Tuesday, May 18th

(NEW PRE-ORDER) Cursed Castilla Collector's Edition (49.95€) Abylight

This is for the PEGI physical release. They have confirmed that an ESRB physical release will be made available through Limited Run Games at a future date. I believe this will be a distributed title through LRG and not part of their numbered run.

Please note that there has been no mention of an ESRB physical release. Like with the first game, it was only a PEGI physical release.

(NEW PRE-ORDER) West of Dead: Path of the Crow ($34.99) Limited Run Games

This is a distributed title through Limited Run Games and limited to 5,000 copies.

(NEW RELEASE) Manifold Garden

This is the JPN physical release. Although the Nintendo JPN eShop page says it supports English, I'm unsure if it'll be removed for the physical release. With that said, iam8bit is releasing this physically in the West and you can pre-order here.

  • Amazon Japan (~$34.41) Link

  • Playasia ($42.99) Link - Save 5% with code "SWITCHMANIA"

Please note that the Amazon Japan page says that first printings include a music CD and special masking tape. I'm unsure if Playasia will also include these items.

  • iam8bit Exclusive Edition

I believe this will be French language only, much like the first edition of the game (this is a newly updated release).
