Guys have a few laughs at the THQ support response after I asked again about Darksiders 3 on the Switch:
ME: "So if I buy the game and insert the cartridge in the Nintendo Switch I can't play the game right away? I still need to update it or it won't run at all?"
THQ Support:
"Thank you for your mail.
We are sorry for the inconvenience.
Unfortunately we are unable to help you with your question. It might be possible that the title will not even launch, or it might launch but exhibit issues if not updated."
@RupeeClock Definitely going to pickup Razion EX. Surprised this is coming to the eShop as I remember a Shmup Junkie video on YouTube where he asked the devs about it being physical only and they said they wouldn't release it digitally after Gunlord X sold so badly on eShop.
@Paraka
Not necessarily automated, they might have a real person responding, but only using a canned or templated response because it's a common question that they feel doesn't need a higher level response.
It's still a pain though, not knowing if the physical game you're buying is really a form of digital license for necessary downloads or not. Thankfully it happens less often than not.
Alwa's Awakening and Alwa's Legacy are getting a combined physical release called Alwa's Collection, open pre-order for Switch and PS4 already available through LRG. https://limitedrungames.com/collections/neo-frontpage/product... https://limitedrungames.com/collections/neo-frontpage/product...
LRG are not selling standard edition release here, both games are on a single cartridge.
Officially though, a standard edition of Alwa's Collection will be hitting retail later this year.
I would recommend these games, pretty solid adventures.
These all have an estimated shipping date of October 2021, so in the pretty near future.
They are probably already produced, but despite that have an open pre-order system?
@RupeeClock Alwa's Collection, eh? Nice, although I'll be holding out for a standard copy.
[OT] P.S. - Previously P-A just had a landing page for Life is Strange 1 & 2 Remastered, but now it appears that preorders are being taken. The retail version of LiS: True Colors is just a code in the box, so I assume this version has both games on cartridge? I'm not sure. https://www.play-asia.com/life-is-strange-remastered-collecti...

I've heard great thing about the Alwa games, so I'm looking forward to picking up the standard release once it's available! I love how many indie games are getting physical releases these days, though it's getting difficult to keep up.
@RupeeClock LRG had open pre-orders for Hyper Light Drifter despite it having quick turnaround. I'm guessing this is a similar case where they've already produced a number of copies, and if the amount of pre-orders exceeds the amount produced, they'll produce more as soon as possible.

@VIIIAxel
That might be the case, I checked the listings for the Alwa releases again later yesterday and saw the estimated shipping date changed to December 2021 instead.

Finally got a shipping notification for my longest outstanding LRG order.
A standard copy of Corpse Killer.
Check your emails, I actually got a shipping notification this time.

@Magician
My order with Corpse Killer is finally all ready too, it will probably ship this week.
Another order of mine that included standard copies of No More Heroes 1 and 2 is also expected to ship very soon, I'm not sure what held that one up.
My condolences to whomever bought a copy of Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid - Super Edition. The third physical release for the game. Well, season four DLC was just announced for the game. I think it's safe to assume we'll see a record-breaking fourth physical release for this game.
Crazy stuff, it's Street Fighter II all over again, except Power Rangers doesn't have the same cache Street Fighter does.

I'm only aware of Dead Cells having four versions. Standard original, Signature Edition original, Action Game of the Year edition, and the Prisoner's Edition. And considering the What's The Damage dlc dropped back in August I'm surprised there hasn't been a fifth physical release announced for Dead Cells yet. The Power Rangers situation feels a bit more slimy since the newest cartridge just released recently.
