Marvel Cosmic Invasion Scores 'Deluxe' Physical Release On Switch And Switch 2

They can do it when they wanna.

I’m really excited to play this, but a physical edition is tempting… I’m not sure right now.

The differing prices on digital versus physical is really encouraging. Perhaps Nintendo loosened their rule on that to account for the unpopularity of key cards.

@Liam_Doolan So, we're talking about a Switch 2 SKU that supposedly launched nine months ago, before we even knew much about the Switch 2 including the fact that the dreaded game-key cards that this SKU avoids using were even a thing...What kind of wizardry are they trying to pull off, anyway?

(EDIT: Since been taken care of.)

I have a feeling these will be getting a "complete edition" after dlc, so Ill wait on physical.

See companies! It's fine to charge less for digital (or more for physical) when we can see why that is. Digital should be cheap as chips if any company has the decency these days to pass savings on to customers. Feels like those days are gone.

This is a buy for me, very heavy 90s Capcom vibes.

Disappointing having to wait longer for physical, but compared to Key-Cards, this is a big improvement. I will get this.

At this point I'm just buying whatever few games actually come with a game in them lol. Adding this to the calendar

And there it is...and of course its another staggered release from the digital, but at least it's coming (and fully on the card)!

Praise Oatu, our prayers have been answered!! 🤩

It will be a long wait till March, but it will feel fantastic finally preordering this game.

Big third parties being put to shame by indies once again. No excuse for all the gkc version when indies do real physical version.

Looks like I’m waiting until March and actually buying it physically on Switch 2. So glad they’re doing this!

@Thomystic that rule hasn’t been a thing for years

Awesome! Definitely pre-ordering the Switch 2 deluxe physical version. Love to see it.

@Whirlwound it's a super small game. Plus the guys who made it did the same thing for SOR4 and TMNT Shredder's Revenge.

Count me in. DAY ONE !

@SegaDude113 Even if it wasn't small, you can't tell me it isn't possible to have a split physical-download game on NS2.

All this talk before about how the cards aren't fast enough for audio streaming. Fine. Have the card hold the actual game, and download the audio to the internal storage or any micro-SD-EX you might have.

Let's say that could happen with FF7 Intergrade. If the card can hold 64GB, it would go from a 93GB minimum download to under 30. Yes, I know, janky maths, it assumes much, but they know something like that would be possible. How long have we been running games off of discs with a download after first use and/or installation?

@Whirlwound i don't even have a Switch 2. I play on PC.
