As we’ve discovered in recent weeks, multiple third-party Switch 2 games will be sold as “Game-Key Cards”. Nintendo explains on its website how these cards are “different” from regular physical game cards as they don’t contain the full game and act as a ‘key’ to download the title onto your system via the internet.<\/p>\n

While many collectors were hoping dedicated physical distributors might step in and save the day, this doesn’t appear to be the case for the upcoming Atlus release.<\/p>\n

Limited Run Games has just announced it’s helping Atlus and Sega distribute a Collector’s Edition of RAIDOU Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army<\/a> and according to a notice on its website, the Switch 2 Collector’s Edition of this title includes a game-key card.<\/p>\n

Unsurprisingly, this hasn’t gone down well online – as for $249.99 USD<\/strong> the Collector’s Edition comes packaged with everything but a proper physical copy of the game. This announcement follows Atlus last week confirming the standard physical copy of Raidou Remastered for Switch 2 would be a game-key card release.<\/p>\n

Limited Run notes on the Raidou Remastered Collector’s Edition store page that it is “not a part of the Limited Run Games Collection” and “is not a numbered release”, which means the distributor could take a different approach to other releases in the future, depending on the partners it’s working with.<\/p>\n
