The original Fear Effect came to Nintendo Switch this past summer. We previously covered the game here.

Ys vs. Trails in the Sky Alternative Saga physical

Not long after it came to Nintendo Switch digitally, Ys vs. Trails in the Sky: Alternative Saga is now getting the physical treatment. Limited Run Games just shared its plans for production today.

At least for now, it seems that only a collector’s edition will be sold. Each unit includes the game with a digital soundtrack code, two CD soundtrack, booklet, steelbook, double-sided poster, hardcover art book, acrylic standee, and keychain.

Triggerheart Excelica Enhanced physical

Limited Run Games today shared the news that it’s planning a Nintendo Switch physical release for Triggerheart Excelica Enhanced, a vertical shoot ’em up game.

Only a standard version will be available. However, each unit includes a booklet (the contents of which have not yet been detailed).

Drova physical

Today, Limited Run Games announced that it will produce a physical version of Drova: Forsaken Kin on Nintendo Switch.

Only a standard release is planned at this time, so there won’t be any sort of collector’s edition. However, each copy comes with a booklet.

Here’s an overview of the pixel art action RPG:

It’s been over a year since we heard about the new Nintendo Switch physical release for Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus, but Limited Run Games has finally followed up with details. Remember that this has all of the data on a 32GB cartridge.

The company is planning a standard version, Steelbook Edition, and Collector’s Edition. With the Steelbook Edition, you’ll get the game, a steelbook, and slipcase. The collector’s edition has these same items plus the original soundtrack, USB floppy drive, BJ Blaskowicz and Supersoldat action figures, star card set, and replica album covers.

R-Type Delta HD Boosted physical

Today, Limited Run Games confirmed that it’s working on a physical release for R-Type: Delta HD Boosted on Nintendo Switch in the west.

There are plans for both a standard version and “Full Force Edition”. The latter includes the game, booklet, special box, double CD soundtrack, official fan book, lenticular poster, cloth poster, and art cards.

Astro Dogs physical

Limited Run Games is handling a physical release for Astrodogs on Nintendo Switch, the company has announced.

This will be a bit different compared to some of the company’s other products. For one thing, it’s not an ESRB cover (instead it’s PEGI for Europe), though it will work on all Nintendo Switch systems worldwide. Also, note that only 3,000 copies will be produced.
