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

A PEGI release of Chocobo GP has appeared on Amazon.fr.

Until now, the only physical listings I'd seen were for JP or Chinese releases with no known English language support.

Castlevania Requiem is up for pre-orders I opted in for the Ultimate edition

@Zuljaras If it wasn't exclusive to PS4 I'd care.

But it is, so I don't.

@RupeeClock

Hmm, that makes me wonder if Chocobo GP will get a retail release in Murica or possibly an S-E online store exclusive release like Lost Sphear did?

@Magician
Likewise, I wish we got this so we could finally have SotN on any Nintendo system, but still no.

@Magician I would love to have those games on the Switch but it is impossible. Sony paid for those ports

I just couldn't skip it as a CV fan

Come to think of it. We never got a SONT on a cartridge through all of its ports. Man I would really love a SOTN on a cartridge not a disc

Gearbox Publishing are serving up a Murican physical release for Astroneer. Previously the physical release was Japan-only. However, this North American release is set for February 18th. I'll probably bundle this with a copy of Disco Elysium, since Disco Elysium hasn't been made available to preorder through Amazon yet...for whatever reason.

Anyone here getting Loop Hero from Special Reserve Games? The pre-orders are until the 21st

Super Rare will be announcing their second release of 2022 on Friday.

Not the easiest clue this time.

????? ??? ??????

How about a double pack for "Limbo and Inside"? The absence of a physical release for either on Switch thus far is curious.

@Magician most are guessing it is Horace. Seems to fit the clues.

1st Press take so long to deliver that not only do they have to check if the order shipping address is still current, but that the person that ordered the game is still alive.

First Press Games really do take forever, I've got some of my orders from them now as I didn't order any Switch titles until their 10th release of Crimzon Clover World EXplosion, but I'm still waiting on many more and they've not announced anything new in ages.

Also I'd love to see Horace get a physical release, it makes total sense for Super Rare Games to do it.

Your next physical preorder from Red Art is...Croixleur Sigma. Meh, that's a pass for me. I'd rather play any other 3D hack'n slash. Any.

Nope, that money is going towards Astalon via LRG this Friday.

I saw Astalon showcased during AGDQ 2022 just a week ago, and thought it looked superb.
I looked up if it was going to get a physical release then, and saw that this was planned, but for a launch this week is extra cool.

It has a demo on the eShop by the way, well worth checking out.

Not sure if this was ever posted, but you can buy the sequel-esque DLC Repentance for The Binding of Isaac from the Nicalis Store: https://store.nicalis.com/products/the-binding-of-isaac-repen...

It will probably get released elsewhere at some point, but seeing as I really love The Binding of Isaac, I had to make sure I get a copy.

Well now there's one less game I'll have to import.

LRG will be distributing Cogen alongside Gunvolt Chronicles: Luminous Avenger iX 2.

That's a bother, I already pre-ordered Cogen from Play-Asia.
Cogen has some bonus DLC based on Luminous Avenger iX 2 you see, you can play as Copen, the protagonist.
The end of the month is going to be a huge LRG purchase for me.

LRG beating up my wallet - goes in waves.

With the release of The Artful Escape next week, I wonder how long it'll be until iam8bit open preorders for a physical copy?

Holy crap, Mulaka just shipped. Feels like I ordered that like two years ago.

So Super Rare Games are doing a digital publishing label called Super Rare Originals, not unlike how Limited Run Games have helped with some digital published titles. It's not just Switch, but consoles and PC in general.
The five titles they've announced to start with only have Steam listings though, no consoles.

One of the games they're digitally publishing is The Gecko Gods, a neat indie title I saw at something like The Whole Direct a while back that caught my attention.
It goes without saying that Super Rare Originals are candidates for SRG physical releases, if they have a Switch version.

I kinda wonder what this means for Super Rare Shorts though.

Also Croixleur Sigma pre-orders just opened over at Red Art Games.
Reminder that discount code SWATCH10 might work.
