Cat Quest will be receiving a physical release on Switch, according to a listing on 365games. The UK retailer has it down for July 6. That date as well as the physical version in general haven’t been confirmed, but an announcement could be coming soon.
PQube did publish a physical version of Cat Quest on the PlayStation 4. Giving Switch the same treatment would certainly make sense.

Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Switch did well for GameStop in 2017. In the retailer’s latest financial results, Nintendo’s console was mentioned as a big factor for driving sales. For the fourth quarter, GameStop’s hardware sales increased 44.8%, which was led by demand for Switch. And for fiscal 2017 as a whole, hardware sales rose 28.3% – again thanks to Switch.
During the financial call for GameStop’s financial results, one investor brought up Switch again. CEO Michael Mauler fielded a question about attachment rate, and whether it will continue to rise as more systems are purchased and the installed base increases.
