Physical collectors rejoice, Super Rare Games has announced seven – yes, seven – brand new limited-edition cartridge releases coming to the Nintendo Switch in the near future.
These titles include Dandara: Trials of Fear Edition, SteamWorld Heist: Ultimate Edition, Darkwood, Freedom Finger, Mechstermination Force, The Sexy Brutale, and Assault Android Cactus+.
We are excited to be working with @longhathouse and @RawFury to be releasing Dandara: Trials of Fear Edition as a physical version! This is an amazing 2D metroidvania platformer, and we are looking forward to this releasing later this year.
Next up, we are welcoming SteamWorld Heist: Ultimate Edition to the Super Rare Games family. We are looking forward to teaming up again with @ImageForm and @Thunderfulgames to release the critically acclaimed turn-based shooter.
Things are going to be getting spooky at Super Rare when we release the critically acclaimed horror game Darkwood! We are looking forward to be working with @acidwizardstudio and @CrunchingKoalas on what will be our scariest release to date.
SHMUP fans, you're in for a treat. We are working with @widerightgames to release Freedom Finger physically. Starring the likes of @nolan_north and @TheJohnDiMaggio, this is a music driven side-scrolling shooter you don't want to miss.
From the creator of Gunman Clive, comes Mechstermination Force. Take on the massive bosses alone or together with a friend in local co-op. We are looking forward to bringing this out physically alongside
@BertilHorberg
We are teaming up with @TequilaWorks and @Cavalier_GS to physically release @SexyBrutale. Join a never-ending masked ball in a puzzle-adventure game full of intrigue, dark humour and foul play.
Last, but certainly not least. We are working alongside @witchbeamgames to release Assault Android Cactus + physically. Think fast and shoot faster. Charge head first into an army of refitted robots, transforming stages and massive bosses.
Exact release dates and prices have not yet been announced, so keep an eye out for these additional details in the future. All of these titles will be available exclusively from SuperRareGames.com.
Earlier this week, we spoke to the company overseer George Perkins about Super Rare Games' two-year run of Switch releases and how it had plenty more lined up for Nintendo's console. Be sure to read our feature to get the full physical rundown.

Wonder how it will be packaged???
Glad to see physical versions of Steamworld Heist. One of the very few tactics games I love, because of its unique mechanics and because it respects your time more than a lot of the genre. (levels that take less than an hour, what a concept :V)
SteamWorld Heist and Mechstermination Force are two I will keep an eye on.
Mechstermination has my interest the most. I enjoyed Gunman Clive and read alot about Mechstermination but am yet to pick it up.....
I’d like Heist physically but I just bought it recently for £3 on sale. I’d expect this will be at least £30 on cart...
Not interested by those 7 games.
So, there will be 18 games get physical release and 11 games left to be announced in physical.
I hope i have interest with at least 1 game from the remaining games.
Never heard of any of these games save for Mechstermination Force.
Are any of these games worth the coin?
Still holding out hope for Untitled Goose Game!
None as interesting as LRG doing Nurse love obsession, but will try to get Steamworld heist and Sexy brutale.
Recently bought SteamWorld Heist on eshop sale but I'll happily grab a physical copy. One of my favourite Wii U games.
Excellent.
Choice is always a good thing.
Replaying and enjoying Heist but not too familiar with the other games.
I thought The Sexy Brutale got marked down when it came out as almost unplayable on switch due to the performance? I really wanted to play it but wasnt paying out for a broken game. Anyone got it know if its been patched?
@Nye1779 It was pretty much unplayable when I bought it on sale not knowing of its issues, and I haven’t seen a patch since.
Slightly takes the polish off Super Rare’s announcement if the game on the cartridge is broken, doesn’t it?
Assault Android Cactus is amazing if you're fans of fun twinstick shmups with an early to mid 90s US manga aesthetic (I know it sounds cringey but it works well, trust me).
