Not sure if this has been mentioned yet, but for those curious, the Japanese Best Price version of Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night has the same 1.03 version on the cartridge as the original release.

That's disappointing to hear, the latest available update is 1.5.0, which has two new gameplay modes that also support local and online co-op play, 3 premium cosmetics parks and a free one based on the Shantae series.
The base game is 8.8 GiB whilst the 1.5.0 update is 6.59 GiB.
That would be 15.6 GiB altogether, which equates to 16.45 gigabytes so sadly it wouldn't fit on a 16GB game card.
That's probably why they didn't include the latest update, the cost would increase from needing to use a 32GB game card.

Thank you for the warning! No need to trade in my old Bloodstained cartridge, then. It saves me money but I still feel it’s a missed opportunity.

There was also an announcement for Spooky's Jumpscare Castle for physical as well.
I remember a small spike of fandom, then... Nothing.
I'm actually a big fan of Spooky's, I didn't realize it was on Switch in the first place! I see the release is by Rock It Games, can anyone vouch for them? They look new...
@bunkerneath I already have both Demon Throttle and Gato Roboto (two copies actually, due to the physical shipped with the game breaking bug), but I would rather like Gunbrella too.
It can't help but be noticed that iam8bit releases on their own site are only for collector's editions now, whilst Special Reserve Games basically closed up shop to change their physical release strategy with a proper retail presence. This is probably why the Doinksoft Collection was made.
Edit: also just spotted that Yars Rising, the surprise Wayforward Atari collab re-imagining Yars Revenge as a Metroidvania, is apparently getting a physical release. No concrete release date yet it seems. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Atari-Yars-Rising-Switch/dp/B0D47M19M2
@Bunkerneath
That Doinksoft collection is very enticing! Much like the Bitmap Bureau Collection in that it's 3 quality-looking indie games that I'd love to own physically, but never purchased singly.
I'm glad to see an ESRB version is listed on Amazon in the US, too, with an August 30 release date. I'll probably inquire about preorders at Gamestop tomorrow, when I pick up my copy of Paper Mario TTYD.
Final year of the Switch or not, there has been plenty to buy!

This package includes the remasters of the 1st, 2nd, and 4th games (the third hasn't been ported to Switch).
The previous double-pack release of 1 HD and 2 HD only provided the second game as a download code, this time all three games are promised to be on the game card.
The 4th game was made more recently and is a 2D sidescroller, unlike the original 3D platformer trilogy.
@Aurumonado
Offhand, I tend to doubt that LRG will allow you to combine the shipments, but it’s worth asking! If you sent them a message today, maybe they’ll reply tomorrow? It’s kindve unlikely though, as it’s a holiday weekend here in the States, plus they’re probably busy prepping for the sake.
Either way, good luck and happy shopping!

The blowout stock will be "in-stock" items, and previously when I attempted to order the 3DS print of Shantae and the Pirate's Curse, the checkout process via "Purple Dot" wasn't possible if I included pre-order items.
Removing all pre-order items then let me complete the check-out for the in-stock item alone, through the previous check-out process.
The Purple Dot check-out process seems to have since been amended to allow in-stock items to be ordered alongside pre-order items, I tested it just now with a pre-order item like Animal Well, and an in-stock item like a Neo Geo Shock Box case.
If you only order in-stock items, it still takes you to the original check-out process that isn't "Purple Dot".
@RupeeClock@Aurumonado
I hope Rupee’s right! I think I actually misread your question - LRG may very well let you order in-stock items together with preorder items and batch them into a single shipment.
What I thought you were asking was if in-stock items you order this week could be batched into a shipment with a previous, separate preorder you had placed. The likelihood of success in that scenario seemed low to me. 😅

The LRG blowout sale starts in just under 2 hours.
The site is currently in countdown mode so you can't explore their stock, but the imagery suggests they might be selling stock of The House of Fata Morgana which is considered a holy grail physical release, I overlooked it the first time it was available and will try for it.
@RupeeClock@Teksetter The sale is in one hour and I just tried checking out some preorders. Even just ordering Animal Well and Lara Croft collection does not combine the shipping.
After about 6-7 minutes of not loading, LRG's site loaded and the blowout stock ended up being underwhelming.
Not much on offer for Switch collector's, most of the Shantae stock is all PlayStation whilst the vast majority has been set aside for Switch blind boxes.
Annoyingly, searching for The House of Fata Morgana showed it as in stock, but the listing only has a "buy digital" link that goes straight to Nintendo.com.
Ya it was underwhelming but I did grab KOTOR II which somehow passed me by when it released. For those wondering: LRG did not combine the shipping with preorders, so I had to remove them from my cart. The sale items were purple dot and the preorders were not.
