So I guess it's not reversible, but an entirely separate cover that you can pick up for free? Can't say I've ever seen anyone do this, but they probably have. Pretty cool!

Edit: Apparently there are multiple!

Pretty sure Bethesda did this with Skyrim for the Switch as well, it was a beauty of a cover as well.

Like this one to!

Bethesda is the good guy 3rd party dev that could on the Switch. I appreciate all the effort on bringing their games on the Switch with such quality ports where they even enhance them with this great looking covers.

The jpeg looks high-enough res that you could just print it out yourself onto some glossy high-weight stock and avoid the 'limited supply' nonsense.

Yea, GameStop has exclusive artwork for Skyrim as well. Was just the artwork handed out with the game. IIRC, it was uploaded and you can print your own out now, though it's probably not exactly the same.

I'd love to have the alternate cover art, but between that at $60 and no artwork at $48 with GCU I think I'll stick with GCU. Maybe I can grab one cheap somewhere else.

Regular cover looks way better, but more companies should experiment with reverse/special covers. The one in Doom was soooo good.

I'm gonna print this if I ever decide to buy it for the Switch. Always appreciate some high res covers :D

Very smart considering this is somehow making me like 25% more likely to buy this game. Collector mentality. I got the snowy Skyrim cover from Gamestop a few months after that came out. The employee told me he had them and gave me one for free.

Which of the three Blaskowicz enhancements is better to invest in?

Which one is the most fun?

You get all of them eventually, and maps tend to be designed for all 3. The DLCs center around each of them and hint at the playstyle they support: super-crawl = stealthy, shoulder-charge = action, stilts = mix.

I cannot see how seeling an unplayable game on cartridge can make them the good guy third party. Sega, for instance, brought Sonic Forces day and date to the Switch, with the complete game on cartridge, same for Sonic Mania. Activision appears to do the same for Crash Bandicoot N-Sane Trilogy (minus the exclusivity deal with Sony for the first year).
