I bought my last eShop purchase for a while the other day, and it consisted of:
-Dust: An Elysian Tail
-No More Heroes
-No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle
-Runner3
I only have a few more things on my wishlist, and at this point, they're all $30 or over, so I'm planning on waiting for a lot of sales or whenever my physical purchases are done.
Super Retro Platformer Collection (Asia)
I bought this merely for the novelty of having a Commander Keen game (Keen Dreams "Definitive Edition") on a physical cartridge (the cover art depicts the final boss as well, but not Keen himself, likely due to legal reasons as he is owned by Bethesda/iD Software).
It's a rubbish version of an already mediocre (and very short) game, but I've completed all of the levels and objectives (as awful as most of the new levels were), so I got a good few hours out of it at least. The previous port by Lone Wolf was far, far superior (it was almost indistinguishable from the original DOS release), but is unfortunately no longer available.
The other games on the cartridge have horridly cheap looking icons and are utter crap (Macbat 64 contains inexcusably frequent spelling and punctuation errors, in addition to looking absolutely hideous). What a bizarre choice of games for a physical release. No wonder this didn't release anywhere else in the world. The packaging and everything else is in English though. Unless you're compelled to own any of the games in this release physically, avoid it. It's complete rubbish, all things considered. No patches required for any of the games though, which is one of its very few virtues.
Football Manager 2023 Touch (Korean)
I was very pleasantly surprised to stumble across a physical listing for this on Play-Asia. This was one of few digital exclusives that I wished had a physical release, and I was glad to see one finally materialise, especially with the FIFA games on Switch being updated versions of FIFA 19 nowadays.
The packaging and everything is in English. The presentation is a little underwhelming though (the matches themselves look ugly and most of the players don't seem to have viewable portraits, unlike the FIFA games). Either way, I'm glad to have a physical copy and at a decent price. It remains to be seen whether this is a good alternative to FIFA's manager mode (which, for all of its faults, is a pretty polished experience).
Metroid Prime Remastered
'Nuff said. I'll try and get around to playing this soon as the Prime games have passed me by for too long. To date, the only Metroid game that I have seen to completion is Metroid Prime Hunters on DS.

Nah. I just figured now was a good time to pull the trigger. Although it has been marked down 50% for the longest time, I was feeling daffy last week and thought. "eh, why not."

LEGO Star Wars- The Skywalker Saga (JPN Phy)
Metroid Prime Remastered (JPN Phy)
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (JPN Phy)- What's interesting about this, is that this region release wasn't as common to find. Is this version more of a collectible than the rest??

PSA! "Salt and Sanctuary" is at an all-time low in the Switch e-shop... 3.39 £GBP for UK players.
Honestly such an awesome game, basically a 2D-Dark Souls with some Metroidvania elements. It borrows heavily from FromSoftware, but in the best possible way. Loads of build diversity and replayability.
IMO this is the most solid non-FromSoftware 'Souls' title out there today, and am absolute steal at this sale price.
If you're looking to scratch an EldenRing itch, or generally love Souls-esque games, I would highly recommend that S&S becomes your next Switch purchase
