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

9 years of shadow is prime for a physical. Would love to see it happen

Huh just found this whilst skipping through Amazon UK releasing 30 August:

Found the teaser trailer

Oh and by the way Cat Quest Full Trilogy is able to pre-order for 24 October

Mmm, physical release for Civ VII.

I immediately assume this will be post-patched not one, not twice, but many times.

@Bunkerneath - The triple pack of Cat Quest is so very enticing. Been trying to get as many of those as I can. Helps with spacing.

Also worth noting, LRG is just chugging out several of their orders finally. Getting several I have been waiting for since last year.

Also, seems to be that PNP games has a fee of Special Reserve's old reprints. Finally got my Inscryption.

Does anyone have an idea where I might find a copy of Rocket Knight Adventures: Re-Sparked? I missed the Limited Run release. I was hoping it would be on videogameplus.ca but so far it hasn't been.

@MarioBrickLayer - There is a possibility they have not received their shipments in as they may have ordered larger amounts. And knowing how a local store near me does the same with LRG, they usually are latter priority shipments.

And I JUST received my copy. So keep an eye out.

@Paraka Thanks! I hadn't considered that they may not have had a shipment yet, I assumed they had not ordered any. I had forgotten how long it takes LRG to ship, I had a game that showed as ready before last Christmas and I didn't receive it until February!!

Late to the party.

Valkyria Chronicles Remastered via LRG.

Regardless of if it's numbered or just a distribution game, count me in for one of those.

@Magician - It's numbered. 254.

Still wondering where 202 is.

I assume it's reserved for Braid Anniversary Edition, whenever that physical release gets finalized. It's a situation similar to their release of Super Meat Boy. Release #28 but wasn't available to preorder through LRG until (2021) years after the Best Buy (2018) exclusive cover variant.

@Magician

I agree - that Valkyria Chronicles physical will be a must-buy for me. I'll just hold off till closer to the deadline, in case LRG opens up the Wolfenstein 2 complete-on-cart edition or something else bundle-worthy before then.

Seeing the Indy and 3rd Party mini-Direct announced for tomorrow reminded me, we really need a physical release for Llamasoft: The Jeff Minter Story! And The Plucky Squire looks too good to be left languishing in the e-shop, too.

@Magician - It's fair, but would like to get a confirmation so we can catalogue.

@Teksetter - Llamasoft is an entry to the same series as Karateka, so I would assume it will have one. Plucky Squire is Devilver and they FINALLY started using Special Reserve for their releases after the buyout.

Any who knows about First Press Games might not be ready for this INSANE news...Sydney Hunter and the Curse of the Mayan might be coming soon! I know I sound crazy, but it's production status has changed from In Preparation to Finished!!!!!!!

Maybe a game available to order in 2022 might actually be shipped before the end of 2024!!!!!

Turns out the Tomb Raider 1-3 remaster collection physical got delayed to October 18th.

Like all the other finished games? From 5 years ago? And even Chained Echoes, that they dropped everything they weren't doing anything with, to speed run completion? Game or not, there's no reason to be excited because FPG is scum. Relief, maybe. That your money isn't gone forever, but they deserve no good will, no renewed hope, no trust. I'm worried about the reputation flip they will experience if they put out a damn game. And more people will throw money at them all over again.

So my immediate thoughts after the Pizza Tower reveal was that "surely Fangamer are doing a Switch physical release", considering they were selling Pizza Tower merch from before the game even launched.

And sure as hell they are.

A "Peppino kitchen timer", that's just an amazing chachki.

Not a surprise but still this puts a smile on my face

@Zuljaras Are we ever going to get Symphany and Rondo on Switch?

@GrailUK
Honestly probably not, thanks to Sony.
I'd love to have SotN on any Nintendo system someday, same for Rondo of Blood.

@GrailUK Nope. Sony paid for the remaster of SotN with the new voice acting on the PSP and Rondo on the PSP. Those are the only distributable copies of those games. The last port of SotN was on the 360 but that was the original PS1 game. I do not think this version is for the general public anymore. Maybe this is a side deal with Sony.

And that is why Requiem has those versions exactly And only for the PS4 and PS5

I think we are in the same boat with Lament of Innocence as it is PS2 Exclusive unlike Curse of Darkness.
