Assault Suits Valken Declassified Physical Release Announced by Limited Run Games for Nintendo Switch

Limited Run Games, renowned for its specialty in collector’s editions and physical releases, has officially announced the physical launch of "Assault Suits Valken Declassified" for Nintendo Switch.

Originally developed as a 1992 SNES classic known internationally as "Cybernator," this release marks the first time the modern Switch remaster will be available in physical form—a significant milestone for both fans of the game and aficionados of mecha action titles. The Switch version of Assault Suits Valken Declassified, which first landed on the Nintendo eShop in 2023, is the result of a meticulous port by studio M2, known for its dedication to faithfully preserving retro gaming experiences.

While the company Retro-Bit previously issued a physical cartridge run for the SNES, Limited Run Games is the first to offer the remastered edition in boxed form for Nintendo Switch.

This release not only sustains the legacy of Masaya’s original but also introduces a brand-new English translation and several quality-of-life enhancements. Collectors and fans have two versions to choose from: the standard edition, priced at $34.99 USD, and the Classic Edition, retailing for $64.99 USD.

The Classic Edition elevates the experience with a soundtrack CD, a curated selection of art cards, and deluxe packaging reminiscent of the original Super NES boxes—guaranteed to resonate with nostalgia-driven gamers.

For comparison, the digital version is available on the eShop for $24.99/£14.99, making the physical editions a premium choice for enthusiasts seeking exclusive physical content. Pre-orders for both editions of Assault Suits Valken Declassified are currently open exclusively on Limited Run Games’ website and will remain available until 11:59 PM ET on September 29, 2024.

According to the publisher’s official timeline, orders are expected to ship in January 2025, granting collectors worldwide the opportunity to secure their copies well in advance. In the words of our recent review, "Anyone with a passion for mecha, classic action gaming, or run-and-gun shooters will find much to love about Assault Suits Valken Declassified." The game’s blend of heavy-hitting mech combat and anime-inspired storytelling ensures it stands out as one of the most significant retro revivals on the Switch this year.
