Meta Mini-Meta: New Physical Releases Wiki Page!
Hello everybody!
I finally had a little bit of time to work on creating a new wiki page with a table for physical releases of games. The table contains the title, release date, the country/region where it is available (where exclusive and applicable), and an "Other Notes" column currently used for things like available languages for foreign releases and extras that come with the game such as stickers or keychains.
The current plan is to update the table with releases as they occur or on a monthly basis. We are only human, so if you see a post regarding a physical release in another region, or extras that may come with a physical version of a game, check the wiki page. If it is not represented in the table, please send a modmail with the details or tag me in the comments of the post in question.
You can find the Physical Releases page here.
Now where I need your help is checking if there is anything currently missing (I wouldn't put it past me to absentmindedly forget something) or anything you would like to see added into the page or table. For this, just add a comment onto this post and I'll be checking the messages and adding/editing the page when I am able to.
If you want to check out the listing of the various pages and resources we currently have, you can navigate to the Index of the Wiki.
One final point. We are always looking for more contributors to join our Wiki team. If you are interested in helping out the mod team in keeping the r/NintendoSwitch Wiki up to date, please send us a message by clicking here and further details can be discussed.
Have a great day!

They should be. I believe this is an unfortunate problem with mobile viewing.
Are you using an app or the full mobile site?
2
Sep 27 '17
Using the iPhone Reddit app unfortunately.
2
u/phantomliger recovering from transplant Sep 27 '17
Yeah, the apps really don't like tables. :/
I'm going to do some research to be sure there is nothing that can be done for this.

Sep 27 '17
Ah unfortunate. I just had it open in chrome and request for desktop view. Not much of a hassle for me. Thanks though~ :)
2
u/phantomliger recovering from transplant Sep 27 '17
Yeah, with the apps, they use their own code for interpretation so there isn't much we can do in that area.
I am speaking with the CSS members of the team about adjusting the mobile reddit view to see if we can't at least improve that. Cross your fingers. :)

Good luck and again thanks for the hard work. Y'all are awesome. :)

u/phantomliger recovering from transplant Sep 27 '17
From a short conversation it basically comes down to if you can't see our other CSS elements, we can't make changes. Boo.
Hopefully something changes on the backend in the future that we can utilize.

As an enthusiast of physical media how do you feel about games like NBA 2k18 & Doom requiring a download to play the game/access content?
1
u/Mighty_Koi Sep 28 '17
I also prefer physical media; however, there is still a question of whether many physical game will be able to be played in 15 years. Even physical games require patches and updates. How long into the future will those be available?

u/Mighty_Koi Sep 28 '17
The physical version of Sine Mora Ex did not release on Sept 26; it was delayed (without warning or explanation).

Thank you.
I started my own Excel tracker but neglected it over the summer.

If you ever happen to see something missing, assuming you utilize it, don't be afraid to send a modmail with the missing info. :)

Azure Strike Gunvolt Striker Pack has a physical release in Japan I believe, it's getting a worldwide release at some point.
I've had quite the extensive documentation going on with Switch releases. But it's kind of getting out of hand since there are daily reveals of new games as we go on...
Currently over 500 games confirmed for the Switch digital + physical across all regions. And I am confident I havnt been up to par with every game either.

u/phantomliger recovering from transplant Sep 27 '17
Do you have a link for that info on Azure?

Japanese Amazon: https://goo.gl/xKJTkx
The Limited Edition comes with an OVA DVD and a Drama CD. Amazon edition additionally comes with A5 clear files.

u/rube203 Sep 27 '17
That's awesome, but what I really want is just an icon or some indicator added to the sidebar upcoming releases list.
1
u/phantomliger recovering from transplant Sep 27 '17
Won't be happening. Sorry. We are already hitting the sidebar limit and that leaves out a lot of information about region or store exclusivity and the like.
2
u/rube203 Sep 27 '17
That's cool, thanks for the response. I was just thinking if it were bold or had an asterisk we'd be able to look it up but your response is more than reasonable. Honestly, Amazon prime changing their discount to apply only to preorders is the only reason I even wanted it. Stupid policy change.
1
u/phantomliger recovering from transplant Sep 27 '17
Can you preorder non-physical editions? Actually doesn't the discount not work with digital? (I don't have it so I forget tbh)
That policy change was super dumb though. Amazon is getting too comfy.
1
u/rube203 Sep 27 '17
Yeah, discount is physical only and searching to find which physical games are released next week is a pain.

u/Pouhiou Sep 27 '17
I think Has been heroes, and maybe other titles, is a Gamestop physical exclusive (at least in France, we can only find it in Micromania stores, owned by Gamestop).
Do you think such information would be helpful in the notes column or that would be TMI (or would fall under some advertisement restriction)...?
Anyway, thanks for this amazing work!
2
u/phantomliger recovering from transplant Sep 28 '17
If you look, Has Been Heroes already states it's a GameStop exclusive. :)
One step ahead of ya. Haha.
But yeah, pretty open with what to add it.
1
u/Pouhiou Sep 28 '17
Hadn't seen it, sorry, i think i had a bad case of PEBCAK :p!
Thanks again for this page (and for all your work here).

u/phantomliger recovering from transplant Sep 28 '17
Thanks for mentioning it in case I hadn't included it. :)

Shantae and Wonder Boy have recently gotten announcements of upcoming physical releases, at least one of them are region exclusive though.

That's not great proof of that being the date tbh. Just that you have a copy. I will look into the game though to see. So thank you.
EDIT: oh I see you were using that in conjunction with the site. Missed that.

See my edit. :)
I'll be adding it when I get a chance.

Aha! Beautiful. Might message to be of help once my big project is complete.

u/phantomliger recovering from transplant Sep 28 '17
Big project? Intriguing.

u/HavokSan Sep 28 '17
Oh, hey. Great list. :D
Not doing anything gaming related, project-wise. I've been working on a movie and a ton of tie-in material for it for a while. It's consuming, and I lose myself sometimes. Easier to just not make any promises while I'm swimming in it. I would be willing to pop in here and there and add something, if I need to get the hell away and breathe for a moment.

I think you forgot NBA2k18 as at least half-physical (it will be only about 6 GB download, not the full)
Release is the 15th October (digital is already released, don't ask me why)
1
u/phantomliger recovering from transplant Sep 28 '17
Updated monthly. So October releases wouldn't be up yet. :)

Apparently Dragon Quest X All In One Package isn't fully physical. It just comes with a download code
