Steam/Indie games you wish had a physical release?

[hexen]

I've had a lot of trouble with the way games are going these days. With the advent of Steam, a lot more really interesting games have been coming out since individuals can really get their visions published without corporate meddling. However, by being Steam games, they are almost always without a physical release. I don't know if it's just me, but buying games without some physical incarnation feels awful to me. Recently I saw a video of Undertale and despite how gross it felt, I had to buy it to support it's creator (it's the greatest basically one-man game since Cave Story). Playing it just makes me wish I had a physical copy of it... along with a physical Cave Story (without gross edited music and graphics like the existing ones), Castle Crashers and so fourth. I'll probably never get a lot of the games I want in a physical box, but hey, at least Shovel Knight gets one soon...!

What games would you guys like to see physically released?

I'd like to see Runbow, Mutant Mudds, Mega Man 9 & 10 and Snoopy Flying Ace get physical releases in some shape or form.

I wish all the recent Shantae games had physical releases. Pirate's Curse for 3DS is actually getting a retail Japanese release soon.

It would be great if the upcoming Shantae: Half Genie Hero could be released on disc too.

Mega Man 9 & 10 are good choices as well.

I would love physical releases of these especially:

* A Housemarque collection - Super Stardust HD, Resogun & Dead Nation (Outland is published by Ubi Soft, so realistically it could never be in a collection with the others)
* Scott Pilgrim vs The World
* Rogue Legacy
* Hell Yeah! Wrath of the Dead Rabbit - I love this game more than I should.
* Dust: An Elysian Tail

There are many more, those are just off the top of my head.

* Rogue Legacy

Rouge Legacy actually got a physical release with IndieBox. I only found about it recently, and it gives some great games physical releases (Risk of Rain is the one I wanted, but alas, it's both sold out AND the most expensive one released). However, the random nature of it being a monthly box is a bit disappointing... you never know what will be added. Also, Undertale's creator apparently stated he wouldn't get Undertale on it, which makes me sad >.<

Tripwire Interactive games. They've become one of my favorite devs in the past few years.
edit: They do make physical releases but in a very limited production run.

Sorta. I didn't see any specific info about it on that page, but if I recall correctly the actual game was either a Steam key or on a thumb drive in that set.

Anyway, I should have specified that I was referring more to physical console releases since I don't game on or collect for PC.

Yeah, I understand. "Physical" copies that still require steam keys and stuff feel like somewhat of a hollow victory to me too... but I'd just get a anti-Steam crack and call it a win, it's the best I can often do. I also agree about valuing console games more because you don't have stuff like keys and the physical copy just plays the game.

Have you tried Killing Floor 2?

Basically any Wayforward IP.

Here's some off the top of my head.
-All of the new Shantae games.
-Aqua Kitty: Milk Mine Defender DX (PS4 & PS Vita)
-Astebreed (PC & PS4)
-Azure Striker Gunvolt (3DS)
-BattleBlock Theater (PC)
-Mighty Switch Force & Mighty Switch Force 2 (3DS)
-Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game (PS3)
-Starbound (PC)
-Surgeon Simulator: A&E Anniversary Edition (PS4)

Hopefully Limited Run Games will make physical editions of some of these eventually.

Child of Light is one high on my list as well as Costume quest 1&2.

Child of Light is one high on my list

There's a physical PS Vita version of the game that isn't just a download code in a box.

was just writing that so I'll add

Which honestly is a bit of a weird choice to have the only Physical version of a game on.

I hope Yooka Laylee will have a real physical release.
