Schildmaid MX Physical Release Announced for Nintendo Switch with Limited Edition at Play-Asia

Schildmaid MX, an exhilarating side-scrolling shoot 'em up developed by Eastasiasoft, is officially set for a physical release on Nintendo Switch, with exclusive copies available through Play-Asia.

After initially targeting a 2023 launch, Eastasiasoft has now confirmed that Schildmaid MX will hit the hybrid platform in 2025, bringing its unique blend of frenetic action and strategic gameplay to a wider audience of Nintendo fans. The upcoming physical edition offers both standalone and limited edition options.

The limited edition package, strictly capped at just 1,000 units, includes a Nintendo Switch game card, an official soundtrack CD, a Joy-Con sticker set, and an individually numbered certificate, all housed in a premium collector's box.

This bundle underscores the growing demand among collectors and hardcore shoot 'em up enthusiasts for exclusive, tangible game editions on the Nintendo Switch. Pre-orders for Schildmaid MX’s physical release will open on July 3 at 8 AM PT / 11 AM ET / 4 PM UK / 5 PM Europe, exclusively on Play-Asia.

Given the limited nature of the special edition, fans are encouraged to act quickly to secure their copy. Schildmaid MX distinguishes itself within the shoot 'em up genre by integrating advanced shield mechanics and dynamic risk-vs-reward gameplay.

Players assume control of one of three distinctive fighter ships, each offering unique abilities to suit different play preferences.

The core game loop revolves around using the eponymous Schildmaid technology – absorbing and converting enemy projectiles into powerful counterattacks, empowering skilled players to turn overwhelming odds into strategic opportunities.

However, when shields are depleted, fast adaptation becomes crucial, challenging pilots to survive during 'danger time.' The game supports online leaderboards, inviting players to perfect their runs and compete globally for high scores.

Eastasiasoft highlights these features as a way to foster community engagement and long-term replay value, cementing Schildmaid MX as a compelling addition to the Nintendo Switch shoot 'em up catalog. With this physical release, Eastasiasoft continues its tradition of supporting indie games through both digital and collectible retail launches, further enriching the ever-diverse Nintendo Switch library.

For dedicated fans of arcade shooters, Schildmaid MX’s upcoming 2025 release is positioned as a must-have collectible and a fresh new challenge on Nintendo’s platform.
