Super Rare Games has announced a limited physical run of Platypus Reclayed for Nintendo Switch, producing 3,000 standard boxed copies and offering collectors a printed manual, an exclusive sticker, and trading cards.
The publisher also confirmed there are no plans for additional limited editions tied to this release.
Background and developer context
Platypus Reclayed is a modern revamp of the indie shoot ’em up Platypus, returning roughly 22 years after the original.
The project is led by original creator Anthony Flack in collaboration with the Claymatic team.
The title reworks the classic for contemporary hardware: it was reportedly reprogrammed from scratch and features all-new models, artwork photographed in 4K widescreen, updated gameplay mechanics, new weapons, and additional content.
The game first appeared as a digital download last September.
Release details and boxed contents
Super Rare Games confirmed the Switch boxed release will be available on June 4, with the sale starting at 10:00 AM PT / 1:00 PM ET / 6:00 PM UK / 7:00 PM Europe via the publisher’s storefront.
The standard package includes a full-color manual, an exclusive sticker, and trading cards.
No limited editions or alternate box variations have been announced.
Game features and presentation
Platypus Reclayed preserves the arcade-style, fast-paced shoot ’em up gameplay of the original while introducing modern enhancements.
The updated build supports two-player simultaneous action, showcases high-definition claymation-style artwork, and returns the original Platypus soundtrack alongside additional officially licensed remixes curated in partnership with C64audio.
Difficulty is adjustable to accommodate a range of players, from newcomers to series veterans.
Context for Switch owners and collectors
For Nintendo Switch owners who prioritize physical media, this boxed run gives collectors a tangible alternative to digital storefronts such as the Nintendo eShop.
While Nintendo Directs often spotlight high-profile first-party releases, independent publishers like Super Rare Games continue to service the collector market with timed physical distributions.
Where to buy
Super Rare Games will handle the sale directly through its website on the announced date.
Interested buyers should consult the publisher’s store for stock and ordering details.
