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

It turned out The House of Fata Morgana actually was restocked, but it looked like I missed out due to technical issues with their site.
Go figure.

@RupeeClock @Aurumonado
That rots that Fata Morgana went unavailable so quickly. 😔
I didn’t browse the sale till an hour after it started, and Morgana was sold out already then. I got a copy of Shantae and the Seven Sirens in my shopping cart, but was informed it was sold out before I could check out.

I did find a bunch of games I passed on before, but splurged a bit and bought now: Valis Collections 1&2, Vagante, Lunark, and a few others.

Super Rare teasing a release for Cassette Beasts?

I saw Super Rare is running a Summer Blowout Sale of their own, starting tomorrow (5/30). Up to half off of some in-stock items. I’m shopped out for moment though.

Maybe SLG should run a sale, too - liquidate some more inventory so they can produce and ship all the games we’ve preordered from them since 2022. 😑

Edit, 5/30: I meant Strictly Limited Games (SLG), not LRG. Ugh all these acronyms!

So added up all the games I just received from my imports and LRG finally following through.

1,798. I am two games away from 1,800. Got a few still in transit, surprised I have came this far.

@Paraka
That's truly an astounding number of Switch games! The Paraka Video Game Museum opens when?

I just topped 300 physical Switch games last week, with the addition of Paper Mario: TTYD and the delivery of MythForce and Castlevania Advance Collection from LRG. My kids think I'm crazy, just at that quantity! Honestly, I'm surprised myself.

I've never before shopped so hard for any single console. It's just been the perfect little system for me, and one that attracted an unending flow of tempting first-party, third-party, and indie titles spanning all kinds of genres.

@Teksetter - I always had a self-driven goal of collecting all games for a console I had. Almost reached it during the GCN before family used to criticize me about my priorities. Even when I stopped buying that last year, the criticisms remained.

Generations later, I simply have not had that same spark till the Switch. Figured my passive and excess income can be better used here as opposed to external tickets and passes we barely used (ended up handing them out most often, suffice to say extended family members are not happy).

Never figured the Switch wpuld take off so fast, so hard and last so long. Insane little system and I honestly pretty content if it stayed this way.

@Paraka Congrats on the milestone.

Out of curiosity, which game might you designate as # 1800?

@Magician - Well, I have about 5 incoming from LRG and Super Rare.

What I will probably do is wait till all shipments come through by Friday, place them all in a box and blindly pull each out. The last one will be designated #1800.

Did something similar with #1000, which ended up being Bibi & Tina's Horse Adventure. Was rooting for Skully for that one. But my shipments are all good picks this time, so it's hard to pick a favorite.

Need to go through mine for a new count and sort which I've played etc.
But need the wife to be working as she has no clue how many I have
It was 150 in Sept 22, but no idea how many more...

Wow no comments in 9 days! I'm excited about the Slay the Princess physical as well as the major update! There's so many damn good games coming out.

I'm also looking forward to Bo: Path of the Teal Lotus, LISA, Umbraclaw, and OH MAN, Cassette Beasts and Animal Well!

What is your favorite physical coming out this year?

@Hamstrman
Fantasy Life for Switch
Princess Peach Showtime
Paper Mario TTYD

@Hamstrman
Yeah, the thread has been quiet this week! I was missing updates from Magician or somebody, and actually feeling a little guilty myself about not posting anything…😅

Maybe everyone’s in a wait and see mood bc of the impending Direct?

As for me, I’m excited to get quirky games like Rose and Camellia and Oregon Trail on preorder recently. They’ll really add more variety to my physical collection.

Also this past week I preordered Yars Rising (being the old, nostalgic person I am) and Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered deluxe edition , too. That latter seemed like a good value for USD $50, coming with a soundtrack CD and other goodies.

Tsukihime - A Piece of Blue Grass Moon

Regarded as one of Type Moon's best stories. Coming off of Witch on the Holy Night, which I thought was a top-ten visual novel I experienced last year. All I know is that vampires are involved. Which is all I needed to hear because I love me my vampire-themed entertainment.

Neon Blood physical release coming to Europe.

Well, finally got around to adding all my games together that have arrived. So I finally surpassed the 1800 mark.

And everyone celebrate game #1800; Eiyuden Chronicles: Hundred Heroes, with the runner up being Shadows Over Loathing.

@Paraka
That would be a huge task just to catalog them all - congratulations!
I guess you could call it Eiyuden Chronicles: Eighteen Hundred Heroes

I went into my excel sheet just for kicks - I'm at 306 physical Switch games, with 25 more currently preordered and awaiting delivery. Some 5 or so of those were from Strictly Limited Games, so they may never arrive at this rate...

Incidentally, my number 300 was Space Invaders Invincible Collection. It was an in-stock sale item from SLG.

@Teksetter - That's clever, actually.

But keeping catalogue is easy when you start the moment you start collecting. Something I have been doing since the N64. Just so much easier to keep an eye on.

Also learned about and started using Gameye app as well, which also reports on prices too.

I hear you there — it’s definitely much easier to log everything in real time than it is to backtrack and try to enter data retroactively.
I started my game collection sheet in 2022, mainly just for my Switch games, but trying to sleuth out details on my 2017-2021 purchases was tiresome and still not complete.

Given time, I might build the sheet out to include my older possessions. Maybe I’ll be able to include details like date of purchase and which store in Japan or the US I bought at, if the receipts in the boxes haven’t faded blank.

But there would be so much more data to reminisce about if I started cataloging years ago, as you did! Better late than never, though! It’s a fun exercise, either way.

Lots of preorders inbound coming off of yesterday's Direct. ESRB copies for Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection, Romancing Saga 2 Remake, Dragon Quest III, Ace Attorney Investigations, Wacky World of Sports, Farmagia, etc.
