Physical Nintendo Switch Games Watch Thread: Avoid missing out on elusive physical games/variants!

I was gonna buy it for 30 a couple weeks ago, glad I waited.
I posted this in the Fighting Games Community OT, but I know that it can be interesting to some of you, so excuse me for crossposting from another threat.
They also have Children of Morta for $24.99 (normally $34.99). Looks like Amazon has matched the price as well. That tipped the scales for me in picking it up sooner than later.
I don't know how limited the run was, but I could see Reel Fishing Road Trip being sorta hard to come by in the future.
GameStop has new copies for $20 and the game itself is pretty great, honestly. It's an amalgam of fishing/visual novel/RPG with lite crafting mechanics. To scratch an itch, I usually buy about one fishing game per console and this one seems worth it so far.
Really wish we could get an HD port of Yuji Naka's Fishing Resort though. I hope it doesn't forever stay exclusive to the Wii.

Does anyone know if the FF7/8 Asian physical copy come with the latest patch on the cart? I'm just hoping the FF7 music bug is fixed without needing to update.
Just to put on the cart for the first time to try. Without updating it says version 1.0.1_5 and says it's the last version so I guess yes,, latest patch on cart.
That's for FFVII because FFVIII is updating.
Hmm...
That stand alone Samurai Shodown Pocket physical is interesting. Is that truly exclusive to them or just the region?
I also want to know it, because I want that physical SSP2 without picking the art book.
It doesn't seem like they will be offering two editions, so in order to get that appealing Samurai Shodown!2 - Pocket Fighting Series cart you will have to spend a lot of money. Their PS4/XBO limited editions were ~80€ excluded shipping, and here there are two carts, and a bigger book.
I was wondering why no price was announced... It's going to be 100€ or more, isn't it...?
Galak-Z and Skulls of Shogun pack releasing in February
Anyone feel like sending a copy of that to Germany? ^^ (well, depending on how much shipping would be...could be crazy high)
Our GameStop has never heard of it and no other retailer seems to carry it.
EDIT: Please disregard....turns out I cannot afford this right now.

"20k Megs"
Want. Is this sort of thing prohibitively expensive to ship to North America?
I bought the ps4 version (ntsc) at evo. With some luck, they will bring it over to next year evo
I didn't even know that was a thing and I didn't see it at the import store in NYC. I might have to order this now...
Jesus, just managed to get that Samurai Shodown le from pixnlove. Took so many goes, the website was super flaky
at 4pm it was crashing every 5 seconds
started working better at 20 past
Encountered the same issue earlier. And my order went through about the same time as yours. :)
Storm 4 was announced for Switch. One of the English trailers has a game box on it.
Storm Trilogy on Switch only got a box+code and a Japanese cartridge with Chinese/Japanese dub so I'm hoping we get a real physical this time. The dream release would be a collectors edition with all 4 games like the other systems got during the original release but I won't hold my breathe for that one.

I ordered the all in one edition and mine has not shipped either.
Whew buddy I figured I was too late for Shodown LE on Switch but they're still taking preorders.
After shipping to NA, price is over $200. Yeesh. But that's the sexy Switch box/collection yet, I just can't say no. Gosh darn do I love it.

He says in the video that he working on a physical release but the physical game publishers are not really interested in the game right now.

The game was released in the flood of September games and went really under the radar.
Super Rare Games are teasing their next release (the one after Smoke and Sacrifice, which seems to be set for January 3rd) through their mailing list:
With Divinity Original Sin 2 being published by Limited Run, my wishful thinking is that this would be GRID Autosport, Alien Isolation or Hellblade. All those are less than ~50£ though. Browsing the eShop, there are not a lot of games with that price digital only at the moment 🤔
Regarding upcoming games, AO Tennis 2 is being published physically by Bigben, so...
What else do you think it could be? The Sinking City?

Would love it if it were Sinking City but that would cost more already. You have to look at their presumed profit margin, not the actual eShop price tag. If it's 50 on the eShop, it won't be 50 for their limited retail release (see how Divinity 2 is full price sixty with LRG since it's not a 20 dollar game they're putting on a card for once).
They do say in the mail the digital price for the game is around £50 so it might be Sinking City. Frogwares said they wanted to do a physical version at launch but couldn't since they were self-publishing it.
What other games are around that price that don't physical version already? Not sure how pricing on eshop goes
GRID Autosport, Alien Isolation or Hellblade would indeed be great... Also Doom collection
Then I don't know and go back to stubbornly hoping it's Sinking City.
I'm considering importing the Switch collection of the Atelier Dusk Trilogy, but I'm a little wary.
Are there any impressions of the Switch verion yet?
Its also concerning that they are cramming three games onto one cart, what size of cart are they using I wonder.

No idea about impressions but I think it's already out in Japan.
Original Vita games are around 2.5Gb each so don't think there's much problem fitting into a cart all 3. Nice of them to actually do it without downloads and not pulling a Capcom even if the release is a bit expensive. Then again, Capcom "collections" also are pricey and they do download codes stunts...
Going to get the collection, just trying to see where to get the best price.
Speaking of Capcom Devil May Cry trilogy releasing in February, yes, only 1 on cart.
Why did you leave out this part? :)
I assume because they're not necessarily connected?
What places do you usually look at for imports?
I have only really used Play-asia so I'm kinda out of the loop when it comes to import sites.
fuck play asia.
