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

Unintentional or dirty pool?

If anyone else is aiming for a complete set of LRG numbered releases, pay close attention to release #212, Another Crusade. If you were to go to the store drop table for Nintendo Switch, only the $60 edition is listed.

You either have had to Googled release #212 or entered it into LRG's search bar to locate the $35 standard copy. Shame shame you know your name.

@Magician - Yeah, their numbering is also a bit off too, with This Way to Madness also having another number too. Eyes on a swivel.

Also, I took the personal hit and bought the Annapurna collection.

One thing I want to point out is they make it a clear indicator of a "Collector's Edition," implying there MAY be a base version in the works. But I will confirm with you all how the 200 giant works out.

Well now I know why Special Reserve haven't opened very many preorders lately.

Sounds as though they're exiting the boutique space and are just going full retail.

Edit: P.S. - Darkside Detective 2 from Super Rare on the 9th.

PS5 copies will include DD1.

I can't remember who around here wanted a copy, but Lost Words is 50% off on AmazonNA.

Ugh was really hoping they'd do a duology for switch too the way axiom verge had a double pack after they had already released the first game. The PS5 version is cheaper than the switch version with one game on it too. With the original DD at around $80 on ebay... Sigh.

LRG sent me a shipment notice for my standard edition copies of Atari Mania and Radiant Silvergun! It’s been a long wait. 😐

There’s too much to play this time of year, but I still appreciate the shipment timing - lately Radiant S news has been popping up since it debuted on Steam recently. I never picked it up for my Saturn back then so I t’ll be nice to finally try the game out!

I just thought I’d share in case anyone else was awaiting word. Maybe this will inspire SLG to ship one of my ancient preorders, too!

I missed Darkside Detectives 1 on the Switch, so I only ordered the PS5 copy with both games on the disc.

Preorders for Beacon Pines through LRG begin on the 17th.

Much like Witch on the Holy Night, looks as though Aniplex are going to offer a limited edition of TSUKIHIME - A Piece of Blue Grass Moon at retail in Murica.

WotHN was one of the better visual novels I've experienced recently and TSUKIHIME is very well regarded, so this will probably land on my "most anticipated 2024" list.

This is less about the game and more about "oh, Sunsoft is still in business?"

Every time I hear that publisher's name it harkens back to their NES glory days.

These days, with so many publishers closing their doors, it's nice to see them fighting the good fight.

@Magician
It's good to see Sunsoft doing some stuff again, even if it's just re-releases or remakes.
The NES Hebereke getting a sequel slash remake looks pretty good too.

Definitely an import to look out for from Play-Asia, I've not seen this listed yet.

What little I’ve seen of NES Hebereke leads me to believe it’s a game I definitely would have liked, had I not hurried off to 16bit gaming as quickly as I did. It’s similar to Gimmick! In that regard. I definitely will import the Hebereke reboot on Switch.
After seeing Magician’s post, I found “Hebereke 2” listed on Amazon JP with a Leap Day release date. 😁

TSUKIHIME is up on AmazonNA.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CMJK9VY6

Also, if you need more visual novels in your collection, games like Variable Barricade, Dairoku, and Digimon Survive are down to $20 each.

Is Front Mission 2 getting a standard release or is it only on Forever Limited?

@Aurumonado Forever Limited only so far.

I'm not sure if 1st sold well enough for Microids to consider distributing 2 at retail.

P.S. - On a side note. If USPS tracking is to be believed, today after work might be my best day as a Switch collector. One game is my #2 all-time favorite and the other is a physical release I assumed would never happen. There are a couple other games in the mix, but ordering from LRG becomes a blur after a while.

They might be good? They might not be? We'll find out together, you and I.

@Magician
I had notices from LRG today, too: Alien: Isolation and Gimmick! will be en route shortly. And Radiant Silvergun with Atari Mania supposedly delivered. I’d call that a great day!

Was one of your 2 deliveries Alien Isolation? I’d given up on that physical release ever happening, until somehow it did.

@Teksetter Yes, Alien Isolation was one I was confident wasn't getting a physical release because the file size is over 16GB. But I'm happy to report that the complete game is on cartridge. No update prompt.

60% of the time Limited Run gets it right...all the time.

S*x Panther would be an interesting edition to one of their collectors editions!!

@MarioBrickLayer That release...smells like pure gasoline.

@Magician - To add to this, Strictly Limited has just hit me with a few shipping notices as well.
