Select iam8bit physical Switch games being offered through Best Buy (UPDATE)

Not so limited anymore

GN Version 5.0

iam8bit has been selling a few Switch games in physical form, just like other boutique retailers do. Those who snatch up the games from these retailers are under the impression that these titles won't be made available to purchase anywhere else. That's usually the case, but it appears iam8bit has struck a special deal with Best Buy for some titles.

Listings for physical versions of both Gorogoa and Sayonara Wild Hearts have appeared on Best Buy's website, which was quite surprising to some people, as iam8bit never made mention of this happening. Perhaps the listings have gone live a tad earlier and iam8bit hasn't put together their official announcement yet. Either way, some are happy to see an expanded reach for these physical versions, while others feel a bit miffed at their limited purchases not being quite so limited anymore.

It's worth noting that as of this time, the Gorogoa listing is still live, but the Sayonara Wild Hearts listing seems to have been yanked. Not quite sure what that means, but we'll reach out to iam8bit for a statement.

Thanks to Cbattles6 for the heads up!

UPDATE - iam8bit has released a statement explaining the entire situation. Check out the full statement below.
