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

Strictly Limited Games are serving up a physical release for Breakers Collection.

We have a Nexomon + Nexomon Extinction double pack coming.

@Magician
Yay ! 😃
Nexomon + Nexomon Extinction on PS4.

@Magician
Yeah, there was an NLife article on it yesterday.
I had a passing interest in the game but never picked up Extinction as a standalone release, so this is good for me.

Too common a tale that a game gets re-released and the earlier print loses value through it, this release apparently has some added content in terms of post-game and more monsters.

Endling is getting a physical release from HandyGames.
Not heard of them before or aware of any previous physical releases they may've done.

Interestingly, their physical release doesn't use the standard plastic game case at all; entirely paper.
That makes the packaging more fragile though, to protect it you'll ironically want to invest in something like a plastic protective case.

@RupeeClock like the game, they expect us to play survival with the packaging.

@Magician
The second wave for Breakers Collection from Strictly Limited Games is open, but the demand seems pretty low.
They've been open for approaching an hour, but the standard edition is still at 97% of 4000 units, and the collector's edition is at 99% of 3000 units.
Even the aluminium art cards, which usually sell out very quickly due to only producing 149 of them, is at 79%.
These percentages are similar for the PS4 and PS5 releases too, which have a smaller combined print number than the Switch releases.

Zero Tolerance Collection didn't see much demand either, but they aren't printing as many of them.
They've really over-estimated the demand for Breakers Collection here, they must've thought it would be higher demand as a "hidden gem Neo Geo fighter"?

Multiple distribution releases going live today on LRG, including an ESRB release of Kao the Kangaroo (with standard and collector's editions), Godstrike, and Sword of the Necromancer.
On Friday, a new LRG numbered release for UNSIGHTED with standard and collector's editions.

Sword of the Necromancer had an Ultra Collectors Games PEGI release, that is sold out through their site but can still be found in places like Game.co.uk or Play-asia.

It looks like Kao the Kangaroo's collector's edition release is not the recently announced "Kaollector's Edition" that'll be limited to 5000 pieces.

The LRG distributed releases are open pre-order.

Surprise pre-order from Fangamer.

Slime Rancher Plortable Edition pre-orders open now, expected to ship October 28th.

Limited Run Games will offer Shredder's Revenge but as a EU citizen I will order it from a local retailer

It looks like my early June LRG order is going to be pretty large then, I wasn't sure about the Cowabunga Collection but I'll definitely grab Shredder's Revenge.

Also, Special Reserve Games will have Card Sharks pre-orders opening June 2nd.
Cult of the Lamb, and Gato Roboto are both still awaiting a pre-order date, I'm hoping they're overlapping.

I'm mildly shocked at how nice the new slipcases are for Premium Edition's recent releases. Heavy duty cardboard, much like the one used for Ikaruga. Color me impressed at the quality of it. As a result, I think I'll be placing an order for Wunderling and Rain On Your Parade later this evening.

It's about time.

Slime Rancher via Fangamer, yo.

@Magician
I'm looking forward to ordering that, but it'll probably be through videogamesplus.ca, since Fangamer.com's shipping to the UK is just too damn expensive.
Or otherwise their awkward pre-order system of "this game and NOTHING ELSE FROM OUR STORE".

@Anti-Matter

I've got some good Anti-bait here.

Potion Permit is getting a physical release from publisher PQube later this year.

@Magician
Oh, that game. 🙂

I remembered it was made by Indonesian indie developer.
I will check my local game stores once the physical version already out.

Also, interesting part.
Even from Indonesian developer, they always choose to release their games in physical on Nintendo and PlayStation but never on XBOX.
It was clear XBOX is dead for Indonesian peoples and will never be a prior choice to invest to Microsoft.

Here comes Funstock with another one. Astronite.

Looks like Temtem is getting a Switch physical release (and a Switch release at all, I was unaware of this).

It's one of the few games that requires Nintendo Switch Online to play it though.

@RupeeClock
I think it's pointless to have physical release but need total online to play the game.
You will unable to play that game once the servers get shut down.

@RupeeClock - I do remember Temtem being announced, took their time I take it to slow walk that release.

Also, that "1.0" bit concerns me. Sounds like there will be a more complete release later. At least they're hopeful of one.
