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

I wish that would happen for Knights of pen and paper collection and the Liar princess and the blind prince. The eBay prices are insane.

Is Inscryption going to be on switch?? I know there's a single tweet a long time ago saying as much, but no switch announcement was made recently when they announced PS4/PS5. I could swear there was a quick mention of it in a nintendo presentation though. Or am I crazy?

Super Rare Games have done their normal tweet hinting at their next game with a chance to win a free copy, loads of people have guessed A Short Hike based on the clues...we'll find out next Friday!

A Short Hike does seem very likely, they're not making this very hard actually.
It's a great game and I'd cherish a physical copy, I think it'll sell out quickly despite it's relatively short length and lack of replayability.

All things considering, I'm surprised Fangamer didn't pick it up, as they have merch for the game.

Fangamer prints are larger scale though and often have re-runs, so it makes sense why a smaller print run through Super Rare Games would happen.

@RupeeClock I think you're right that it will sell quickly. I'm a bit surprised that two of their last 3 games still have a lot of stock left, Strange Brigade (23% normal + 32% steelbook) and Aerial_Knight's Never Yield (38%).

Limited Run Games just tweeted this..

I wonder if we'll see a physical release of whatever is announced...

@MarioBrickLayer

Maybe Obduction is finally getting a Switch release? I'm not sure. Outside of Blaster Master, Sunsoft doesn't publish any other well known IP. Or maybe we're getting a Journey to Silius remake or something equally retro and cool?

@MarioBrickLayer
A Carbon Engine release of the NES Blaster Master titles seems like an obvious move.
Other games that come to mind, licensing issues aside, would be Mr. Gimmick, Batman + Return of the Joker, U-four-ia (Hebereke).

Or if you go the Game Boy route, they have Blaster Master Boy, Trip World, Batman, Power Quest.

With the preorder placed almost two years ago, SLG finally delivered the Turrican CE. Worth the wait. The question now is who'll ship first, Dispatch Games or First Press Games? They're still my oldest preorders, placed almost three years ago.

Sunsoft? I must be old, but I would love Spy Hunter.

When I saw Sunsoft games catalog from the oldest until the newest, I saw nothing interesting for me.

P-A's next release is Red Colony Trilogy.

P.S. - PQube will publish Labyrinth of Zangetsu in the west.

P.P.S. - Strictly Limited will be releasing Jitsu Squad physically.

Seems the next batch of Demon Throttle are on their way out of Special Reserve.

Just got my shipping notification yesterday.

Do we think limited run will handle a western release of river city saga?

@SpaceAce13 That Three Kingdoms-inspired River City? I'd assume it's more than likely they would since they opted the Double Dragon & Kunio-kun: Retro Brawler Bundle. Personally, I kind of hope they don't since I already have an Asia copy on order.

Japan is getting a River City Girls 1&2 bundle.

Gimmick! From sunsoft is getting a special edition release via www.Clearrivergames.com

They don't have a twitter account and there isn't anything on their website yet...

@MarioBrickLayer
This is cool, but I was hoping they could do a console release of Gimmick EXACT MIX, an arcade coin-op remake that's exclusively just that.

Hmm, my order for PB # 21 from Super Rare is a week overdue, stuck in Chicago apparently. If this order has been stolen and SRG won't offer a replacement this could be the end of my ordering from them.

@Magician - I had a similar issue, and suddenly was at my front door. Hopefully, a similar issue is happening here for you.

Super Rare Games confirms A Short Hike is their release next week, 4,500 standard copies and 1,500 special editions...
