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

Dex is up for pre order via red art

Mummy Demastered delayed:

"During #LRG3, we announced WayForward's The Mummy Demastered would get a Limited Run on July 31... however, our Prodigium agents are still getting things in order, so we need a few more months. Please stay tuned for an updated sale date later in the year."

I have 2 copies of Steamworld Quest, plus an extra cover that their support team sent me and all 3 have tears. Is it really just me that has issues with damaged cover inlays? Am I just too persnickety about perfection? I guess I give up on having a truly mint copy of Steamworld Quest.

Reach out to them; I’m sure they’ll send you new covers.

Amidst all the mentions of pre-order cancellations, I wanted to mention that my Cat Quest 1+2 Pawsome Pack order from 365games shipped today.

Despite their site listing the game under PS4, this is the Nintendo Switch version.

They sent me a replacement cover and when I reported back that that one was also damaged they apologized for my bad luck and that seems to be that.

Well that didn't take long. Less than a few weeks after release, The Blair Witch has already been marked down to nearly 50% off on AmazonJP. In my opinion, that suggests that this release probably won't get additional print runs. Good timing is good, I had my eye on a few other Japan exclusives. Time for an import order.

Another version of Dead Cells in NA:

@Belexes

Yeah, Signature Edition/Merge Games recently changed some of the marketing for the prisoner's edition to point out it'll have all the DLC on the cartridge. That isn't enough to convince me to buy this game a second time, but I'm sure other people will be interested.

@Magician
As I recall they manufactured 10,000 of these Prisoner's Editions.
I think they probably over-estimated the demand for such an edition and are struggling to sell-through, especially considering they didn't launch this simultaneously with a standard edition.

Yeah; I’m happy with my OG Signature Edition of Dead Cells. Have not and will not double dip.

We all knew RUINER was the next game from Special Reserve, but now we know when. Starting August 25th, open pre-order until September 18th.

@Miadaskate Really like that Special Reserve has moved to the open pre-order model for some of their releases. Gives the wallet time to recharge.

Same. I hope they do this more than the limited copies.

Harvest Moon: One World LE preorder is up on NIS America. Usually I preorder any new NIS America Switch release without thinking twice. But we all know Story of Seasons are the true Harvest Moon games. And this is $30 over msrp for an ost, a few pins, and a cloth poster.

What what what?

First show me some extended gameplay, Natsume.

I hope one is Save Me Mr. Tako

Japanese game publisher Pikii is also releasing Ikaruga physically.
