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

Good news from Limited Run Games. They have partnered with Capcom (all the yes!) Onimusha 2 is the first title. I asked about Arcade Stadium...and they said that's coming too. WOOP!

@GrailUK
I skimmed the LRG3 video, since it's a long watch, and was seeing a lot of nice stuff in there.
Particularly, they opened with a large assortment of Retroware stuff, and was pleased to see that Prison City was in there, it's a hidden gem.

@RupeeClock Yeah, I was all over that one!

@RupeeClock @GrailUK
I was pleased to see physical release trailers for Xenotilt and a collection of Pinball FX’s Bally/Williams games. Also, the He-Man beat ‘em up.

I’m glad to hear Capcom physicals are on the way too! Maybe that Ghosts & Goblins Resurrection is coming! I’d definitely get that and the Arcade Stadium releases. I do worry that LRG will needlessly spread those out across multiple volumes, though. And it’s a pity that Capcom would rather outsource than just self-publish.

@Teksette They told me on Twitter everything will be on the card. They are hoping to be able to bring Arcade Stadium 2 to physical too.

@GrailUK
Stadium 1 on one cart, Stadium 2 on another would be great! There are around 20 games in each volume, so keeping it a 2-vol physical set would be quite generous these days. (I’m thinking of all the 10-game vols. of NeoGeo games I bought from Arcade Archives this year.)

edit: Actually, it's more like 30 games in each volume! Stadium 1 kept me playing longer, but Stadium 2 has some real gems in there, too.

Lots of good stuff from the LRG 10th Anniversary VOD. I'm glad I didn't spring for a copy of Iron Meat second hand. Also not surprised the Fuga trilogy was opted. Sort of glad I didn't spring for Japanese copies. The only stinker I'm not too enthusiastic about is Slam City.

Most excited for Turbo Overkill.

Rather than beginning the day after Thanksgiving, Black Friday sales tends to be more of a month-long event beginning the day after Halloween. I'm eager to see what our retailers and boutique publishers will offer here in 2025. VGP has deep discounts outside of Black Friday, but tend to be even more gonzo during the holiday season.

Amazon, a little more infrequent. I'll see inventory-dump prices one year and nothing noteworthy the next year. And I've got a couple hundred Amazon space bucks I'm eager to spend.

Raiden Fighters Remix Collection coming from H2 Interactive

Spotted on Play-Asia that Lil Gator Game "Gator of the Year Edition" with the "In The Dark" DLC is getting a retail release in Europe and USA in April.
Previously this was Super Rare Games' 100th release.

Amazon US doesn't appear to have a listing yet, but Amazon UK does.

I'm not happy that Ys vs. Trails is a numbered LRG release.

Was happy to skip this arena fighter.

Makes me wonder if this opens the door for Trails of Cold Steel I & II physical releases or if they're still trapped in XSEED/Marvelous jail?

@Magician - Isn't the VA the only reason they have not localized it?

Nine sols is up for physical on fangamer EU

Box art for BlazBlue Entropy Effect X spotted online.

Snor Bros. Collection is also a numbered release, since LRG still has a struggle showing that blatently.

@Paraka
I wonder why LRG went numbered for this Snow Bros release?
All the prior releases were Clear River Games.

I'm weak, I couldn't wait for retailer Black Friday deals, I spent the Amazon spacebucks. Between that order, SRG shipping, and LRG shipping...next week is going to be special. Dis gonna be gud. Meanwhile, I'm still eager for VGP's holiday sale to go live, mildly annoyed their inventory for Fading Afternoon keeps going out of stock.

@RupeeClock - Probably this being a "collection," but personally I think this was a fill-in for another deal that dropped considering it's filling on of the holes in the list.

XSeed Games has canceled the Western release of the Corpse Party Tetralogy Pack, citing the ever-nebulous "current platform guidelines" as the reason.

The Japanese release (which does support English) is still available on Amazon.jp, though who knows for how long.

@Dimjimmer,

Just reminds me of the Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth situation all over again 🤬. One of the few things that have stopped me from wanting a Switch 2 guaranteed.
