Super Rare Games are expanding their business with the arrival of the Super Rare Shorts label, which is just the first of several new additions under the SRG umbrella.
Shorts will see the release of video games available exclusively as physical editions for the Nintendo Switch, which means no Steam release, other platform release and even no Nintendo Switch digital release. These titles will only be available in this physical format, with full content on the cartridge, with cover art and luxury packaging.
The first title comes from developer Glass Revolver, but is still to be announced. This release and those that follow will be available via a month-long pre-order window, with 5,000 copies printed initially with any additional orders shipped roughly a month after the pre-order window permanently closes.
Multiple Shorts games are currently in development, but we're promised that there are going to be a variety of releases including from-the-ground-up originals, finished versions of promising prototypes and even definitive versions of promising titles that didn't get the love and attention they deserved during their initial release.
Super Rare have over the past three-and-a-half years, worked with over 50 developers in the hopes of boosting their profile, allowing indie developers a market that they wouldn't necessarily be afforded otherwise due to the structure of the gaming market industry.
It's going to be an incredible journey to see exactly how Super Rare Shorts begins and with which title, before watching them grow and expand in the years to come.
We'll also be keeping our eyes peeled for future label announcements from the Super Rare team.
