Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP - Switch 2 Edition Locks In New Release Date, Includes Paid Upgrade (Japan)

Stable 60 fps is awesome, and very glad we can upgrade. Glad I waited to play it.

For those interested, it's getting a proper physical release in Japan (not a GKC or code-in-a-box).

I'd imagine LRG will do a physical version in the US since they did the physical release for the Switch 1 version.

Nice, I'll probably get this. It's a great game, but it's a shame they couldn't keep the music licences. I still can't understand why music licences for games don't work the same as for films. Imagine watching Pulp Fiction, but they had to make new music for each new streaming service.

A physical version that includes all fixes, updates and a stable 60fps? This has to be the definitive edition.

Wonder if we'll get a physcial over here. If not I'll import it. Need to order Majorgami and Full Metal Schoolgirl anyway.

Has any remastered/remade game actually benefitted from being Unreal-ified?

When they said early 2026 I kinda expected January-maybe February, not the end of March.

It's sad that "Stable 60fps" is a feature like we should be grateful. Despite this I am looking forward to picking it up.

@topsekret If it’s LRG, I’ll turn to my friends at PlayAsia and import the heck out of it.

Glad it's been bumped up to 60 frames (still don't understand how the xbox 360 was able to pull it off but the Switch wasn't), but i was hoping the "upgrade" had included all the missing music tracks from the original. Still, it's full of charm and worth a playthru or two.

Is this new version coming out in Japan GKC or is it actually on the cartridge??

‘Scuse me while I gaze wistfully at Killer 7 screenshots.

The Switch 1 port was messy on the Switch 1 hardware. It's better when you play the S1 version on the S2 but it actually could still really do with a native S2 version at least. So cool!

Once again, friendly reminder that this rerelease has loads of issues, including but not limited to a completely butchered soundtrack. Many of the tracks had to be cut because they were licensed (one of the game's biggest pros), but even original tracks such as the loading screen theme end up removed and were not even replaced. If you're interested in Lollipop Chainsaw, I highly recommend playing the original Xbox 360 version instead.

All this time and I haven't even seen the switch 1 version in stores. What gives?

@Tempestryke It’s there for me

@DominionGamma Good to know. That gives me some hope that I'll still be able to find it.

@atombomb66 Its a "Switch 2 Edition". That means it's all on cart. Most if not all "Switch 2 Editions" are like that.

I just hope my collectors edition isn’t delayed again.

I am shocked they charge for an update that improves the basic requirement of frame rate. They should have worked on fixing the frame rate on the switch one version and I bet if Nintendo had a more customer friendly refund policy they would have been motivated to fix it.
