Just the demo for Balan Wonderworld is being pulled, not the game itself. Clearly the game's sales potential took a hit by releasing that demo in the first place. By removing the demo, S-E wants to cease informing potential customers about how bad the game is. Just think, somewhere in the world some poor kid received Balan Wonderworld as a gift.
Getting a bad game as a gift is worse than getting clothes for Christmas.

I'm pretty sure it's just the demo being removed, not the full game.
I got my physical copy sitting on my desk now, still shrink-wrapped. I do intend to play it and experience this spectacle for myself, I'm honestly fascinated.
The game is unlikely to see any future prints, but retailers will still have stock to sell off. https://www.365games.co.uk/nintendo-switch-games/balan-wonder...
365games had ads running for this game too, but I get the feeling they may struggle to sell off stock and put it on sale eventually.
Edit: B-Side Games have just announced a Golden Week sale for their physical games.
30% off their whole selection for the next 30 days. https://b-sidegames.stores.jp/
To my knowledge this is still the only way to get a physical edition of Kamiko. They have a nice collector's edition that includes some acrylic character stands.

Not particularly interested in most of their titles, but i did take advantage of this to grab 2 of the ones I wanted at half the price. Xeodrifter and candleman
Oops, I failed to read the fine print on Balan Wonderworld. Still not getting it.
Is it worth getting a sealed copy of Super Mario 3D All-Stars? Millions of the game have been sold - I can't imagine it would be that much of a collector item. My local Wal-Marts have plenty of stock.
Anywho, EastAsiaSoft (Play-Asia) are partnering up with VGNY and rereleasing previous P-A exclusive physical releases. My assumption is this is how we'll get Switch physical copies of Cursed Castilla EX, Tacheyon Project, Bleed 1 & 2, One More Dungeon, Fall of Light, Severed, etc. Basically all of the EAS games that got PS Vita physical releases but not for Switch. This partnership was probably the reason why.

Rated 16, I don't think it has any actual nudity, just highly suggestive and raunchy imagery.
So not as bad as the other highly questionable PEGI 18 game published by Funbox Media that actually has adult-only illustration prints inside the game case.
Coming off of Unrailed, I'd say all five of those are strong choices.
Deponia might be the weakest choice, but since it's a collection, hardly weak.

Looks like Power Rangers is getting a third physical release.
Super Edition, hopefully with all the updates baked in.

The 5 upcoming Super Rare Game reveals are pretty solid, I'm particularly happy to see Abzu get a release, and Super Crush KO looks like a ton of fun.
I'm surprised the next Darkside Detective game wasn't announced but it might be a more obvious future release.
Also, the Nintendrew reveal video where these games were initially announced gave us an exact date for Abzu: April 23rd announcement, and April 29th public launch on their site.
Which is sooner than their usual 3-week release schedule. Unrailed was April 15th.
The demand hasn't been too strong, 30% standalone stock of 4000 units remain.
@Magician - Lord I hope so. Plan on keeping my LRG for completionist sake, but passed on the second release as they're literally a carbon copy with a code.
Neo Geo Pocket Color Selection Vol. 1 is getting US and EU physical distribution through Limited Run Games, and Pix'n Love Publishing.
Pre-orders open on April 22nd. LRG specifies a 4-week open pre-order window, Pix'n Love is less clear.
