puzzles to make it through each stage. You'll be making your way through the long grass, coiling around bamboo, and climbing away from danger in a title which is genuinely unique.
The physical edition includes all of the game's DLC as standard, and also comes with some extra goodies to make the purchase even more worthwhile.
Each purchase includes the following additional items:
- Interior art
- Full-colour artbook
- Exclusive sticker
- 3 card trading card pack
Alongside the release of the game, there will also be an exclusive 12” vinyl soundtrack available. Only 500 have been printed and it features the award-winning sounds of legendary composer David Wise, famous for his work on the Donkey Kong Country series.
Here's the link you need to grab a copy for yourself. Pre-orders go live at 6pm BST / 7pm CEST (10am PT / 1pm ET) for $34.99 / £29.99 / €33.99.
Will you be adding this one to your collection?

I already snagged this as part of a bundle with Mutant Mudds Collection and Worms W.M.D. Very much looking forward to adding this to my collection!
This is probably SRG's highest profile publication, so I'm curious to see how quickly these will sell out.
The price is really interesting. Maybe I will try to get one. I have not played it yet but it is in my whistling.
@Geobros If you're interested, I'd be ready to place an order as soon as they open in roughly 51 minutes from this comment.
I feel that this one might sell out quicker than expected.
Do you have to pay shipping? How much is it? Couldn't find any information for this on the page.
@infernogott
For UK orders and mainland shipping, I only had to pay £1.99 for 1st Class royal mail shipping.
No idea about international shipping.
Good for those who want it...but the thought of having to swap out game carts for little indie games like this all the time...gag...
@infernogott Europe Express Tracked Shipping £7.99, about 10 euros.
Just grabbed my copy - glad I wait for these things.
Got mine ordered
Pretty smart of them to release a limited run physical, good way to drum up some new interest in a very mediocre game.
SOLD!
What is with this new vinyl trend with these physical editions? How many people actually have a turntable these days, and among the kind of people who do have a turntable which are typically going to be audiophiles connecting a $900+ turntable to a $15,000+ tube-driven audio rig, how many are using it to play the soundtracks from most retro games? (Snake Pass and David Wise are quite a different story however.)
It just seems like a weird bonus since I can't imagine there's much overlap between retro gamers and audiophiles with functioning vinyl setups. Heck I'm in the overlap of audiophile and gaming and still dont' have a working turntable (though I do have a stack of hopefully not too poor condition LPs.)
Not really related, but...
If I have a digital version and a physical version on the same Switch, do both versions use the same save file or do they have separate save files? And is their any way to transfer saves between versions on the Switch?
@Sakura save file should carry over no problem, at least it did for me with Flinthook
@adh56 Thanks!
@WaveBoy I actually liked Snake Pass enough to get it on PS4 and Switch.
Well...
For LRG games, i might order from Ebay if i can't order the Rare games right now.
Keep your Snake. I'll Pass.
