Let's Get Physical (Physical)

Seems there's a storm brewing in this space related to First Press Games.

New update to this saga over here for those with skin in the game. TLDR is First Press are now starting to point fingers at their suppliers.

New stuff of note at LRG includes Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP, Humanity, and Ninja Five-O. Notably no re-issue of the GBA cart itself on the latter, but modern, "Carbon Engine" enhanced ports.

Pix'n Love are releasing Jusant for PS5 along with an artbook.

Latest from Retro Bit is Shubibinman Zero, a localised version of the Satelliview game that's available on cart from the usual spots.

In terms of new releases, Super Rare have got three games going up this Thursday - Otxo, Grime, and Sable. I suspect that like many others, I'm most familiar with the last!

Tomba Special Edition (and a whole lot of related tat) is now available at LRG.

It's not on their site yet, but Pix'n Love have confirmed they're doing a physical for the new SvC Chaos ports.

Didn't see a physical version of SvC Chaos coming at all!

Don't really want to pay £20 for the digital version so might hold out for the physical instead.

Thanks fuse!

[Nu-Eclipse]

LRG confirm that they too will be dropping a physical version of SvC Chaos. Details TBC.

Not gonna lie...think I'm probably going with Pix'n Love on this one.

Didn't even know this as being on the Switch, but Fangamer are doing a physical for Faith: The Unholy Trinity. It's up for pre-order on both the US and EU sites.

Pix'n Love are also doing a physical for Chants of Senaar. Liked this a lot when I played it!

Valkyria Chronicles for Switch and PC physical editions available at LRG

Fangamer are doing physicals for Pizza Tower, and right now the "get notified" page is only on the US site and not on the EU one.

Red Art Games are handling publishing for Macross -Shooting Insight- and Romancing Saga -Minstrel Song- Remastered International.

LRG were making a big fuss recently about something which turned out to be Collector's Editions of Sonic X Shadow Generations. Uh, sure? They are very unsubtly hinting however that they've got a hand in a few things from yesterday's Direct, one of which is almost certainly the Castlevania: Dominus Collection.

Seems retailers in the US/CA (Amazon, VGP) have got pre-orders open for the Suikoden 1&2 HD Remaster set, but so far I've not seen it any UK retailers...

LRG have got the Switch version of Assault Suits Valken: Declassified up for pre-order. Mentioned elsewhere on the forum too, but they've also got these coming in a couple of weeks:

SNK are releasing two physical compliation volumes of ACA's Neo•Geo games for Switch in Japan this December. No current word on a Western release but wouldn't put it past the usual suspects (LRG, SLG, Pix 'n Love, etc.) to do something.

If you've ever purchased any Neo•Geo compilation before or you've already dug into the ACA series then there is nothing new in these titles other than the novelty of having them physically.

Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord -- now that's how you title a game! -- is getting a european release.

[importaku]

Wizardry looks quite good I have only ever dabbled in a few of the old Japanese ones and struggled. Thankfully this time the Japanese version has English there’s a super deluxe release of it like with a lot of the limited run ones although it’s kind of pricy.

[Deuteros]

After hearing about the weak JPY for so long, I had a look at the prices for this on Amazon.co.jp and, yeah, it's still kind of pricy.

Can you spot what the difference between the regular Deluxe Edition and the Amazon-exclusive one is? Could it be the coin SUPERDELUXE's own store version is offering?
