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

@Miadaskate Thanks for the heads up. I've been waiting for the NA release for some reason.

You’re welcome. I’ve been waiting as well. Good things come to those who wait!

Just a reminder, if you're an rpg fan, Maglam Lord's western release is next month. It won't be an award-winner, but I think it'll be a solid 7/10 experience with a low-ish physical print run. That single-plane combat reminds me of Tales of Phantasia. I'm kind of smitten.

@Magician Hadn't come across this before - looks pretty decent from the trailer and Amazon UK also have a pre-order 50% discount too. Can't really go wrong at that price, thanks for the heads up

Pocky & Rocky Reshined is up on P-A.

@Magician
I'm definitely grabbing that, I've been looking forward to Pocky & Rocky Reshrined for some time.
Play-asia has a persistent 5% discount code SWITCHMANIA you can use too.

Since it's an Asia English release, I imagine it'll show up on sites like Bazaar-Bazaar and 365games/shop4megastore too, but to be honest 365games haven't been keeping up on adding Switch games for pre-order lately.

For those Murican collectors who want the special edition of Triangle Strategy, I notice preorders have opened over at Shop4. Personally, I think the swag in this edition looks lackluster. I'll be content with a standard copy. But hey, someone else round these parts might want to throw down a preorder.

@RupeeClock @Magician Is Pocky and Rocky getting a physical english release or is this our only option?

@Aurumonado
I doubt this'll be the only option, as this came from the same team that brought us Wild Guns Reloaded, and The Ninja Saviors Return of the Warriors.
The former got a wider US retail release and a limited EU release via Strictly Limited Games.
And the latter got wider US and EU retail releases from ININ games, which fall under the same umbrella as SLG.

I hope LRG slow down their Switch preorder frequency here in 2022.

I now have 20 orders (40 games) awaiting fulfillment.

@Magician
I have 7 orders with around 32 Switch games awaiting fulfillment here. I place fewer orders nearer the end of pre-order windows to save on international shipping.
I'm thankful that LRG have managed to maintain affordable shipping on orders delivered to the UK, where other companies like Special Reserve Games and Fangamer.com have not.

I was planning on placing an order today actually, but LRG announced an extension for their Monster Sanctuary pre-orders, so they can bundle the Forgotten World DLC.
As a result, I've decided to order Windjammers 2 from Pix'n Love instead, and will be placing an order at the end of the month so I can bundle Gunvolt Chronicles: Luminous Avenger iX 2 into it.

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.
