Play-Asia and Eastasiasoft have announced that they're bringing an exclusive physical edition of Bromio's black-and-white boxer Pato Box to Switch with pre-orders opening from 7th March.
The physical release is a Play-Asia exclusive and according to the website, it's expected to ship 'Q2, 2019'. A Limited Edition will be available containing a colour manual (remember those?!), a 2CD soundtrack album and a numbered certificate, all in a lovely collector's box.
We liked the game, saying in our review that 'while its adventure mode-style exploration could do with a little more meat on its bones, we all know why we’re here - the Punch-Out!!-style bosses. The exploration sections fail to do the eye-catching visual style (and the story) much justice, but those brilliant big bads more than make up for it. Sprinkle in an '80s-style synth soundtrack that wouldn’t feel out of place in Hotline Miami and you’ve got a rough-yet-ready new contender on the Switch eShop.'
We also talked to the game's director, Antonio Gutiérrez, from Mexican developer Bromio, so check that out for a more in-depth look at the game and its journey to Switch.
Are you planning on following the example of the lovely Olivia Newton-John and getting physical with Pato Box? Let us know down below.

You'd be surprised, these eastasiasoft published games take a long while to sell out on Play-Asia.
It would be nice if GameFly could snag some copies. This has forever been on my backlog awaiting a hefty enough sale...
@NintendoFan4Lyf - Eastasiasoft has yet to sell out of their first exclusive.
I have been rather curious about this game.
Maybe I should give the physical copy a whirl...
Too bad for everyone expecting « hollow knight physical release »
@SenseiDje - This was from Play-Asia, I don't think anyone thought of a non-SHMUP by this point from them.
What people are looking at is from the Tweet from Limited Run.
@SenseiDje
This isn't Limited Run Games.
This is made by a Mexican developer for anyone thinking it’s Asian.
COLOUR MANUAL FOR A BLACK AND WHITE GAME LOL
I was disappointed in this game. The motion controls were terrible.
@H3X3NH4MM3R - That's almost as good as Color Blind Mode for West of Loathing.
I don’t buy physical unless I have to, however this box art looks amazing....
I might snatch this up sometime in the future.
@NintendoFan4Lyf Nah this is EastAsia soft there is never any issue picking up their games. I think they still have stock of almost every game they have released and that's stretching back a couple of years.
is it any good though? I completely forgot it even existed.
