Update: 23rd Feb 2021 - UK pre-orders are open now.
Well, we were hoping for Zagreus in Smash, but we can settle for Zagreus on our shelf instead.
The GOTY of many, Hades, is getting a physical release, which comes with a download code for the fantastic Darren Korb soundtrack and a big book of game art.
The box for Supergiant's massive hit roguelite features the key art with Zagreus and his Stygian Blade, and the game card looks like it's the three skulls that tell you how you Zag died after you reach a certain point in the game.

Haven't brought this yet. Doesn't look like a game I would enjoy. But now that it is physical, I might take a look.
I've sorta finished the game and really don't need a physical copy but.... I really really want this
Happy enough with my digital version but good news for those who are holding out for it physically. Such an awesome game, the more love it gets the better.
Really glad I've held off on buying this till now.
OH COME ON EVERY TIME!
Nice and it's not a limited release so that's a win to me.
Nice. Unfortunately i have the digital. The only reason i would buy this is because the booklet thing
Sad NL has not posted an article about Miitopia yet
Passed on this game when it released. I will pick up the physical copy day 1 to see what all the hype is about.
Never buy a Roguelike game in physical. You will get tired of swapping cartridges with many short sessions of playing. I sold my Binding of Isaac copy and bought it digital.. Same for Dead Cells.
Physical is perfect for games like Hollow Knight, Celeste or Steamworld Dig 2
I've been waiting for a Switch sale before picking this up, and now I'm glad I waited! Physical + soundtrack + art book? Sign me UP!
Look indies, can you stop making me double dip? Please?
To me, as a physical collector, this was thé disappointment of the direct.
That an announcement of a physical release with a booklet eats up time from the direct.
Feeling like an old person now. ‘Back in my day....’
Glad to see it's not a limited run deal given their first 2 games were
I enjoy my digital Hades and I also like that book they were showing, I'm not about to double dip however, there's so much other stuff.
Happy to see Hades is getting a physical release, It's a game that has caught my interest but I haven't gotten around to buying yet, this might just do the trick.
Highlight of the direct for me, I was totally expecting this to be a limited release that would end up out by next Christmas. Very excited.
I don’t understand the tagline...
@Snatcher after about the fifth or sixth time it happened to me, I stopped buying digital games that I knew I would want as a physical edition. I love what Limited Run, Strictly Limited, etc. do, but I just wish indie devs would announce early on whether there will be a physical release!
Best thing about the Direct!
Definetely getting this.
I was waiting for this! I'm getting it now for sure baby
@mezoomozaa i never buy digital games as i enjoy the rights of actual ownership and am not lazy so don't mind cart swapping.
I’ve been holding off on this because I felt like it was quite an expensive indie game for an eshop purchase. But with a physical release, I can see if the hype was worth it
My patience paid off. I had an inkling this would get a physical release once the plaudits started pulling in.
I’m new to the Nintendo Switch, is Hades somewhat like Diablo?
@RumbleCatDad Kinda, with an infusion of Transistor. It's a must-own exclusive on Switch
@Flashlink99 thank you for the recommendation, I will put it on my wishlist👍
Has anyone found anywhere that you can buy it yet? If I miss out imma be pisssssed!
@mezoomozaa
@Rohanrocks88
Great minds think alike! Some games, you always want with you! Perhaps one day I’ll buy Dead Cells, Mega Man 11, X Collection, Mario Party and this physically, but rogue-likes seem like the perfect reason for a Physical dude like me to purchase digitally. It’s the lack of tangibly owning these (Great!) games that give me pause for a double-dip...
365games also have Hades available for pre-order at just £28.99.

Not a Roguelike fan at all, and yet this game is still exceptionally good. Deserving of a physical release, I'm quite tempted myself!
Glad I waited for the physical, it was inevitable really. Looking forward to this!
Oh man, I'm so happy I waited for a physical edition xD just pre-ordered it
@Aaron101 for real, they got the Amazon link but it just leads to a search for the name “Hades” haha
Just pre-ordered, and for me it's gonna be the first time with this game.
Great game, happy with the digital. Nice for collectors though.
So glad it isn't limited run! I'm fine with limited physical releases but having them be permanently on store shelves is nice and helps the game reach more people.
Now I'm waiting for the physical release of Doom Eternal and Grid. Thank you.
Happy to double dip on this. It was def my GOTY 2020. Some games I'm just happy to double dip on. Eventually will double on both Ori's and Cuphead (eventually).
Europe really ruins their boxes with those huge ugly colored ratings in the front. Awful.
@mezoomozaa I disagree. Physical all the way
@Kobeskillz
Ha, THIS!! Japans rating square is quite hideous as well...no bias or nothin’.
@CodyDogg yeah no offense to my across the pond peeps and their lovely collections but when ever they display them and I see the sea of yellow, green, red huge rating blocks is just so bad. I feel for you guys that artwork being ruined.
