The platform puzzle game Teslagrad has already been released a few times digitally on Nintendo systems and now it will finally receive the physical treatment on the Switch.
Following its arrival in December last year, the art director on the Rain Games' eShop release asked fans on Twitter which box art they would prefer for Teslagrad's physical release. Take a look at both of them in the tweet below:
There's currently no information about the publisher handling the physical release of this game, or when exactly it will arrive. In our review, we gave the Switch version of Teslagrad eight out of ten stars and said it was worth double-dipping for the portable iteration. It may even be worth purchasing a third time if you enjoyed it on previous occasions.
Will you be adding this game to your physical collection whenever it does arrive? Which box art do you prefer? Tell us below.

I will be genuinely surprised if the physical edition isn’t a limited production run.
Hopefully this won't be Limited Run Games as I have not been impressed in their handling of game publishing. My vote would be for Nicalis or Xseed (I'd really like to see what goodies Nicalis would throw in). I've been patiently waiting for a physical release of this since the Wii U version that was supposed to happen and will happily support a Switch release.
This game is great!
Loved every second of it
Why not both? I love finding an alternate cover when I open my fresh new game for the 1st time...
Like a nod form the publisher, from gamer to gamer, as it’s Totaly gratuitous and not mandatory to put some alternate artwork on the inside....
Anyway, mighty be double dipping if I find a copy somewhere, great game, really switch-minded!!
Like others have said, I'm really hoping that we get pack in goodies.
@TreonsRealm LRG are terrible, greed has taken them over. It’s a shame as I think it’s gonna cost them and that’s one less company publishing. Their own fault that collectors are losing patience with them
I liyerally don't care, i bought it on WIIu physical four years ago. Why don't they make a teslegrad 2 and make that physical.
@Stocksy How are they terrible mate? (Honest question)
@GrailUK I’ll try to answer
In a nutshell, they’ve been snapping up tonnes of games (regardless of quality) the. Selling them at an almost weekly rate but shipping could take anything from 2-9 months! Collectors after the full sets have put down 4 figure sums and yet have anything to show for it.
Is this game any good? I love the art style, but just not sure if I would like it, especially with such a huge array of games calling out to me these days.
@YANDMAN
rejoice : http://worldtothewest.com/ !!
@GrailUK they have got greedy and release too many titles and they have flooded their own market. The quality of the actual standard version and what comes with it differs wildly. One month nice quality book etc next release nothing (and it isn’t stated up front) Unlike other limited runs - they take all the money first and then put the carts in production. Which then takes months. Which for them is brilliant - no risk - but for a buyer it’s just a wait with no firm date. They’ll say - only 2 switch games this month then list 4 at short notice. And then there is the Best Buy deal. Also their standard runs aren’t truly limited they are limited time not limit units. They just aren’t really what they claim to be. They are just another publisher now. Which is fine.. but they just can’t see why people get upset with some of the stuff they pull
@grailuk @FX102A ha! Yeah a far better explanation than my ramble answer.
I gave up on them last month and skipped everything since. Up to that point I’d bought everything. Still waiting on stuff I ordered yonks ago!
Ok I will finally beat this game then.
Have been contemplating getting this when it was released last year. So now the is physical coming out, well, there's one more for my backlog
Is this game inspired by Tesla the scientist?
What's the story with LRG?
Addendum:
I see now you explained it later.

"LRG are terrible, greed has taken them over. It’s a shame as I think it’s gonna cost them and that’s one less company publishing. Their own fault that collectors are losing patience with them"
Oh....
Soedesco can release Teslagard in Physical for Switch version.
Earthlock is also need Physical release since that game from same publisher.
I love this game so much and have beaten it several times. Fun to 100% and fun to speed run. One of my favorite Metroidvanias.
But personally, I've become more and more a fan of buying digital vs physical. But for anyone who is physical only, you should absolutely get this game. It's a real gem.
Not a fan of these $5 -$15 games getting physical releases. I think bigger games like Yooka Laylee justify the effort.
@Stocksy But isn’t limited time still limited? I know it’s less valuable for collectors, but I thought it was pretty cool that during that window any fan can get one.
Also, I’ve never bought any of their PS4 releases, and even though I consider myself a collector of physical Switch games, I only get those that interest me, but apart from Yooka Laylee and the two Outlast games, haven’t they stuck to a fairly reasonable release schedule of two a month for the Switch?
I can understand the frustration with them from people that collect every game and now can’t keep up, but at the same time, doesn’t that mean that there are that many more games that have received the physical treatment in the same time frame? I guess I’m biased since apart from not loving the numbers on the spine, I don’t mind missing the ones I don’t think I’d play, but I’ve been really happy with them personally. Shantae will be the 5th Switch game I’ve ordered from them since August, and 2 are already shipped. Plus they published my favourite indie game, Dust:AET, so I don’t think I could ever dislike them. I don’t know why they can’t slow down the PS releases to 2 a month like with the Switch though, but I think their positives outweigh the negatives.
Physical would be something I want for this version.
The art director for rain games/teslagrad here-
It's not a Limited Run release, we're working with Soedesco!
the release will cover both US and Europe regions.
Both of these art variants are works in progress, still painting stuff, so who knows how the box art will end up in the end:)
