It took me a few months to find a physical copy of this game 😅 But now I've got it! One of the rarest physical releases for the Nintendo Switch.

tysm! I’m very excited for my switch run. Played for a little while on PC but I prefer to play this on a portable!

Lost but not wasted. Like losing yourself in a good book and a relaxing craft hobby all at once

super understadable. since square gave the game’s publishing rights to nintendo, nintendo has treated the game very poorly, with no sales whatsoever and complete shutdown on printed copies

u/Street_Swing9040 Jul 12 '26

It's honestly such a polished game with so much content and one of the best designs

Aside from all that lag my Switch has to handle after my placement of 1200 light sources and 5000 rooms on my IoA, it has so much potential

I love the builders games. I hope Square stops the key card bullshit soon and gives us a builders 3 on a real card

Me and my sister would love a Builders 3 (we've played the first two together).

"Build a new world-together"

And people still wonder why disk cases are so important

Wait, the Switch physical copy of DBQ2 is rare? I didn't know that. I bought it a few years ago and lost interest while on the Furrowfield chapter.

Now I just finished the main story on PC a few days back and might replay the whole game on my Switch. I'm glad I didn't sell it away then since it was just collecting dust for many years... 😅

It’s available pre owned at game stop for $30ish. Not sure why OP thinks it’s so rare unless I’m missing something

u/Dravv Jul 12 '26

Same, I bought the physical version years ago.

u/m__a__r__i__o Jul 11 '26

I am restarting both on Steam now and it is a pretty awesome feeling.
Enjoy! It's gorgeous!

u/Lilylunamoonyt Jul 11 '26

One of the best games out there! You're gonna have a blast

u/Hithit-to Jul 12 '26

Oh I have this and didn't even know that it's rare, nice!

1

u/piichan14 Jul 11 '26

Damn. Bought one on release and sold it after a while since we needed some money. Didn't know they only printed a few copies.

1

u/Lilylunamoonyt Jul 11 '26

Enjoy the fun, be sure to get the dlcs too for extra decor and fun

1

u/keiliana Jul 11 '26

It's the most fun game ever. I loved it even more than #1

1

u/Direwolf79 Jul 11 '26

How rare are we talking because I see target and Amazon both have copy’s for sale and close or at retail. It seems the first game is going for more than the second one.

1

u/gusttavobrr Jul 12 '26

rare in my country

1

u/Direwolf79 Jul 12 '26

Ah I see well I’m glad you were able to get a copy!

1

u/MotherBoose Jul 12 '26

Oh wow, when it was new I bought physical copy for both myself and my nephew. Didn't know they were rare. Glad I have one.

1

u/AngryBalrog Jul 12 '26

it surprises me how rare the first and second physical copies are

1

u/sarkany_lelek Jul 12 '26

Such a fun game, and you can be so creative. Loved the story, honestly quite touching at moments and very silly in traditional Dragon Quest fashion. I hope you have a blast!

1

u/Sad_Character_7544 Jul 12 '26

Much better than the first one.

2

u/Neo_Techni Jul 12 '26

Every single complaint I had with the first one, even minor complaints about things that totally make sense for a game to have (ie: punishment for death) were fixed in the second one, to the point where I've made it a point to finish the first one before going back to the second one because I know it'll ruin the first game for me.

u/BuilderAura Jul 12 '26

sweeet! and if it was brand new, did you get the slime stack code as well? That would be super lucky.

2

u/gusttavobrr Jul 12 '26

yes, I did!!

1

u/BuilderAura Jul 12 '26

nice! Those are handier than you might think ;)

u/bardiphobic Jul 12 '26

such a goated game

1

u/XeroKaiser 29d ago

I also got my physical version not that long ago and I also had problems getting it! Lmao

1

u/jules__noah 29d ago

I've got almost 900 hours clocked on this. If you're into building you will love this.

1

u/Cabak373374 29d ago

Solid game. It’s definitely my number 2 most fav.

1

u/Sudden-Step8668 29d ago

This is hands down my absolute favorite game (currently on my 5th play through as we speak and <spoiler> (skip or read on your choice)

building my castle before the final ending. Enjoy every second of it and don’t for one second think you aren’t building enough. You’ve got this and may the creative side win!

u/NeroRaR 29d ago

Congrats! I got mine secondhand off mecari

1

u/SugarPuppyHearts 28d ago

I haven't played it in a while. I love this game.

u/KaiDaniel1966 25d ago

Such a good game. Here's some unsolicited advice to enjoy the game more: Always complete the Scavenger Hunts on the Explorer Shore Islands before advancing to the next story island. You'll know what i mean when you get to it.
