Following the release of the beat 'em up Night Slashers: Remake in September, a physical release has now been confirmed.
The catch is it's Japan only for now. Fortunately, it does include English language support. It's around the $30 USD mark (or your regional equivalent) on sites like Play-Asia and is expected to ship in February 2025. The physical distribution is being handled by Rainy Frog and pre-orders are now live.
This title is based on the Data East release and swaps out the retro graphics for a more modern look. In our review, we called it "interesting to revisit" - with new characters, new combat options, and more. And if you don't have an issue with the visuals, the price tag might still make this one worth a look.
If you would prefer to go with a Switch eShop copy, the Night Slashers: Remake can be purchased right now for $9.99 / £8.99.
Would you be interested in adding this title to your physical Switch library? Have you played the eShop release yet? Let us know in the comments.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....
And FIRST!
If only it wasn't one of the worst art style decisions I've ever seen.
I bit the bullet and got this digitally for $6 USD, and had a few fun sessions with it.
But it's not nearly good enough to spend a premium price for a physical edition.
Woof. The whole game looked like the coolest airbrushed t-shirt at a flea market. I guess we can memorialize that.
I remember seeing this pop up on VGP, I believe. The distributor is Sega, so what i want to know is: why isn't Marvelous involved at all?
I'm not a snob but this is not pleasing to the eyes in any way shape or form.
@Dee123 I think most people who don't appreciate videogames look at them as amateurish or outsider art already. And that is FIIIIIIINE.
The only way I'm buying a physical copy is if they include the original game, like the physical version of Asha in Monster World.
@PKDuckman that's a great comparison.
Personally, I'm glad to see even a game like this getting a physical release for those interested!
@PKDuckman I still don't understand why the original game was not included. I don't mind the graphics too much but part of the allure of any remaster is how it's changed since the source material. Seems like a big ball drop to me :--/
