Super Rare Games has revealed that its next physical release for Nintendo Switch will be The Adventure Pals, with pre-orders going live very soon indeed.
The Adventure Pals is a quirky platform-adventure game about friendship involving a small boy, his backpack helicopter-tongued giraffe, and his pet rock. On paper, it sounds about as crazy as things can get, but that only adds to its undeniable charm. We really enjoyed playing the game for review last year, praising it for "reminding us of why we fell in love with video games in the first place".
This limited physical release will only see 4,000 copies be manufactured, coming with the game on a physical cart, interior art, a full-colour 20-page manual, an exclusive sticker, and a three-card trading card pack. The physical edition will cost you £29.98 and can be pre-ordered right here from 10th January (it'll officially launch just a week later on the 17th).
If you missed the news, Super Rare Games has also recently launched an exclusive membership club which gives you extra benefits for a yearly subscription.

Wow, one I might be interested in
This is a really fun game with levels that drag on a little too long.
I'm interested in picking this up, I just hope that not being a member of their exclusive club does not get in the way of me just buying the game.
It hasn't been a problem before though, I just place an order when they go live at 6pm UK time.
Bought the 3 pak so I got it already on pre-order.
out of the 40 games I have on Switch right now, this is my biggest regret...
@SwitchForce same here, I was hoping for this one as Fairune and knights of pen & paper are not really my thing
@Scottwood101 oh nooooooooo, why is that?
i love the aesthetic and the whacky characters, but as someone alluded to, levels slightly too long and not challenging enough. Maybe it gets better as the game goes on but I think I gave up a couple of hours in... Might give it another go once I'm done with Rain World. Still have Dandara and Teslagrad to finish too!
Why they don't make Hollow Knight? Or Final Fantasy XV. Something more interesting anyway.
Really fun game, I bought it on the strength of Nintendo Life review, I was surprised at just how much I enjoyed it.
Me and my daughter absolutely LOVED this game UNTIL a game breaking bug happene when we were 50% through it. Both our characters got stuck in the top left of the screen and can’t move.
Heart breaking after the hours we put into it.
@KIRO you should contact thier support then just posting here as well.
this + 2 more titles from srg by feb not to mention 3 titles from lrg this month. yikes all my gaming money is going towards limited physical media for now..
@SwitchForce thanks , good advice. I’ve been meaning to for about two months ha ha . Lazy....
I purchased the game digitally but haven't played it yet. Certainly not bothered in a physical copy though as I got the game at less than a third of that price.
The first hour delighted with graphics and gameplay, until you realise that that is all you are getting for the remainder of the game.
Got so repetitive with some of the most uninspired level designs ever until I could not bear to complete the game despite playing past 70% of the game.
