Shantae fans, we have the news you’ve been waiting for! The lovely hair-whipping, belly dancing half-genie is coming to the Nintendo Switch™ in the physical Shantae: Half-Genie Hero Ultimate Edition! Get ready to feel the beat as you jump, fight, and transform through this exciting adventure!

And she won’t be alone!

The Shantae: Half-Genie Hero Ultimate Edition will include the Pirate Queen’s Quest! Slide into bodacious buccaneer Risky Boots’ stylish footwear as you traverse Sequin Land in a brand-new storyline as the Queen of the Seven Seas!

I'm holding off buying any digital games on Switch in the hope of physical releases!

It's killing me sometimes though! I made that mistake with Sony buying up a ton of digital games only to find myself repurchasing them later. Really hoping for Kamiko and Fast RMX specifically.

They should release a Shantae-collection, those games are all over the place on various platforms, but would be nice to own - and play - them all on the Switch.

yes, that talented of a member
I really have to slow myself down. I am getting a huge backlog of games for PS4 just because the appeal of limited physical collectors editions. Switch I just download digitally so I can switch between all my games on one card. I actually kind of wish I did the same with PS4 for remote play.

edit:

That being said...BUBSY?

Random indie game Past Cure spotted on GameStop's website:

Also, regarding Bullet Girls Phantasia, I wonder if Play-Asia are just assuming it's getting release because of the English trailer. This it the only announcement I could find from H2 Interactive: http://www.h2interactive.co.kr/board/news_view.php?uid=417 which is about the Korean version. Their English site makes no such announcement. They also usually send me announcements for their English stuff in advance of what appears on their site, and I never got anything.

huh? looks like proper plastic wrap like you find on any other game.

Hm, are you sure? Look at the top left corner, it looks like there is a lot of air underneath. I fear it's sealed like the Nicalis games, which aren't machine sealed. (probably because of the extras included)

do you want them to have that cheap shrinkwrap seal like stuff that has been resealed? cause what I'm seeing is the superior plastic seal with the foldover corners at the bottom.

bottom game: what I think you mean you want? (shrinkwrap)
top game: what I see in the pic and I think is the better case of sealed plastic

No of course not, I want y-fold machine shrink wrap, but that's not what the pictures looked like to me. But of course I could be wrong (hopefully I am). :-D

I can fairly clearly see the folded foil here:

the loose bit on the bottom case is simply one that's open/broken seal

Seems like Play Asia still have Soldam stock... for now. I'll have to order it one of these days alongside Danganronpa V3. The AUS version is on Play Asia too but I can't actually buy a copy at an Australian retailer it's bizarre.

Crap! Any ideas how much they charge for postage to the UK?

During their last release (PS4 Guacamelee! STCE) someone mentioned overseas shipping was $22 US. I have no idea where they are though. It was $11 US shipping to Canada. I wonder if VGP.ca will also get this one like they did with Guacamelee! STCE.
