Touhou remake physical edition announced for Switch on December 17
Shanghai Alice Reprise has confirmed a physical release of Touhou Koumakyou: New Classic – the Embodiment of Scarlet Devil for Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 on December 17. The decision follows significant fan requests, as the team originally did not plan to produce physical copies after the digital launch on September 9 across PlayStation 5, Switch, Switch 2, and Windows.
The package includes reversible cover art, character stickers, a booklet titled Marisa’s Guide to Resolving Anomalies, and a soundtrack player download code. It contains both the new remake and the original 2002 game via download code, allowing save data transfer from the classic version.
