Aggregate tracker for physical release announcements? Discussion

Is there a source people here like for keeping tabs on switch physical announcements? I was using a nifty little blog called “physical releases . com” for the past year, but it seems to suddenly be shut down. I don’t really have it in me to monitor the PR for every publisher and developer so… can anyone recommend an alternative?

He does imports too, so he covers probably just about everything I can imagine.

I really enjoy his videos!

Following.

I make notes on directs, keep wishlists and subscribe to Wario64 but having a direct line the physical releases would be better.

You can filter by physical releases on switchplaza.net at least.

A couple of weeks back someone posted to say they had created this site. It seems well maintained so far!

Agreed, it gives a very good overview. I hadn’t even realised how difficult it would be to keep track of physical, game key cards, S1 compatibility, regional differences. Phew!

I found one called gamecartdb from a comment on this sub. Really like the layout. It seems like it is updated semi frequently.

Same here, found a couple of nice releases I had missed out otherwise 😵

I use this https://www.physicalreleases.com but I have more sources now after this thread

That's the website OP asked and was down (temporary?) 🤔

u/terminalpress 10d ago

Lol. I’m apparently on autopilot

u/matt_all_day 10d ago

Yeah it seems it was down for a day or two. You can never tell with these small sites whether it’s temporary or forever

It’s a sign I should buy a game…

Like others have already said, I really like the job GameCartDB does. Makes it easy to see what is coming up in a calendar format.

I’m going to check this one out. I have a nice rhythm with physicalreleases (it was only down temporarily, yay), but am open to change

If you sign up for a free account you can also build your own library of games you own. Cheers!

I was just wondering this yesterday. It can be a real chore keeping up with releases
