Super Rare Games and Sumo Digital have revealed pre-orders for the Snake Pass limited edition physical release go live on 11th October and ship in early November. In total there'll be 4,000 copies available for $34.98 / £29.98. Each one includes the limited edition Switch game (including all of the DLC), interior artwork, 16-page full-colour manual, vinyl soundtrack, exclusive sticker and trading card pack. Take a look below:
Despite the push for digital games, a number of publishers have begun specialising in converting small-sized eShop titles into physical releases. London-based publisher Super Rare Games are one of these companies striving to bring collectors the best physical content for the Switch. Snake Pass was originally released on the eShop in the earlier half of 2017.

Oooh....
Another E-shop games come to Physical.
Woah, a vynil record? Have these guys released games with records before?
real question is what would I play the vinyl on.
I love these physical versions and strive to keep my SRG and LRG switch set complete. So far so good. Already ordered this one in a 3 pack with the're previous two releases.
@MonkeyKing Yeah, they've done vinyl records for previous Switch games as well. Limited Run Games have also been doing vinyl records
It's sold out now though, but Limited Run Games had the Yooka-Laylee soundtrack on vinyl. Good for David Wise right?
Snake Pass used Charm.
Shambo is in love.
SRG used Limited Physical Release.
Shambo is confused.
Shambo is negotiating Double Dip in his confusion.
SRG used Full Colour Manual.
It's super effective!
Shambo hurt himself in his confusion.
@RupeeClock I find it suprising that they would choose vinyl as the format over CD. I guess it has seen resurgence it recent years.
I guess I just haven't noticed since I tend to glance over limited releases like this because I just don't have enough space to keep all the stuff well organized. Still pretty cool though.
Limited mean 4 times the price.
@MonkeyKing
In the spirit of preserving physical copies, Vinyl makes sense, they may last longer than optical media. It's also just an enthusiast thing, it's not like the soundtrack isn't otherwise available.
@1UP_MARIO
In this case it's only twice the price of the eShop listing.
@RupeeClock yeah. You might be right. I got it possible on sale for 8 pounds
@Gowtu_Games same here purchased 3 pak for discount instead.
Oh no, dont fall for this. Its a reallly neat concept but horribly executed
I had a love hTe relationship with this game. It's certainly unique, and figuring out how to wrap the snake around obstacles is a tense and rewarding experience (although it really triggers my vertigo). The main problem is the checkpointing, which started to replace the fun with frustation the firther I got into the game. A more lenient, aautocheckpoint
System would be a must if this was to ever get a sequel, as I loved everything else about it (except the camera at times)
Snake Pass certainly does beg for a sequel with refined mechanics and more content, 15 stages leaving you wanting more, with the fourth world only having three stages for whatever reason.
Is this game good? I'm interested in it and deciding whether I should buy it or not
Aw, I really loved this game actually but I doubt Ill get it. I actually love the soundtrack, very chill, very good. But I dont know what Im supposed to do with a record in this day and age An actual cd soundtrack would be more tempting for me.
Oh, although thats actually not a bad price at all, hmmm.
I ordered the triple pack containing this, Mutant Mudds and Worms W.M.D. to save on shipping. Now I'm just waiting for 'em to ship!
Is there actually DLC for this game? I'm not seeing it listed in the eshop (the DLC that is).
I own 90 Switch games. This is my least favorite. Hated every second of it.
I think it's cool and rather odd that they are including a vinyl record. I actually have a record player at my house AND in my office at work (we aren't allowed to have anything that can process or transmit data, so smart phones, I-pods, CD players, etc are all forbidden). But the thing is, the average price of a new vinyl record is $25, so financially, this deal is essentially buy a record and get the game as a bonus.
@TheFox I knew of some power plants that wouldn't let employees bring calculators for fear of data transmission.
