VGP Switch physical release reprint updates
Posted on 21 hours ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
VGP – or VideoGamesPlus – has started to make more noise in the video game space over the past few years. While the Canadian retailer has been selling games for awhile, it’s also now become known for restocks of physical releases on Switch. Titles that were generally sold out elsewhere or are hard to come by have been returning at VGP on a regular basis.
Going forward, we’ll be using this post to keep track of Switch physical release reprint / restock updates at VGP. Note that while the retailer is based in Canada, shipping is available in various regions including the United States and the UK. Also, keep in mind that some restocks sell out quickly so you may want to make a move sooner rather than later if you’re interested in a particular game.
