Wow, didn't think they would release physical games for PC. So what, it'll be a disk and a box? Lol I'd like to see them release a floppy disk.

I still have most of my old physical pc game CD's and some floppy's. Too bad my laptop doesn't have a disk drive. At least desktop computers can still have a cd drive.

so nice to see this company still printing for old and oldish consoles! I don't know why companies don't do this more often, especially with the price some retro games have in the second-hand market... I'd imagine licensing is one reason.

Shantae GBC had great graphics at the time for a Gameboy Color game but trying it again recently has shown that this is a title that could do with a remake.

Still wonder why Papers Please still hasn't made an appearance on the Switch though.

Both of those shantae games isn't good in my opinion. Is Gameboy one is $5 on 3DS eshop... :ninja:

Tell me where a new sealed copy is $5? Digital aint worth shit and i already got it digitally, its called the rom.



Limited run games showing the stupid anti physical release publishers whats up. I fully support them. I just wish there was more copies so the shitty re-sellers would not be able to raise the price as much. I never buy form a re-seller. they can fuck off.

honestly the original deserves a remake more than anything, it just needs some minor tweaks (remove screen crunch, add a separate button for items, and make the running speed the normal speed and the walking speed the modifier speed)

I agree, would pay money for a remake than the original.
