I'm pretty sure that lack of cover text is just an artistic decision that iam8bit makes for their boutique releases. They like to see these things as art pieces.
The boutique release of Untitled Goose Game, somewhat fittingly, lacks a title and is just the logo on a plain backdrop. Whereas the retail release does have the proper cover text akin to the launch icon.

The only physical game I have from Dispatch Games is Soldam: Drop, Connect, Erase. I picked it up for like £10 from 365games and it was nothing special. I haven't ordered anything from their boutique individually.
Warned Collector's on the other hand, I did order Panpaku from them (and thankfully nothing else), but that company went belly-up and their site is gone. As for whether or not it was a scam or just terrible business we'll never know for sure.
As an aside, I avoid ordering stuff from Bad Land Publishing, after knowing what that company (then Bad Land Games) did to Thomas Happ and pocketed all the money he was entitled to for the sales of Axiom Verge.
They're doing an EU region release of Alpaca Ball for example, which has an Asia region release too by another company. I haven't ordered this game mind you.
Broforce will be opening on July 4th, running open pre-orders until August 31st
Broforce will be available as a Switch Single, or as a Reserve package that includes a SteelBook in addition to the standard game case
Following customer feedback, The Talos Principle and Disc Room will also be available as a Switch Single (instead of as a Reserve) for that same time period
Demon Throttle will also be available for open pre-order during that time, and as before, is a physical exclusive that won't be available digitally later
Will be grabbing Broforce, good game. And I already have orders for everything else up for preorder. Now...the question is what's next? Devolver Digital's back catalogue of games to publish physically on Switch is beginning to run thin. Gato Roboto? Reigns: Kings & Queens? Olija?
Still holding out hope for Shadow Warrior 1 & 2 to be made available on Switch at some point.

Oh that's right, their next game listed on their site is Loop Hero.
But, that game only has a PC release at this time, so it might be an indication that it's coming to Switch and/or PS4?
I mean Gato Roboto would be cool, I'm surprised it hasn't been done yet considering the developers did Demon Throttle.
Looking at their site, they could do games like Sludge Life, Exit the Gungeon, Katana Zero (seriously), Card Shark, yeah as you say it's running thin but it's not like they aren't signing on more developers over time.

I also noticed their Facebook appears to have been stripped of info? At least, it looks that way to me (I don't have a Facebook account, so, no clue if it's a privacy thing). Either way, not really looking good.

Merge Games will be offering an Anniversary Edition of Streets of Rage 4, with the upcoming Mr. X Nightmare DLC and current updates baked into the cartridge. Set for release on September 24th, I imagine preorders will pop up for this soon? Unlike the newer physical releases for Blasphemous or Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid, I'll be slamming that preorder button for SoR 4 AE.
SoR 4 is one of the best games I've played this year.

Took inventory of my physical imports. Thought I'd share as it covers a good number of imports others may not be aware of.
Be mindful that I had custom cover art printed for any games that didn't have English on the boxart. And Overwatch is just the main menu on cart with the full game as an update download. But it's still a cart. So I kept it in the NA case that said download.

At the moment I'm still interested in getting Hoa. https://www.amazon.com/Hoa-Nintendo-Switch/dp/B08YQLP14Y
At this time this is the only listing I've found. I'm hoping that it will be available somewhere like Amazon UK, GAME, or have an import listing on 365games or Bazaar-Bazaar.

Pix'x Love Publishing just announced that they'll be selling exclusive deluxe and collector's editions of No More Heroes III.
Sales go live July 8th UK time.
You can still order a standard version of the game elsewhere though, the usual places like Amazon, GAME, and 365games.
There's also the unusual news that Among Us is getting a physical release with three editions, through Maximum Games Store? https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2021/07/physical_and_collec... https://store.maximumgames.com/collections/games
The editions being "Crewmate", "Imposter", "Ejected" in rising value.
Among Us is a game as a service though which relies on being entirely onlnie multiplayer and having constant updates, so I'm not sure about this.
