iam8bit are doing a collector's edition physical release of Ori and the Blind Forest, and Ori and the Will of the Wisps together in a gorgeous albeit expensive set, shipping December 2020.
Release is available for Switch, Xbox One, and PC. iam8bit's Twitter account's recent tweets suggests they might do a PS5 release.
No mention of a standard edition as of yet.
I find the Xbox One release interesting as Microsoft dictates minimum prints of 10k, unlike Nintendo and Sony's minimum prints of 1k. This is probably done with Microsoft's support.
Switch Physical Collection - 1,252 games (as of April 30th, 2024)

Yup, it's no wonder people are asking for a standard physical release.
Given it's a major title and that they've already had retail physical releases on the Xbox family of systems, I get the feeling that this will also see a retail release like Untitled Goose Game or Sayonara Wild Hearts.

I wouldn't worry, the Ori games should be getting individualized releases at retail. Although they'll probably be Best Buy exclusive like some of the other iam8bit releases were (Sayonara Wild Hearts, Gorogoa, Kentucky Route Zero, etc.) and without all the extra swag, naturally.

Some bigger titles like Sayonara Wild Hearts and Untitled Goose Game are also getting European releases, that are available on the likes of Amazon and 365games
Since the Ori games are quite big themselves, they'll probably see a similar release.
Titles like Donut County and Gone Home don't seem to be getting this treatment, though Gone Home did get a reprint through their site.
My SLG order for Darius Cozmic Collection has been stuck in Chicago for two weeks now.
USPS service request submitted.

My triple pack order from 1printgames hasn't shipped yet, but it should be any day now.
Special Reserve Games were due to open pre-orders for The Swords of Ditto: Mormo's Curse, and Crossing Souls tomorrow, but they've pushed this back to September 29th now.
I'm interested in Swords of Ditto anyway, not Crossing Souls.

Same! Glad they held off for a few more days. I get paid on Friday!

Even so, I'm sticking to the collector's edition I pre-ordered. Pricey as it may be it's a lovely looking set and doesn't take up a huge amount of space.
Same for me with the Ori CE; I bought the CE assuming the Ori games would have individual releases, but the CE swag was what sold me.
P.S. My SLG order for Lode Runner Legacy is preparing to ship. Now if only LRG production would get caught up. I have around twenty-five individual orders on hold through them. Lots of releases (Streets of Rage 4, Brigandine, etc.) being held because other games in those orders are still in production. Ugh, waiting, it's always the hardest part.

I know exactly that feeling with LRG right now. Long fulfillment times are normal, especially with bundled orders which is usually what I do, but I've placed ten separate orders this year and only the first one from January 1st has been fulfilled.
My order for Vitamin Connection Collector's Edition was back in January and it still hasn't completed production. Mighty Switch Force Collector's Edition was completed quite a while ago too.
My order for Atooi Collection 3DS has also not shipped just because of a Fangamer pin badge I ordered...
