The Nintendo Switch has many titles, but one of the systems’ most important markets is the indie game one. In fact, without the indie game market, you could argue that it wouldn’t be as popular with certain developers like it is now. But, many people don’t like to get digital games, which is why people like Super Rare Games are so valuable. They work with publishers to release limited-time runs of physical copies of indie games. And the team loves what they do.
In an interview with ComicBook.Com, Super Rare Games George Perkins talked about certain things that they do, including how they pick which indie games to put into physical copy:
The selection process is a fun one! We get a large amount of fans reaching out to us asking us to publish games and this fuels large amounts of the business development we conduct. Once we have a shortlist of games that we know us and our fans love, we reach out to the developers and go from there. The industry is very small and half of the time I share mutual friends with the teams we reach out to and we connect very easily. We have only been around for 5 months but everything happens much quicker and easier now, we are building up trust as people see the quality of the service we provide.
But for George, one of the coolest things is telling developers that their little indie game is getting a physical edition:
It’s always an amazing experience working with such a wide range of multi-talented developers. Almost all of the time they are so thrilled to have the opportunity to bring their creations to life and is so warming to be able to help with that. We work very closely with them to create the best package we can and this is very special for both parties involved. I cannot begin to tell you how amazing it is when we get all the games dropped off at our warehouse! I usually grab 5 copies and go and stick them on my shelf proudly! Once I recover from the excitement we send a load to the developers so they can have the same moment.
Super Rare Games is continuing its run on Nintendo Switch, so if you have a game that you want to see in physical form, you should let them know.
