Putting aside issues of availability, it looks like Europe gets the best version of the SE, since it also comes with the plastic case, by the looks of it.
The Switch versions of Tony Hawks and Destroy All Humans are out very soon but I've seen no footage since they were first revealed! Tony Hawks at least has some old IGN gameplay footage released around the time of the reveal, Destroy All Humans has nothing but the trailer... I hope the reviews come in soon.

Where’d you read that? Not that I care much anymore. I’ve grown rather calloused and numb to it this generation, but all the boxarts look normal to me.

Ah ok. The NA boxart doesn’t have any disclaimers on it which is why I was like huh? At least I’ll know to expect it. Not that it matters. Buying digitally anyways. Physical is just for the collection.

I almost forgot. So yesterday I looked into something I've been curious about. The people who make mainline Mario Kart also made Arms. But considering they did not technically make either the mobile Mario Kart nor Mario Kart Live, I've been curious what they've been up to.
And as far as I can tell, in the past four years, none of the three directors of Arms have followed up with anything at all. They've worked on nothing at Nintendo at all that has been released. So to me this means the Mario Kart team, has been absent from any known games, for four years. I guess maybe three years because Arms had updates, but somewhat often updates don't involve the entire team that made it.
I just think its the one interesting thing to note about the eternally missing Mario Kart 8 follow-up. Which will make it even funnier if they announce Arms 2.
@kkslider5552000 I bet MK 9 is ready or nearly done by now but they decided not to release it because they don't need to as MK 8 is still selling like crazy and they will wait until it stops selling (or Switch itself) even if that means another 2 years lol
@Balta666@kkslider5552000
Imagine if MK9 comes out of nowhere to be the big December game aside from Advance Wars. They would have to print 10+ million copies to have enough for the holiday season alone lol
@Balta666 I agree. Next year's release schedule doesn't need MK9 with the heavy hitters it has (Pokemon Legends / Splatoon 3 / Breath of the Wild 2), and there's no way it's coming this year. And 2023 will be when Switch turns 7. So holding it back to be a launch title for the next system would be a huge boon, even if they make it cross-gen.
While it theoretically could come next year... that'd put 2022 on par with 2017 for major titles released (with Pokemon Legends subbing in for Mario Odyssey).
1-2 Switch - (An experimental game)
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - LoZ: BotW2
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe - Mario Kart 9
ARMS - The heavily rumored Kirby 2022
Splatoon 2 - Splatoon 3
Pokkén Tournament DX - (A Wii U port, XCX/WW/TP/Yoshi)
Fire Emblem Warriors - Bayonetta 3 (Outside Collab)
Super Mario Odyssey - Pokemon Legends (Flagship Title)
Snipperclips (Plus) - (An eshop title)
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 - Project Triangle Strategy (Major JRPG)
Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle - Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope
I was basically able to fill up the entirety of 2017's schedule with what we know of 2022 (+ the inevitable Wii U port and major eshop title, and assuming Bayo 3 and Kirby do hit as expected) assuming MK9 was to release then. And that doesn't even take into account the rumors of a new DK on the way as well.
So yeah, unless there's some crazy need to throw the Switch back into the limelight to counter the PS5 / XBSX (which is definitely not yet an issue), I think MK9 would be held back if completed at this point. Same goes for Prime 4 and Monolith's ARPG tbh, there's almost no way they'd release it in 2022 even if it was completed, better to hold it back for 2023.
Switch Physical Collection - 1,251 games (as of April 24th, 2024)

@Slowdive Woah, that's a fascinating piece of news. Not a rumor either. So Nintendo's paying them to publish 'several' titles. Even if the FF Collection is one, that still brings up the question of what else...? I wonder if they're having them develop remakes of something from Nintendo's catalog after being impressed by the FF Collection?
Can't imagine that FF collection impressed them, to be perfectly honest. Nothing about it seemed any different or better than the thousand other retro game collections out there.
Probably just a matter of High demand, low supply. Here's an available studio looking for work, and they can pass along some easy jobs for retro collections and remasters.

The FF "collection" is going to be the 1st 6 games, that will be available individually, @link3710 .... I was initially a bit confused by 'collection', too! Assuming those do well, which seems highly likely, though, it might well encourage Nintendo &/or others to do something similar with other classic games
