I can’t do it man, my wallet is weak.

I ended up ordering Boiling Bolt.  I'm a sucker for physical shmups and this looks like a decent Resogun clone.

... and we got another limited release publisher entering the playing field!

First release is another physical release of Fury (3rd time!).

I might be in for Boiling Bolt though....

Thanks for the heads-up! It is difficult enough to keep up with physical indie games, additionally there are more and more small publishers to release these games in small numbers.

I ordered Boiling Bolt and Dungeon Rushers. Shoot-em-ups and RPGs are a must for me independently of game quality. (typical collector sickness   )

This is the one company I have yet to order from lol.  Not that I don't think they've released some good games, just that most of the ones I would want I have already got on PS4 from someone else.  I was all for Steredenn until SLG beat them to it with a PS4 release.

The physical releases of retro- and indiegames became a flood nowadays and it is hard to keep up. (Btw, there is a good site which keeps track and delivers a nice overview: https://limitedgamenews.com/ )

However, there are two outstanding games which will go physical in the next couple of days as open pre-orders. BLOODSTAINED: CURSE OF THE MOON will be up for pre-order by Limited Run tomorrow, and the fantastic THE MESSENGER will be released by Special Reserve games on March 19th.

First-rate games done right with great replay value which go beyond the mere nostalgia factor and pixel enthusiasm without good game design.

Thanks so much!! Been waiting for someone to do the Messenger!!

A dev on resetera confirmed cuphead is getting a complete physical edition for xbox and switch.

So I was on Amazon looking at my wishlist and what get's recommended to me? The thing I had been hoping for for a few years now and them some. Yakuza 5 will finally be getting a physical release in the west, and it will be packaged in with a remaster of 3 and 4, all for 60$. I am thrilled it will have 3 and 4 with it, I am just happy 5 will be getting a physical finally. So it will be something I likely pre-order which I rarely do, February 11 is the current estimate.

And nope I hadn't bought the digital version waiting for this, and look, it paid off.

Just got my Skullgirls album and controller skin from Skybound. I really hope they ship an outer box that fits everything with the game. They've been rather fishy, dodging the question on social media so I'm kind of worried.

So it looks like the Spyro Reignited Trilogy on PS4 is getting a second print WITH all the games on disc.  There's some more info in the twitter thread below but the only way to tell the difference on the NTSC release is if it has a Crash trilogy insert in the case and the disc has a "2019" copyright date.

STILL waiting on this. An email from their customer service said they'd have a shipping date next week. That was in December. What the fuck.

Here's something you SHOULD back though:
Platinum Games' Wonderful 101 Switch port Kickstarter. US addresses get the physical game for about $50 shipped.

I want to back it, but I'm conflicted. Dangen Entertainment is somehow involved with marketing of the Kickstarter, and they've been outed recently for pretty shady business practices, as well as some scummy stuff their CEO Ben Judd did (harassment, among other things). W101 is my favorite Wii U game, so I want to see it have life beyond the console, but I'm not sure I want to throw any money Dangen's way. They published the indie shmup Devil Engine, which got a lot of buzz, and apparently sold reasonably well. The developer has apparently still not been paid for the game, months later. They've already far exceeded their goal as of this post, and are sitting at over $1.3 million. That tells me they're likely to release, and I can pick up a physical copy when it comes out. I'm undecided at this point.

There's yet another new publisher out there... Premium Edition Games which was started by JP'S SWITCHMANIA.  I guess he got tired of begging everyone else for games so he just started his own publishing company
