If you've been holding out for a physical release of Double Fine's Grim Fandango remaster on the Switch, you're in luck.
The Xbox game studio is teaming up with iam8bit to release a hard copy of the game on Nintendo's hybrid system and pre-orders are now open. This 'exclusive edition' will set you back $34.99 USD (or your regional equivalent) and comes with a reversible cover, sleeve cover, golden train ticket, and matchbook notebook.
When the game made its digital debut on the Nintendo Switch in 2018, we praised it - stating how it was still one of the greatest adventure games ever made.
Is this one you'll be adding to your collection? Drop a comment down below.

Shameless liars!
You are not pointin' n clicking in that game!
Jokes aside, nice Game, even if i love Monkey Island, i never got my Fingers on that Game until a few Years ago.
This is a fun game full of great characters. I'll have to get this 1 again!
This was one of my favorites when it first came out. Love this game. It’s been a while since I last replayed it, hopefully the library gets it for a quick play through.
@Azuris I haven't played this remaster, but I think it added in point-and-click controls. Or you can stick with the OG tank controls.
Nice, I may take a second dip at it then.
Definitely grabbing it
I love it. Great that it is getting another round of attention, replaying it on Switch was great fun.
Sadly their shipping to Europe is crazy expensive :/ Abandoned my order last second.
Way too late. Certainly you can't buy any game from the eShop without fearing that one day it might be released physically
@NintendoWife I know the feeling but I plunged 18$ for that shipping + tax
Nice! I think the genre is incredibly underrepresented on Switch.
The major classics should all be on it IMO. Why hasn't Gabriel Knight been ported to Switch? Or The Secret of Monkey Island titles? Broken Sword I & II?
Yes I can hear you Grim Fandango!
I think I bought this for about £2.49 on a sale… and still haven’t played it.
Is this playable without a guide?
I wanted to play this game ever since its release but never got around to it. glad its getting a physical release
Would rather they bring the Psychonauts games to the Switch.
@NintendoWife
The reason I ducked out of the Disco Elysium SE (which was already $250) was that Iam8bit wanted $90 dollars for shipping to Sweden.
Insanity.
I've tried to get in to this take on 4 separate occasions and had to drop it due to the obtuse puzzles. Refusing to use a guide
Enjoyed when I played it but had to put it down at some point because it became impossible to figure things out in this game without a guide and ironically following a guide makes the game feel unrewarding.
@GerBearNy I was just about to say I haven't played it since it was brand new on PC and I've forgotten almost everything about it, so it's time to double dip!
@jobvd Yes it is, thankfully a lot of the puzzles aren't as obtuse as other lucas arts adventures (not that I mind that I played and loved them all), but you can still get stuck on some.
The added feature that makes it lot more playable without a guide is the highlights. You can press a button and everything on the screen that you can interact with becomes highlighted. Makes it a lot easier to navigate.
35 bucks? They must be high.
A simple offline installer to burn on a dvd will do anyway.
One of the best story games of all time. Lots of film noir references also (Casablanca being the most obvious).
