There are quite a few limited edition game distributors in the Switch market, with the enthusiasm of the collector's market allowing eShop titles to find an additional audience - and a valued extra source of revenue. There are some well-known big players in this area, but Premium Edition Games is a smaller organisation that emerged last year and seems to be slowly growing into a solid outlet.
A bit of a twist is that Premium Edition Games often offers three bundles - Premium, Retro and Deluxe. Each has different standard goodies, and the publisher has even produced a 'Retro Edition Upgrade' for one of its original releases - Super Blood Hockey - that offers up some neat aspects of the edition but without the actual game, with a lower price to match.
In any case, the publisher has confirmed its next three major projects. Two will open for pre-orders on 15th June - there's Demon's Tier+, which is a fun twin-stick roguelike, and there's procedurally generation sort-of-like-Metroid title A Robot Named Fight, another game we quite liked in our review.
Pre-orders are also open now on Sunshine Manor, an intriguing horror RPG that was only confirmed for a Fall release relatively recently. This was an edition that the publisher successfully funded via Kickstarter, which seems to be a spin-off (of sorts) from the main store releases.
Perhaps the physical publisher's most notable release to date will be Cathedral, which will be part of its next 'season' of titles - the platformer had a bit of buzz when it landed earlier this year. It'll come down the line, its announcement was just a 'teaser' at this stage.
Let us know if any of these games, and the rather neat approach to extras that Premium Edition Games follows, are tempting you into a pre-order.

"New Switch" in the title. Almost got me there
All an elaborate troll to get clicks.
Physical releases being the new collector's edition. That's 2021 for you.
I'm looking forward to getting the physical version and goodies for A Robot Named Fight, but yeah, it is very much a game that's often available for quite cheap.
Like, £3.39 right now.
A Robot Named Fight is cheap because it’s broken. It loses saves. Constantly. Wanted to love it; ended up hating it.
I'd like this game more if it's art colors weren't so flat.
