Physicality Games today announced a partnership with Akupara Games and Mastiff to publish a new physical release for the 2D adventure-horror video game Whispering Willows. It will be sold as both a standard release and a limited edition.
By purchasing the standard version, you’ll be given a physical copy of the game housed inside a collector’s tin with a transparent display window that stylishly shows off the game’s cover artwork. The Deluxe Edition contains a physical copy, steelbook, original soundtrack CD, 63-page artbook, 5″ light-up display stand featuring Elena’s spirit form, and collector’s tin with transparent display window.
Pre-orders open later this month. Copies will be sold straight from Physicality Games.

The visual novel NinNinDays is due out on the Switch eShop tomorrow. Take a look at some footage in the video below.
After heavy rumors circulated last night, E3 2020 was cancelled earlier today. Nintendo has always been a big supporter of the expo, but they’ll be unable to show that in action since this year’s event will no longer be happening.
Here’s a brief statement from the Big N about the situation:
Half Past Fate, a a rom-com adventure with a charismatic 3D art-style, launches on the Switch eShop tomorrow. Find some early footage below.
Much like Limited Run Games, Devolver Digital is moving forward with its E3 2020 plans. The event may have been cancelled, but the company’s Devolver Direct / press conference will still be live streamed. There could also be more than just that, but we’ll just have to wait on further details.
E3 2020 was originally set to take place during the second week of June. If Devolver Digital’s plans haven’t changed, expect the publisher’s presentation to air around then.
Retailers have posted the first piece of art from Shoujo Jigoku no Doku Musume, Nippon Ichi Software’s new action RPG for Switch. We have it above.
Additionally, an official product has been provided, which is as follows:
Despite E3 2020’s cancellation, Limited Run Games is sticking to its original plan for the show. The company’s previously-announced press conference, which ultimately amounts to a digital event similar to a Nintendo Direct, will air on June 8 at 12 PM PT / 3 PM ET / 8 PM in the UK 9 / PM in Europe.
Of course, since this year’s E3 is no more, the show is getting a slight rebranding. Limited Run Games is now referring to it as #LRG3.
Fans can expect the latest news on games that will be receiving physical releases. It’s also possible that there could be a new announcement or two based on previous years.
Following the news that E3 2020 has been cancelled, publishers and developers will be forced to pivot and change plans. Ubisoft is one such company that tends to hold a yearly conference, though that will no longer be happening.
Responding to the E3 cancellation, Ubisoft says it is “exploring other options for a digital experience”. Additional information will be shared in the future.
Ubisoft’s full statement reads:
Coconut Island Games will bring its battle arena brawler Rascal Fight to Switch next month, according an eShop listing. The store page has a release date of April 2.
Here’s an overview of Rascal Fight, along with a trailer:
