Has this even received a digital release date on Xbox One?
$14.99. $13.49 for PS+ members during the first week.

I'll double dip... On the same system
I refuse to play this game without 3D. Will gladly play again.akidnamededdy

You can play it now for half that cost though...
Are people really this against digital games? Or is it a geography/availability thing?
Anyway, this is neat. Shovel Knight deserves everything.

PS4 of course -> Day 1
That's the cheapest you'll likely see a new physical retail game because of the COGS, doesn't make sense otherwise

I might double dip with the Playstation Digital version next week & the retail version!
To avoid selling it at a loss, methinks.

It costs $ to print stuff and make discs.
Plus this will probably have some kind of differences or collectible that will add value.

Nice. Was gonna download this on Vita, but I'll import the PS4 version now instead.
Would've bought on 3DS if it had been day and date with the digital version, but even though I enjoyed the game it's hard for me to justify buying it again at $30. Generally speaking, though, if I'm willing to spend $15 on a digital game, I would be more than happy spending $30 on the same game at retail instead of buying it digitally.

Just buy the game digitally, people.
Maybe it has a sweet as hell manual the likes we haven't seen in years?

Placeholder prices are a thing for retailers like this.

Wow, I'm buying a 3DS copy for sure.
Yeah, they may be putting up the money to publish it in retail stores but someone else has to be helping them with the retail side.
I also don't think they'll have all the stretch goal content done by September, so you won't be getting a complete package on the disk.
Still curious as to whether this actually comes out in Japan at some point too. That's my litmus test as to whether the Nintendo folks in Kyoto care about indie games or not.

Double the cost as digital? I get it costs to print and produce these but man. No thanks.
Hopefully there are extras to it.

I'm super happy for Yacht Club Games. They completely deserve the success they're having. I hope they have a Wii U physical release as well.
Also, the Best Buy pricing could be preliminary. It would be cool if they could drop it down to $19.99, but I'm sure the physical release is especially expensive for 3DS.

We will always have Retro City Rampage and Child of Light.
It hits PlayStation April 21st, friend.
Things I thought, in order
1. "Where's the Wii U physical version?"
2. "$30, really?"
3. "They were so adamant about no physical version. What changed?"
4. "Paging Johnny Vila back on the KS page"
Kickstarter had a manual, but it's not $15 increase amazing. Art book isn't out yet and would be too expensive anyway given it will compile a crap ton of the fan art for the official contests.
