Out of nowhere, My Nintendo Store UK has had a surprise restock of the Xenoblade 3 Collector's Edition.

This time it is subject to a queue process which would've required you to register interest, and receive an email with a 6 digit verification code to join the queue.
The item is still lifetime limited to one per customer, so you cannot buy another if you already have it.

As a reminder, this is just the Collector's Edition packaging and contents and does not include the game itself (it has been priced accordingly at £29.99), they did this as they were unable to get the kit ready for the game's launch.

@RupeeClock Saw that too and picked one up, it's a fair price for an art book and steel case. For once I was in front of my computer at the right time and the queuing system worked perfectly.

@Rossoverde
When they previously opened orders for this collector's edition, there was no queueing system in place, same for a first round of Bayonetta reprints. Stock would sell out rapidly and the site wouldn't work properly.
They've since implemented that queue system when they did another round of Bayonetta reprints, and the experience has been much better for it.

Looks like those XBC3 Collector's Editions sold out just as quickly with this surprise restock too.

Little Nightmares III preorders have popped up at retailers here in Murica.

P.S. - And the physical retail release for Weird West has been cancelled. I'm not sure if Devolver Digital are just scaling back to just being a Special Reserve release? Or if they're having difficulty getting it running on the platform? Regardless, preorders at GameStop and Best Buy are being refunded.

Vagante is the next distribution game from LRG.

Mmm...I'll take a pass.

It appears that Oizumi Amuzio are publishing Gravity Circuit physically in Japan.

I'm all over that, I was planning on placing a Play-Asia order for the Apollo Justice trilogy soon anyway but this seals it.

Looks like Sea of Stars is getting a JP physical release from Kakehashi Games. It's a multi-language release including English language.

Another game that caught my eye is Otogi Katsugeki Mameda no Bakeru, which is a 3D action game which as I understand it comes from Goemon alumni. This one might not get localised.

It also looks like that Touhou Metroidvania got a sequel? I recall you didn't exactly care for that though.

@Magician Do you think this will stay as an import exclusive? I’ve been waiting for this physical

@SpaceAce13 Too early to tell. I'd like to believe that, since Gravity Circuit reviewed so well, that somebody will publish it in the west. And yet Lethal League Blaze is still Japan only. So I do not know.

Looks like Limited Run is doing Gargoyles along with a Mega Drive/Genesis cart:

@Bunkerneath This looks so damn tempting! While growing up I had this Goliath figure with wings made from cloth

@Zuljaras Looks like the wings do fold down (or maybe they detach), as how does it fit in the box? Also comes with a different face attachment:

@Bunkerneath I think this is the figure in action It comes with a book and more hands in this case. Maybe this is NOT so LIMITED edition after all.

It looks really cool but I wonder if it is worth it the 200+$ price tag (I am from the EU and I pay 20% more on everything from the US )

Super Rare Games have officially announced their next physical release: Here Comes Niko.
Limited to 1500 collector's editions and 2500 standard editions.

I anticipate it might have some demand like A Short Hike did, but I'm not sure.
I recall it launched on PC or Switch in pretty poor shape, but don't know if the tech issues were resolved since its launch. Anyone know? It's a game I was interested in picking up if it ever got a physical.

Pix'N Love are publishing Gravity Circuit in the west.

P.S. - The next EastAsiaSoft release will be the Double-D Collection (Cosmo Dreamer & Like Dreamer)

@Magician
Sweet, that's where I'll be getting it then.
I very nearly placed an order for it from Play-asia, but will aim for this one.

@Magician @RupeeClock Is Gravity Circuit a difficult game? It looks good, but I'm not getting it if it's one of those games where the difficulty is insane!

The Behemoth are opening pre-orders for Castle Crashers Deluxe on their website from Monday 18th of September (no specific time of day mentioned).

https://blog.thebehemoth.com/2023/09/14/castle-crashers-remas...

Pre-orders will stay open until October 18th with a limit of 2 per customer (so it might not be open pre-order or they might manufacture additional stock to match demand?)
