WayForward told one fan on Twitter that The Mummy Demastered will be distributed as a retail release on Wii U. Switch could also get a physical version, but that’s yet to be confirmed. WayForward will share more news in the future.
There's a physical US for Wii U, PS4 and PSVita. However we are in talks for retail release on the Switch. Will announce when we know more

Best Buy Canada shows placeholders for three Switch games supposedly being revealed at E3
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 43 Comments
If Best Buy Canada’s E3 page is anything to go by, at least three new Switch games could be announced next week.
The retailer currently has placeholders images up on its main page. Each one says “To be revealed at E3”.
Now, we do know that one of them isn’t Super Mario Odyssey as it already has a listing. Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle could be a candidate for sure.
The one thing to be slightly concerned about is that Pokken Tournament DX and Fire Emblem Warriors don’t have their own listings on Best Buy Canada right now. But surely they aren’t considered to be new reveals, right? In any case, it’s always a good idea to maintain some skepticism when dealing with retailers. We’ll know what the future holds very soon.
