In March this year, the cult hit Undertale was announced for the Nintendo Switch. Since then, there’s been little to nothing mentioned about it. A few weeks ago, the game was listed on Amazon Japan citing a mid-September release.
According to Famitsu, 15th September is now locked in as the official release date. This covers the release of the regular edition and also the Collector’s Edition. Hachinoyon will handle the publishing of the regular edition while Fangame Japan will publish the Collector’s Edition. Both versions include a 24-page booklet.
Exclusive to the Collector's Edition are the following items: two-CD soundtrack, Toby Fox commentary, 14-carat gold coated music box pendant, one of six randomly selected bookmarks and one of three randomly selected cloth.
This specific date for the Switch version reportedly aligns with the anniversary of the game's original release on PC. This has led to speculation the western release of the game could be on the same day, or at least, not long after.

Pretty neat special edition. I'll likely just stick to the standard one though.
I played Undertale on my Vita and loved it. I highly recommend it to anyone that hasn’t played it.
preordered!
@S4ndm4n how long it is?
Got this one and YS Lacrimosa of Dana CE's on the Vita, probably both the best CE's in recent years content and quality wise.
Let's hope Switch gets it in the west too with same content, YS CE for the Switch lacked some stuff which is sad.
Give this to me right now!!
That looks really good! But I won't double-dip considering I've already played it on PC.
Would like that, hope this is something they do internationally.
@Balta666 According to www.howlongtobeat.com it takes:
6:47 - Main story
11:03 - Main story + extras
19:49 - 100%
Give us an english version and I will snap it up
Still haven't played it. But I'll get around to it, eventually. This edition looks very snazzy!
Looks similar to the special edition I got on Fangamer the moment it was available. I got the PS4 version, but the only things it didn't include were the bookmark and cloth.
Also, if it is a similar bundle, the necklace is actually a music box :3
I have been waiting for more info on this game since the short snippet of it in the Nintendo direct. Hopefully we will have some news on the release window for here soon!
i want this version... but i am European & we usually get the short end of the stick
If this comes to Europe on collector's edition too, I'll buy it. Believe it or not I didn't even know the game, but reading about it I think I will love it.
I don't care about collector's editions, but it's September release makes me happy. Undertale is one of those indies that I can't wait to play on the go. Now the wait is on for Hyper Light Drifter.
Was tempted to get ps4 collectors but I had my hope's for switch! If this doesn't get localized I'll just import, but I hope theres language options!
Honestly, let this developer make the next Mother game. This felt like the perfect marriage of the wackiness of the world and a similarly wacky battle system. I wasn’t such a fan of Earthbound’s battles. I haven’t completed Undertale, so I think i’d double dip
@BionicDodo uou that's a shame. As an RPG I was expecting minimum 20h+ for story alone
Yes please!
VERY slick.
And man, I'd release this to japanese fans before the West as well.
Not only do the Japanese exhibit considerably more [DETERMINATION] no matter what they decide to obsess over, but with such a heavy ancestry for this game in Japanese productions, they deserve it more.
From the Mother games taking the center stage as inspiration, over the frequent homages paid to Chrono Trigger and other classics in the music, the game is a love letter to the legacy of Japanese games that really made it in the west. I'm even hearing some Ace Attorney in there.
@Balta666
This is not a traditional RPG. It's more of an experimental kind of top-down adventure game that looks like an RPG at first glance. There's also three endings (with one of them having multiple variations depending on your actions), and seeing them all will require more than one playthrough anyway.
For those who have played it, you may know what I mean when I say I’m somewhat scared to have this game on my switch haha.
This is one of those games on my "I've heard a lot of good things but just haven't bought it yet" list. It coming to a Nintendo platform will help!
I have Undertale on PC, and cross-buy in Vita/PS4, but I still wanna buy it on Switch. I want to give Toby Fox more money for this exceptional game he’s made. So goooood.
@Balta666 You’ll spend 20+ hours trying to do the separate runs, and it’s hard to beat the game and not want to immediately try that.
It’s not a “normal” RPG, so discard any preconceived notions of what an RPG should be.
Undertale is welcome, but a big expensive physical release for these kind of games are a bit overkill. I mean, the game seems to only be 5 hours long.
