Is this all were going to get from playtonics this e3?

Majority of us have had the game ages and couldn't care less about this.

I wonder if the physical Switch version will have the upcoming DLC included on the cart?

I actually was waiting for this to happen (and it was the main reason I was watching Limited Run Games' E3 presentation yesterday). As a day 1 Kickstarter backer I own the physical PC version (which I beat in April 2017) and also received a digital download code for the Switch version. But I gave it away to a friend since I wasn't interested in having it digital-only. I'm happy to pre-order this asap and finally play this again - but this time on a Nintendo console where it belongs and including the many updates that were released since my last playthrough.

Here's the original announcement which was broadcasted yesterday on Twitch:

(Since everyone is using my thread which was actually 2 minutes late, maybe someone could merge both threads?)

I wonder if the physical Switch version will have the upcoming DLC included on the cart?

Maybe they'll release some kind of physical "Ultimate Edition" a few years down the line when all patches and DLC have been finished? (WayForward did that for Shantae: Half-Genie Hero)
I wouldn't expect any differences for the "Limited Run" version, though.

'Soon'...

Way more than a month, I think...

It's been over 2 months since they said soon. Im beginning to feel a very strong disliking (i won't say hate yet) towards playtonics use of the word soon. It's pretty much a lie.

Agree.

Their wording in the latest update definitely suggested that there’s “several news”, didn’t it? So this can’t be it if they’re serious about it...

They just announced on Twitter that the Japanese version of the game is releasing in the eShop today, so that's at least two brief bits of news recently.

The Only thing I hate about this is the fact people were asking for a Physical release & playtonic were like we will see if the Demand is there & how well the Digital release goes. That is why I was holding off buying the Digital version & plus I have in physical form on Xbox One & PS4. Now Playtonic know that the demand is there for a Physical release they cant be bothered to do it themselves & release it just like they did for the Xbox One & PS4 my opinion if they are not going to release it like they did with Xbox One & PS4 don't bother releasing it in physical form at all as now I have to import a physical copy from the U.S. to the U.K. which means I have to try & make sure & hopefully someone is in to accept it just in case there is a surplus charge. Yet if they released it normally people could just go to the shop & pick it up.

Yeah, these physical Switch copies will certainly not spread as well when they're not getting produced for normal retailers as well. GameStop, Amazon, you name it.

It can only be connected to some complications since Switch game cards are a different and more rarely produced medium (compared to Sony's & Microsofts Blu Ray discs, that is). I hope Playtonic will be able or willing to produce real game cards for the Switch for their future games, if they're serious about their target group.

I hope that they finally deliver. This is slightly off-topic now, but compared to my initial hype, they didn't really fulfil my expectations. I love them as developers for their previous work, but they need to get to a higher polish level. Maybe get an alliance with a bigger studio, I don't now. Just combine their style with great game design again.
