Excellent, thank you. Cancelled my Play Asia pre-order and ordered this instead which works out slightly cheaper.

If track record's anything to go by, there'll be a Japanese retail release announced about 5 mins after I order, but it'd seem Steel Empire Chronicles is getting a physical release via Strictly Limited. Contains 4 games, per their blurb:

Steel Empire (Remake). The newest HD version of the Shoot ‘em up, which has a leveling system. The more items you collect the stronger you get, but also the opponents will get more resilient, and the hordes will get bigger.
Steel Empire (GB Advance version). The GBA version of the Shoot ‘em up classic, finally now on a big screen!
Steel Empire (Genesis / Mega Drive version). Witness the beginning of this historical milestone of the gaming industry.
Over Horizon (NES version). Customize your weapon system and fight against aliens in this rare Shoot 'em up classic.

Goes live tomorrow.

Quick question:

Would I be right in assuming that the JPN physical version of Tetris Effect: Connected for the Switch can play in English language?

Only asking because I'm considering purchasing that instead of paying LRG for the version they're selling.

The game will boot directly in your console's language if that language is present on the cart, and many Japanese Switch games include English if the versions released close to each other

Sky Racket (Nintendo Switch) - 1Print Games

https://1printgames.com/product/sky-racket-nintendo-switch/

Sky Racket Limited Edition ships May 5, 2023. Please read the description for more information.

Also came across these for anyone that loves inscryption it's not a game as special edition are already releasing a physical of it soon but devolver is making a special replica pack of cards as a collectible all packs contain the same 12 cards so it's more of an art thing to enjoy than trying to play a game with them but they are replicas of the real world cards not the in game ones. I came across them randomly so don't think they are advertised that much, they dont ship till july though just preorders at moment.

Inscryption Card Pack

Probably goes without saying but online works fine too. It lets you select your country of origin but connects to anyone worldwide. Was playing it last night until the small hours… Jpn version comes with a very nice slipcase too.

Seems there's some new Irem collections coming to modern formats, and Strictly Limited have got physical versions for them all up starting yesterday. Here's the thing: there are 5 (five) separate releases, and of course there's limited edition boxes with all 5 of them in, but you're paying up now for a Q4 '24 release when you're only being told what games are on the first release (Image Fight, Image Fight II, and X Multiply).
