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

@Miadaskate I feel ya. Gave up about a year on on "limited games" grabbed some here and there, but after hitting 800 games in the first few years, Switch really has become meh to me at this point. Starting to collect what I want and not everything that is "limited"

Yeah, unfortunately most disc-based games these days (probably since the PS4 era), just unlock the license in order to play it. Like the new Call Of Duty for instance, only has like 70 MB on the disc. It’s absolutely ridiculous, and really frustrating considering the size these discs can hold in terms of storage, but for some reason I still prefer to have a physical version. 🤷‍♂️

Dark Deception coming via Special Reserve.

@Magician
The video thumbnail looks like an AI generated collage trained on modern horror games like Five Nights at Freddies.

Play-Asia posted a listing for a Playism physical release of Ib recently with a February 2023 estimated release date, but that listing has been removed.
Ib was briefly featured in a recent Nintendo Direct.

I received an email from Funstock, the physical for Willy Jetman: Astromonkey's Revenge has been cancelled...

Very disappointing, I thought this would be a great release. Hopefully it still happens.

Previously a Japan-only release that was then distributed by Funstock in Europe.

LRG will now be distributing Ultra Age in Murica.

It's a AA-quality action adventure game like Devil May Cry.

P.S. - Idea Factory will be distributing Little Witch Nobeta in Murica.

P.P.S. - And LRG continue to churn out "meh" by opening preorders for Clea next week.

@Magician - Hopefully NA version of Ultra Age has the framerate patch. Pre-patch import plays a bit rough.

Demon Gaze listed at Target.

Apparently Oddworld Soulstorm has a 12GB day-one patch.

Yeeeeeesh.

I'm glad I skipped it.

P.S. Shop4 haven't shipped my order for Aeterna Noctis. It was the only game I hadn't requested a refund for.

I had hope.

P.S.S. - Witch on the Holy Night is up on AmazonNA.

And yet, Type-Moon didn't want to give us Melty Blood?

Weird, considering how rare physical copies of MB are.

Will You Snail from Super Rare next week.

P.S. - As well as Kardboard Kings and Relic Hunters Zero from Special Reserve.

Strictly Limited Games opens pre-orders for "PuzzleBobble EveryBubble!" in roughly 24 hours from this post.
https://store.strictlylimitedgames.com/collections/puzzlebobb...
The collector's edition includes one of those cheap bubble blower wand tubes, which considering that's a liquid that makes me wondered about the integrity of the package.

Strictly Limited Games also redesigned their website, but it's just a facelift.
Also, their production updates says that Wonder Boy Anniversary Collection should start shipping this month. I'm looking forward to that, I ordered that back in March.

Does anybody know if KOTOR II has shipped from LRG yet?

@Aurumonado

Not yet, still in production.

I'm having a chill Sunday just reminiscing about the old Switch days. Anyone else remember ordering a physical copy of the Wonderboy Collection? Ahhhh...happy times...

@GrailUK
That's actually due to ship this month, hopefully.
But yeah, Strictly Limited Games has notorious turnaround times on orders.

I will say though, my oldest unfulfilled order from SLG is March 2022, for Wonder Boy Collection.
Whereas over on Limited Run Games, my oldest unfulfilled order is December 2021! That one is being held back by a single item though, Toki Tori for Game Boy Color.

Having just received my most recent import order, naturally I've begun looking towards the next order and...things are kind of quiet. As a shmup fan I'm looking at Akai Katana and NeverAwake. But after that? Perhaps Tales of the Neon Sea, as a possible lowish print indie game that might remain as a Japan-only physical release?

Seems as though early next year will be my time to order some low-priority import stuffs.

Doraemon SoS: Friends of the Great Kingdom, SAO Alicization, Overlord, etc.

Konami Arcade Classics opening for preorder from LRG on Friday. And First Press will release Chained Echoes physical. Personally, FPG aren't getting another dime from me, until they ship the product I ordered three years ago. At this point they're as bad as Dispatch Games. Delay, after delay, after delay...

...I look forward to playing my copy of Crimzon Clover in 2028, or whenever.

@Magician I ordered Sydney Hunter and the Curse of the Mayan from First Press Games in June, i'm sure when I ordered it their release page said Q3 or Q4 2022 but it now says Q3 2023.

Neo Geo Pocket Color Vol. 2 (available now) and Aztech: Forgotten Gods on the 22nd from LRG.

Inscryption finally gets a release date from special reserve on 12-1-22. Im beyond excited for this one
