Switch indie puzzler Zombie Night Terror is getting a physical release on Switch thanks to Warned Collectors, one of the many publishers now offering limited run releases of physical Switch games.
The game originally launched on the console on 31st January, published by Plug In Digital. It features 50 levels in which you must gather zombies to join your undead army, solving puzzles and fighting increasingly powerful foes as you go. You can learn a little more with this official game description below:
"Prepare yourself for the most thrilling night of your life! Something strange has happened and people everywhere are turning into blood thirsty walking corpses. But guess who’s the brains behind this hungry undead army? YOU! So spread this pandemic to wipe humanity of this planet. Because the only way to survive the zombie apocalypse, is to BE the apocalypse!
But the brainless undead are quite dumb… even dumber than you might expect given their lack of grey matter. Because when left to their own devices, they will just endlessly walk forward and fall into permanently deadly booby traps placed by not-so-helpless humans. So to accomplish your mission of world extermination, you will need to help guide them to their next yummy meal. Luckily you can utilize numerous special mutations to make your troops evolve and fulfil their appetite for flesh. But beware! Humans will not facilitate your dark will... they will fight to survive."
Pre-orders for this limited physical release go live tomorrow at 6pm GMT, with shipping expected to begin on 5th June. The release is limited to 3,000 copies and costs 29.99€.

Wow, yet another small publisher doing limited print Switch games.
Where are these all coming from? This is like the fifth off the top of my head.
i got my zombie goods, from another game. so, i'll skip this for now.
@RupeeClock People see a niche not being filled, and they're rushing to fill it. Regardless of our slide into digital gaming, there are still plenty of collectors who prefer physical, and these small but popular indie games present an opportunity to get in on that market.
The whole numbering trend among them, as well as other physical goodies, is specifically targeted towards the hardcore collectors.
I quite enjoyed this on pc, a nice zombie-spin on Lemmings.
Very much considering getting this..
@Regpuppy
Of course I understand that completely, and love indulging in these physical releases for games that are otherwise digital exclusive for some indie developers.
What's surprising is the number of these small publishers popping up after the success model of Limited Run Games. The likes of Super Rare Games, Special Reserve Games, and Strictly Limited Games each have their own sort of identity and brand when it comes to handling these releases, but something about "Warned Collectors" is striking me as an actual copycat of Limited Run Games, trying to hone in on the market of collectible pieces in short supply.
Warned Collectors selection of Switch games also isn't too impressive so far. I've seen much better out of the others I've mentioned.
@RupeeClock they have to start somewhere. Look at super rare, their releases are getting better and better
@GrailUK
Human Fall Flat was a really good title for Super Rare Games to start with, and they've had a lot of solid titles released since then.
I'm looking forward to Fairune Collection on Thursday.
Could someone tell me all the limited run companys?
So far I know:
Limited run games
Super rare games
Strictly limited games
Warned Collector games
Pretty sure their is some more, but I forgot.
@IceEarthGuard Special Reserve, Red Art Games,
@IceEarthGuard @GrailUK iam8bit, Fangamer, Skybound, Hard Copy, gamefairy, Numskull, Play-Asia, Vblank Entertainment, Ultra Rare Games, etc.
@GrailUK @Magician Thanks.
@RupeeClock Honestly, in their early days, I could have said the same thing about the three companies you mentioned as well. In the end, they're essentially just small scale publishers, that are taking advantage of the niche market that our digital-only future is leaving behind.
As long as what they're doing is legal, I welcome anyone helping keep physical media alive. Even if they're not being particularly creative with their branding.
@GrailUK @Magician ....Wow, I honestly didnt know there were that many. Guess I'll have to see what indies they're turning physical
So here is this generation's lemmings....
