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

@MarioBrickLayer

No worries.

According to aggregate scores, Islets is super-solid.

Dead in Vinland is the next numbered release from EastAsiaSoft.

I can't count the number of times I've seen it on discount and being tempted to pull the trigger.

I'm glad I abstained.

I've never shared information on this thread before, so I hope this interests anyone. Fingers crossed that it's true! I know Play Asia tends to jump the gun on things.

Tunic is getting a release from Fangamer...

There doesn't appear to be an option for a standard version, maybe that will be getting a general release?

My timing sucks because I just bought Tunic...

@ElRoberico Oh No! You could buy a physical copy and keep it SSSEEEEAAAAALLLLEEEEDDD!

@MarioBrickLayer
Thank you for the excellent news! I was waiting for Tunic to finally get a physical release. There's a bunch of tempting games in today's announcements. @_@;;

@MarioBrickLayer

Sweet.

Now I have something to bundle with an order for Ooblets once Tunic is in stock.

Fantastic, I've been looking forward to getting Tunic physical.
I'm tempted to order from Fangamer US directly so I can get that hardcover instruction manual alongside it, but the shipping is likely to be prohibitively expensive, so I might end up ordering from Videogames Plus or another importer. Since this is Fangamer, a Europe retail release may happen as they often have done.

@MarioBrickLayer I'm not a fan of keeping sealed copies, but I might double-dip with it regardless. And I haven't even played Tunic yet. I might play it once I finish slogging through Brilliant Diamond (It's not terrible, but I'm dramatic af).

Kung Fury coming from LRG.

No, just...no thank you. Hell no. Never. Nadda. Nuh uh. Nope.

Umm...no.

CRYMACHINA preorders from NIS America should be popping around the usual places today.

Weird that Tunic isn’t getting an Xbox release considering it was on there first. How does it run on Switch? I imagine it’s not very demanding, but…..

@Miadaskate Well the Xbox One and Series X are the worst consoles for physical releases. Maybe that is the reason that 95% of the limited releases skip them.

Tunic is already up on Amazon UK, no need to import.

I'll still be importing because I wanted the hardcover manual Fangamer is offering, I've already ordered, so.

@Zuljaras
The minimum print run for Xbox platform games is apparently 10K units, which is why you so rarely see any boutique publishers going for it.
Something may have changed as Limited Run Games has started a numbered line of Xbox Series X releases, it could be something they were able to arrange as part of Embracer Group.

@RupeeClock I believe LRG have been Xbox brand ambassadors for a couple or few years now. I assume that allows them and them alone to produce Xbox physical games at a lower number than the 10k minimum. But I'm not sure.

Trek to Yomi is up on AmazonNA (a month or so after it had been made available on AmazonUK).

There's also a deluxe edition for $15 more, if you'd like. But for a digital soundtrack and softcover artbook?

Meh.

Personally, I'll probably skip this. The whole deal with foreground objects obstructing camera views in combat does not sound appealing.

@Magician I'm interested in it, but it's a hard skip for me on Switch. I adore my Switch, but when it comes to PS5/XBX games on it...

@ElRoberico

Nice gif choice.

I don't doubt The Heartbreak Kid actually shoot adored Ric Flair, at least a little bit.

@Magician oh he loved Flair. If you ask each of them who the greatest of all time is, they each say each other.
