Is this Retail or Download only? Either way, I'm going to get it at the same time Mario Kart 8 Deluxe comes out.

Nicalis posted the box art of this game a few weeks ago (probably a early version of the finalized box art or it's just for showoffs) for the Switch version so there might probably be a retail version coming, but even then if I owned a Switch I wouldn't want to pay full price for nearly all the stuff you would get in the PC/WiiWare release.

I hope it will be like enemy and boss HP gets doubled similar to Terraria. It would probably make the game more fair. Still, multiplayer would be a great idea but i don't it would work out mainly due to the camera.

Nicalis made available on GameStop for a PreOrder at $29.99 (+$5 express or +$10 day one and tax)

GameStop - United States
EBGames - Canada ($39.99 and No keychain?)

If you preorder the physical copy, you get a limited keychain, a cute chibi PVC character! At RANDOM, which will you get, Quote, Curly or Balrog? Exclusive to GameStop and to Pre-Orderers, also limited in-store release from day one.

Release date is June 20, 2017 in United States & Canada. I preordered mine!

Damnit Nicalis, making me buy Cave Story for the 25,489th time for a console I probably won't even own at the time of release for a really steep price from a company I'd rather not do business with just for a keychain... :greydroll:

I'm just waiting for the Super Nintendo port that will probably never be made (and certainly not by Nicalis)

Okay, not really, but it would be cool to see.

Hey, if someone produces working physical copies of any of these retro console ports I will happily buy them. I mean actually fully working ROM cartridges.
That would be a legal nightmare. No-one will ever do it.

Even the readme file for the MD port reads:
Will you release this on cartridge?

No. Nicalis would sue me.

Just buy a flash cart from some online store, load the rom onto it, and print your own labels. It isn't exactly hard.

Now Nicalis has got it available on Amazon for Pre-Order here: USA Canada
Due to the Nintendo Switch being region-free, it may be possible for you to import if you're outside USA or Canada.

I gave up on amazon years ago because back then everything except for books were ineligible for international shipping. But that was a long, looooooong time ago. Is that still the case these days?

No better way to find out then try it yourself.

Probably still have some restrictions, people in New Zealand weren't that supportive I recall

As long as your country is in the list, it is eligible. You can see here.

The rates, here

And, according to the Product Information in "Cave Story+ - Nintendo Switch" listing, yes. It can be shipped to select countries.

It wouldobviously have to cost less to buy them separately, but probably not enough to justify doing so and ruining their rarity,
Fuck rarity, I just want me a goddamn Cave Story keychain. I don't even have a Nintendo Switch anyways.
