How's everybody enjoying #Switchruary? This week sees four new physical releases, with one of them being a new limited title coming out from Super Rare Games! Additionally, with rumors of a Nintendo Direct this week, I have a feeling the releases are going to be ramping up soon enough!
I've included all the limited titles that are still available to preorder/purchase underneath the weekly releases in this post. As always, if there are any suggestions, please reach out to us via e-mail or Twitter. These posts are for you so I want to make them as helpful as can be!
