RTG Update 2021 – #1

Editorials, News

It has sure been a while, hasn’t it? I haven’t written anything on here since April and haven’t done an update since last year, so it has definitely been some time. I had to take a break from games writing in general for a spell to tackle semester two of university and honestly, I missed it.

Tricky Towers: Collector’s Edition coming to Switch courtesy of Super Rare Games!

News

After several teases the past few days, Super Rare Games have announced today that their latest partnership will be with WeirdBeard to release Tricky Towers: Collector’s Edition physically on the Nintendo Switch.

There will only be 4,000 copies available worldwide and pre-orders will open for the game on Thursday May 28th for a paltry £32.40 (approx $33 USD/36.27€) exclusively through superraregames.com, which I think we can all agree is a bargain, especially because all 6 DLC packs for the game will be included on the cartridge.

I’d like to start with saying that this is not a paid article of any kind, I’m not receiving any monetary compensation, nor am I receiving products from Numskull Designs. I’m covering this because I personally love what Numskull Designs have done in the past and continue to do and to help out, in any way I can, one of the most pleasant guys in the industry. Got it? Right, onwards then.

This is not a paid advert. I’m covering this because I think it might be of interest to my readers, and I want to help out the newly employed social guy for the company (as he is awesome, follow him on Twitter here).

For those that don’t know, Numskull Designs have been making gaming-focused, officially licensed merchandise for a while, and it’s very likely that you have seen their products in your local game (they make those incredible PSOne retro game case coasters), on Amazon, and various other places.
