@Hamstrman - NIS does not own either IP, nor do they own the developers that make these games in any way, shape, or form. So usually, unless a contract states otherwise (like relinquishment of property), after a publishing deal is done, the rights are then transferred back to the rightful owners.

@Magician P5 Tactica was also confirmed for a physical by the same retailer. The same retailer doesn't have a Switch port for Metaphor ReFantazio though, so I imagine it's skipping Switch.
Funbox, continuing to do God's work for the pervy erotic fans.

@Magician Is Dead Cells complete on the cart with that version? Well up to this point, no doubt there will be another 60 DLC's before they've finished with the game!!
@MarioBrickLayer I assume it'll be the same cartridge as the Signature Edition.

@MarioBrickLayer well yeah but they said they're going to add content to the game through 2025, so it's already been made obsolete, as someone else here pointed out.
I was so excited after waiting all these years to get the game (mainly because its difficulty scares me), to be rewarded with years more of DLC on cart. Only to find out a week later it's far from complete.
Should I be waiting another two years for the "finally done we promise edition?"
@Hamstrman
Licensing might get hairy, future prints might not include the Castlevania DLC.
It's also just nice to have a version that is prominently Castlevania themed.

I mean, I just want a version with the entire game on it. Could they seriously lose the right to publish their own game content? Wouldn't that require them to remove the DLC from the game entirely if they lose the right to publish it? I actually have no idea. Hearing they would lose the right at all has me confused.
@Hamstrman
Licensing has meant that entire games get pulled from digital storefronts, and licenses for distribution can expire.
It might mean that Motion Twin at a certain point in the future can no longer sell the Castlevania DLC, but can maintain it as part of their digital package for people who purchased it in a given time period.
Although, it's also possible that Motion Twin and Konami reached a license agreement that Castlevania content will be available forever without threat of expiration or retraction. The issue is these licensing agreements aren't known to the public.
It's just another reason why having physical copies of games is so important.
@RupeeClock - Licensed games and content are a huge reason physical media is important for gamers (or should be). As well as the reason a lot of good games never get revisited, such as the Batman Arkham series.
Licensing is a cautious, amd lengthy procedure the larger the companies are. Expect the same with Power Wash Simulator and others.
