Somewhere. I think.
Press release:

SOLD OUT STRENGTHENS TEAM 17 BOXED RETAIL PARTNERSHIP WITH TWO NEW TITLES

PLUS, MORE NINTENDO SWITCH TM RELEASES

London, UK - 1 November, 2017: Sold Out has strengthened its boxed distribution partnership with award-winning international games label Team17 for a stellar physical line-up of titles in 2018.

Yoku's Island Express - Players will be able to flip, bump and smash their way around the stunning tropical paradise of Mokumana Island as Yoku the dung beetle in a fun-filled open-world pinball platform adventure game.

Genesis: Alpha One - Takes players on a journey deep into uncharted space as the Captain of a Genesis starship. Explore a vast, procedurally generated universe, build and manage a space station, farm resources, clone crew members and fight off terrifying alien genetic mutations in this thrilling roguelike first-person survival shooter.

In addition, Sold Out will publish two more Nintendo SwitchTM titles from Team17's games label at retail, including the BAFTA award winning co-op cooking game Overcooked: Special Edition and the latest version of Team17's multi-million selling turn-based strategy game, Worms W.M.D.

Worms physical. That's great.

Too bad that I've already bought Overcooked and my fiancé did not liked it, and now I can not sell.

It's fascinating how easier it's getting for indies to just come up with physical retail now. Though I guess it's because the publisher space for these sort of games is finally large enough to do them.

Some publisher (I think that was Crunching Koalas) said that physical versions are only really advantageous if the game costs more than US$ 20.

Sweet! Did Overcooked on the Switch ever get a patch that sorted out it's framerate issues? I may finally jump in once the boxed copy gets released.

That never stopped Shovel Knight or Has-Been Heroes and the like from doing it.

I doubt they did it for making a good profit. More like a marketing opportunity.

Nice to see more Switch indies getting retail runs. Steamworld Dig 2, Stardew Valley and Golf Story should also get retail copies IMO, even if it means that the game will be sold at $30.

This is really, really cool. Tempted by Yoku and Worms on Switch! Maybe even Overcooked!
