In addition to the Vitamin Connection release date, WayForward has also revealed it has teamed up with Limited Run Games to release a physical version of Mighty Switch Force! Collection on the Switch. This collaboration is part of LRG's 'WayForward Day', with a two-week pre-order period opening on 17th January.
Just like the digital release, this collection includes Mighty Switch Force!, Mighty Switch Force: Hyper Drive Edition, Mighty Switch Force! 2, and Mighty Switch Force! Academy. It'll be available as a standard edition, or you can opt with the limited collector's edition for US$59.99, which includes a bunch of goodies (see below):

You know, I keep hearing about this game but I've never so much as seen footage of it. I need to look at it eventually. I'd rather have this whole collection as a physical copy if it's good.
Was always in the middle about trying these on 3ds and Wii U but never got round to it. Seems like a fairly decent deal. Would have been better to just have Hyper Drive Edition and "Hose it Down" instead of the original, though.
I knew this would happen.
But the question remains as to whether I'll grab the standard or the collector's edition. LRG collector's editions are way too big and I simply do not have the room to accommodate them anymore, so I am a little torn.
It will ultimately boil down to how much the standard edition costs, and whether the premium is worth the soundtrack CD and that very pretty floppy disk-shaped USB (I hope it stores more than 1.44MB). With shipping, the collector's edition will cost close to AU$110, which is quite... much.
I didn’t realize the digital versions already released! I had a lot of fun with the first game on 3DS.
I just bought this during an eShop sale last month. I'd have held off for a physical release if I knew they were giving it one.
For those who want just the standard physical edition, be sure to get that pre-order fast on the day it became available otherwise if you wait longer Limited Run will closed orders for the cheaper standard edition and you'll end up having to purchase the Collector's Edition only which you will have to pay more just to get the physical game which will then came with a bunch of useless trash that aren't worth anything.
@retro_player_22 : That is not how it works at all. All Switch games via LRG so far (to my knowledge) have been open pre-orders, as they do not order the cartridges until after the orders have been placed within the two-week pre-order window. They will not "sell out" during this time as there is no stock to sell out.
Collector's editions are usually limited (there have been some exceptions) to ±1,000 units as they usually include other materials that have already been ordered/manufactured by LRG.
I'm just buying the standard edition because LRG has the most annoying system for procuring them and I'm usually sleeping or at work when the damn things go live. That and I missed out on too many I cared about (Shantae, Freedom Planet, etc)
Also, I don't like that only the vinyl OSTs are offered outside of the LEs. I got over my vinyl phase back in the mid 80s when CDs came out.
Now NISA makes the perfect size LEs and I can't wait for my copies of their two Psikyo Shooting Stars collections.
Still waiting for a proper third game. Loved the first 2 on the 3DS. Excellent mindless fun.
I am so excited to get the OST on vinyl! We need physical releases of more Virt OSTs! This was something I was really hoping for, alongside "Double Dragon Neon". I have the games on Wii U, but they're quite good, so since I'm getting the vinyl anyway, I'll probably get the games too. They're worth it.
I was a fan of these on 3ds, but I don't have the time or money to play on switch. I did double dip for Pirate's Curse and I did buy and play 1/2 Genie Hero. Good games.
While I will have to pass on this, it does look like a nice package.
Mighty Switch Force games are great and require fast reflexes. Hyper Drive Edition on Wii U is easily my favourite.
I don't remember any of the music from the game so to me the music isn't memorable. Don't want to spend all that money on a physical.
That's a bunch of useless junk to try to justify that high price point.
Is it next week yet?
@koaeinferno Bruh just buy the standard edition. There are people out there that will pay for useless stupid junk...let them be happy lol
what is the 3.5 inch usb drive, just an empty drive or what, i assume it is not also a floppy disk, just looks like one.
@Ste I hope the capacity is more than 1.44 MB. I might get this collection just for that one item. I'm sure there are other floppy disc replicas out there, but with so many search results turning up with adapters for using floppy discs with modern computers, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack.
I'll probably end up getting the CE editions for these two latest version just because they are limited to start with.
@koaeinferno i'd hardly say they are useless, as they would mean something to hardcore fans of this game.
@koaeinferno Yeah that is pretty standard for these things. It is only on a very rare once in a blue moon occasion when I actually see one of these that actually looks worth buying. I think it's all on how big of a fan you are of whatever you are buying, some people are just big time super fans of these games and are willing to buy all sorts of overpriced junk related to it.
@Kalmaro
They're really good. Challenging, polished game-play and it's fun to play the levels over to get a better time. Great soundtrack too. I think 59.99 is a bit much though. I would just go digital.
Why do these games always have to be part of a Limited run? Why can't physical copies be standard these days?
