The lovely Tricky Towers is the latest game to receive the physical edition treatment from the folks over at Super Rare Games, and pre-orders are set to open later this week.
You know the drill by now - the physical release will be limited to just 4,000 copies and comes with the game on cartridge, a 12-page full-colour manual, interior artwork, an exclusive sticker, and three randomly selected trading cards. It'll also feature all six DLC packs previously released, all under new Tricky Towers: Collector's Edition branding.
The included DLC pushes the game's price to £32.40 (up a little from Super Rare's usual £30 price mark). Buying the base game and all DLC would cost you just over £22 on the eShop, though, so you're essentially paying around £10 for all the physical goods included. Pre-orders go live this Thursday, 28th May.
If you want to learn more about Tricky Towers' tricky puzzles, make sure to check out our full review. We'll leave a snippet for you below.
Tricky Towers offers up a cool twist on a puzzle classic, and the focus on multiplayer battling makes this an ideal game for showing off the Switch’s unique capability for multiplayer gaming on the go. Everybody knows how to play Tetris, and Tricky Towers does just enough to build on that core concept to make the game interesting and weird enough to be quite memorable.

Collectors Edition = what no apostrophe?
It’s time to bundle these small games. Too many releases at this moment
This is a somewhat questionable release from Super Rare Games, this doesn't seem like a title that would've been on many people's radars or physical wishlists.
By nature, this looks like a mobile game that was given a bit more care for a Switch release, although watching it in action it does look enjoyable. I mean, I like balance stacking games like World of Balance.
Far out these comments are so negative.
I think I've put in close to 20 hours on this game across Switch and PS4. Was the main party game at my friend's place for almost a year.
I've personally hoped for a standard physical release for a while.
Don't bash something none of you have clearly played. Yikes.
I don't think this game has enough content to warrant a physical release. Having said that, don't let that put you off from owning this game in one form or other. It's a blast in couch co-op and a staple in my circles multiplayer sessions.

Yeah but surely anything that is deemed as collectable is sold by a seller with the intent to exploit a buyer. With limited game companies like SRG et al, if there's a particular game I want to purchase physically I would rather be exploited by them now rather than by an eBay seller later on down the line.
£32.40... Why is this one more than other games SRG do? I gave up on buying each one when Knights of Pen and Paper came about being two games that carry the numbered system with no option to buy on their own. SRG I feel are clawing back that need for greed but it's creeping in their a little...
Where is Untitled Goose? Instead World of Goo gets a physical and as good as it is, Little Inferno? Questionable choices in my view.
I think the problem with Super Rare releases is that they are disproportionately expensive considering that most of their games are available for less than a bag of peanuts via the eShop.
Plus, the games are so small that I would prefer to have multiple games on a cartridge rather than swapping out carts for games with so little content and/or replayability.
For example, I've recently ordered Mechsterimination Force, but for the price, they should have just bundled it with the Gunman Clive Collection. Kill two birds with one stone AND produce a more tantalising physical release with more content.
Likewise, Tomorrow Corporation's games should have been bundled onto a single cartridge rather than having separate overpriced physical editions (with steelbooks) for each game.
Either way, these releases are aimed at hardcore collectors and enthusiasts and not your average customer, otherwise these games would have seen wider retail releases. I shall continue to buy what I am interested in, but I am being more selective now considering the sheer quantity of games available and whether these limited releases offer a value proposition that makes the premium cost of entry worthwhile. It's nice to have options.
I wonder how many people were dying to get a physical copy of this game
Tricky Towers is one of my favorite multiplayer games on Switch. While I'm not going to double dip on this game, like I happened to have with Wulverblade and Snake Pass, I do think more people need to give this game a try.
Its also not out of Weirdbeard's territory for it to have a physical release, since it had an even bigger physical print on PS4.
This makes Stay At Home all the worth it.
