Thimbleweed Park Is Getting A Physical Release On Switch

Another one late to the physical release party. Is there a European release? I doubt it. I've seen this publisher publish other Indie Switch games and when they say limited quantities, they mean limited, like 5,000 copies was one example. What on Earth are "feelies"? Physical tat, I presume.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE LRG has never published a Switch game before, I don't know what you're talking about.

@link3710 Sorry, mixed them up with SuperRareGames.

Still have to finish this game. I was near the end, but something else grabbed my attention and I never got back to it.

Fun game though.

my most enjoyable e shop game so far <3

i doubt ill double dip again but i don't see it worth the price even for physical

@SLIGEACH_EIRE Ah okay, that makes sense.

No! Not again! I will never buy another eshop game again. Why does it take so long for some of these publishers to announce physical releases?

@Kejomo you do know limited run are not the original publishers of these games right. They are small team of people who make a big effort to distribute physical versions of games which are currently only available in digital format.

Limited run deserve huge props for what they are doing.

I’m a physical copy collector and this date is marked in my calendar.

@kobashi100 depends on your perspective I guess. As a Vita owner I think the majority of the games they published were mediocre to bad with some notable exceptions and I find their business model disgusting since as you can see every time they announce a new pre-order the scalpers over on Ebay and elsewhere rejoice and pop champagnes. Of course you can say that the clue is in the name and that these games are supposed to be limited run due to the small nature of the company etc etc. So how about this-btw not my idea others have proposed it and I think it makes perfect sense: allow ANYONE who wants to put in a pre-order within a set amount of time. No limits, anyone can pre-order, no 5 or 7 thousand copies [email protected]@@it. Then withdraw the money immediately, which you will already make clear in the checkout process. Then put in the order for the amount of copies needed. That way if somebody was just trying to scalp you won't lose your money since you've already taken it and everyone else gets a copy.

Was kind of hoping they'd get Golf Story as their first one. This is cool too. I'm gonna try and get it, although I'm guessing my chances are slim.

Sweet mother YES!

@SLIGEACH_EIRE
I think they just mean a manual that you can "feel".

Seems like so many games are being released as physical versions all of a sudden. I only tend to buy retail games that have a large file size like Mario Kart, Breath of the Wild, Super Mario Odyssey etc.

Good game(not finished yet), and physical for collectors is great idea!

This kind of release is in no way a benefit to consumer unless you like gettig scalped.

@gortsi Looking at Limited Runs twitter, that is exactly what they are doing for the standard edition. The deluxe edition is limited but the standard is being sold as an open pre-order for a limited period of time, which is what they did for Ys origin.

@paulmcgrath13 oh I haven't checked them out recently, that's great news and I'm glad to see they finally changed their stance. Thank you for letting me now

@Randomlight I agree.

I'm torn on whether I should get this. Has anyone played it and can recommend it?

Dammit I already bought this game. It was great and all, but I wish I could have gotten the physical version instead. This sucks.

I think I’m going to pre-order this. Great that LRG are starting to publish for Switch

It's nice for the collectors and hardcore physical peeps out there, but considering how cheap the game is digitally, I'm going to have to pass.

So, it appears that the Switch version is an OPEN PRE-ORDER and is not actually limited. They are using this game to gauge interest in the Switch platform so they can produce relatively accurate numbers for future Switch games.

Expensive.

@hordak any idea when the open preorder will begin?

@MellowMonster Their website shows "It will be available on Friday, March 30th, 2018 at 10 AM Eastern Time."

@Hordak Thank you! Was thinking that’s when they were shipping. I’ll be ready and waiting.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE Its Limited Run there is no anything release. Its one batch of 2000 copies. get in quick and try your luck. Thats how it works.

@kobashi100 yes I know. My point was that I wish whoever is publishing these games would announce them sooner. I would wait for a physical release. Thimbleweed Park has been out for 6 months. If they would have announced this 3 months ago I would have waited to buy it.
