Sumo Digital's Snake Pass Is Receiving A Physical Makeover On Switch

Aaah....
More physical release = Better.

@Anti-Matter

Agreed!

I enjoyed this game, but I doubt I'll ever finish it. I'm hoping to see more from them.

Ugh. Another game I wish I didn’t buy digitally.

yesssssss great newssssss

n srg are starting to pump some quality out after a lack lustre start

Glad I never picked this up.

Hoping this doesn't release around the holidays. My schedule is full already.

@thesilverbrick I totally agree. When the Swiitch camee out my thirst for more games landed me with the regret of buying Snake Pass. Just a frustrating and boring experience, never saw a bit of fun in it at all.

@kepsux but you get to control a snake!

Does “makeover” just mean it’s going to be on a cartridge? To me it implies improvements to the game, especially in the graphics department.

Keeping my Super Rare Games (and Limited Run Games) switch collection complete, so yes will be getting this.

Cool to hear but if I end up picking it up it'll probably be on PC during a steam sale. Way too many games to finish up with such little personal time so who knows at this point.

Nice to see more physical releases, although I do find the majority of these indie physical releases are coming in at too high a price. I imagine to get this to me here in Australia will cost me 4x what the digital copy frequently goes for which will dampen my appetite for it.

Limited Run games has a similar issue, especially with the added shipping cost.

Also finding I can’t redeem Nintendo points on these releases too (probably due to my region) which adds a bit of a further sting compared to the digital copy.

It's not your Mario platformer where anyone can take controller & play, the game have a tough learning curve but once you get a snake's physiology this is a great fun. And it's also not an ancient Steam port but a recent game with a new experience which I appreciate & support.

I'd have loved to have this physically in my collection, but I already have it digitally. I still love the game for all that it is, so I may consider... IF SRG does something about the high shipping costs

Unlike most, when I see a company like SuperRareGames handling a physical release, I immediately decide on digital. These releases are just too hard to get!

@Smigit Agreed. I like owning a physical copy, but at 4x the price you could buy the game three times digitally over the years and still save money.

For some reason I haven't bought it none of the several times it has gone on sale. Maybe the reason was some part of me knew it would get the physical traitment.

Now I know it can't be that. Super Rare is super limited and expensive.

@kepsux yes just lookin at the game i knew i would not like it.

Great game but too little too late.

@kepsux Oh, I think you misunderstood me. I just wish I didn’t buy it digitally. I adored Snake Pass. It was charming and cerebral and had a phenomenal soundtrack. I was even able to get 100% of the collectibles. I just would much rather have any game possible as a cartridge.

@paihia Haha, I'd use the term "control" lightly.

@thesilverbrick Haha, fair enough! If I had it on a cart I'd gladly gift it to you!

I think the box art would be better if they took all the text off, made the snake's head bigger, and turned the background blue.

@kepsux Haha, I appreciate the thought.

@Smigit They are more expensive here in the UK. I guess about £10 more than the download version.

But a normal physical release, say Smash Bros. Will be £5 to £10 cheaper than the online version.

These limited run physical games are for the gamers that don't read reviews and see the game in store, like the boxcover and make an instant purchase.

I bought the digital release awhile back when it was on sale... tried to play the first level and had such a difficult time with the controls that I gave up, haha! I’ll have to really sink my teeth into it sometime, because I do like the world the game has, and the music is fantastic.

I love the way the snake controls, it's a great "snake simulator" and the music is beautiful to boot, but I got so frustrated with the game I gave up on the second world and haven't touched the game in over a year. I might go back to it someday but not interested in a physical copy.

My Switch will always be 100% digital copies, but it’s cool that these physical copies of games keep coming for people who dig that kind of thing.

Choice is good.

On one hand i love that these indies get physical release. Otoh it encourages me to never but Indies digitally since a year or two later i might have the physical version i really wanted...

Great! Now they just need to make it a good game.

I'd like Swim Out to get a physical copy. Nice little puzzler with a great look.

Me: Yay physical copy
sees that its limited

The visuals and music are good but I couldn't deal with the controls and the physics. The snake feels half-dead.

This is actually one of those games I regret purchasing. I was desperate for games to play on my brand new Switch at the time and made the mistake of getting this one. I got bored like 5 minutes in.

I really enjoyed Snake Pass, even more than I've enjoyed Odyssey, which is a game that just doesn't click with me for a reason that I cannot define.

This is awesome! If only we could get some Yooka-Laylee love in physical form!