Its one of those games I've owned on Steam for years and put 100+ hours in and still go back to it for the daily challenges.
I will probably buy that one just to have a physical of it and just play my PC copy. That's how much I like that game and dev. I'd probably play it on the toilet tbh.
Mechstermination Force was fine but not worth buying again on the same console. I'd rather get a PC digital copy.
I totally forgot about Mechstermination Force!
Will grab the physical version when it drops.
@MrGawain I didn't get it on PS4 as waited for the switch version and then heard it had issues which was a shame- seems weird from super rares point of view to release a physical if it's broken!!! Shame as was looking forward to it.
@Nye1779 I reviewed it for Switch Player Magazine and it isn’t close to unplayable. I gave it 4.5/5, and it’s long been my favourite eShop exclusive. Yes there are long loading times as you switch rooms on occasion, but it doesn’t harm the experience at all.
@Nye1779 The Sexy Brutale still runs like, unfortunately. I wanted to keep playing, and maybe the term has lost its meaning in these days of shameless hyperbole, but it was unplayable.
@olrodlegacy Thank you for that. Will probably give it a go at some point as still interested, but not £17.99 interested. A few reviews I read on release stated load time and frame rate issues so waited and now my interest has wained a bit! Seems like different people have had different experiences or maybe have different tolerance to the issues. Normally load times dont bother me but couple of reviews said the frame rate came to a standstill at points
@Maschinenmensch I’ve only played Steamworld Heist and Assault Android Cactus but I’d recommend both to fans of their genres. Heist is a fantastic turn-based strategy game but it also mixes in real-time aiming. Cactus is a frantic twin-stick shooter, it’s short but has a ton of replayability with all the different characters you unlock as you go.
Announcements of existing games arriving on a cartridge for the first time...
Meanwhile, over on the eShop charts, we have Uno and Monopoly in the top 10!
2020 is not off to a great start... but its early days. Plenty of time for things to change.
Mechstermination Force for me. Always wanted to play it and I love physical copies of games so, win win.
My wallet has breathed a sigh of relief! I have absolutely no interest in any of them yay!
For me, I'm interested in Dandara, Freedom Finger, Steamworld Heist, and Mechsterstimation Force. This is a good line-up.
I’d like to have a physical copy of The Sexy Brutale but these limited releases are a little pricey so we’ll see.
Definitely getting Heist, been waiting for a physical of that one for a long time.
@Ogbert sounds delightful; thanks for the tip.
Who in there right mind would spend good money adding these games to a phisical collection.
Mechstermination Force is terrific. I've beaten it solo and co-op and it's a blast. I don't care about physical games but for those who do, I'd recommend picking that up.
I really don't have time for Super Rare Games. Maybe if they made EU physical copies of things like Megaman 11, Phoenix Wright trilogy, Dragon Quest Collection to save me on the import tax then I'd be interested. Plus part of the charm of these "indie" games is that they're cheap because they're digital only, and not having to price match the expensive physical copies.
Mechstermination and Assault Android. The rest are average at best. Or i own on physical elsewhere.
Damn, already bought Darkwood from the eShop... Would have liked a physical version instead. Oh well.
Everyone knows that SteamWorld Heist is still one of the best games on the Switch, but I would also recommend Mechstermination Force and AAC+ to anybody. They're two underrated gems, especially in co-op. I only have about 4-5 games that I keep playing with friends over and over even after completing them, and those two are our go-to co-ops.
No price? I'd pick up The Sexy Brutale and Darkwood.
I already bought it on eShop but I'll be double-dipping on Darkwood to get it physically, fantastic game that I'd highly recommend.
@SKTTR The SuperRare releases are normally £30/$38/€35
@kkslider5552000
Too true...but a double-edged sword! I lost dozens of hours of sleep during my tenure with the game due to its somewhat casual, one-more-time! structure. That said, a genre Classic; it’s almost criminal that a proper Piper sequel has yet to be announced all these years later!
never heard of them
