Thought I might recommend watching out for the recently announced
System Shock: Remastered now that Nightdive Studios have opened themselves to the possibility of handling a PS4 version. I was initially hopeful that a physical Xbox One version was being offered as a reward tier in the respective Kickstarter, but I realized it just covers the PC platform. Undoubtedly better than nothing for a small studio, of course, but it might be worth checking out if they manage to secure the Sony console before the fundraiser wraps completely.

Please make this happen, LRG! I would love to buy a physical version of REZ VR.
I actually pre-ordered the headset upon announcement believing this project would have a guaranteed retail release and here I am just learning otherwise. It felt almost like a certainty in respect to its legacy as a well-acclaimed cult-classic and the development team re-iterating their willingness to explore the PlayStation platform after the remaster was released a decade ago on last-generation. Heck, distribution plans for a number of PSVR launch titles seem pretty vague on the American front although I'm sure most of them will remain digital in contrast to the UK where even the lower-end stuff appears to be getting the shelf treatment. At least the high-definition port landed on disc for Xbox 360 in the
Qubed compilation assuming nothing ever comes out of this demand.
ROM got a release date today for PS4 and Vita, I wonder if we'll get the physical print this year.
It'd be nice if the physical copies [of Phantom Break] came with the Kurisu DLC on it.

Oddworld are asking whether people are interested in Stranger; Munch or both getting limited physical releases.
My wallet would be weeping with joy on the chance Limited Run can fit them into their line-up for the coming year. Slightly ironic that
Stranger's Wrath HD could be an option right when I bought the original version at a yard sale around the same time as
New 'n' Tasty happened with LRG.
If you've played 999, my advice would be to definitely go VLR's route, and then purchase Zero Time Dilemma which just released a few days ago
But Octodad is a short game so if you have an itch maybe go for it first
It takes a handful of hours to wrap up
Octodad so I'm already working on that. Made the harsh mistake of aiming for the ties in the first go-around which has been a frustrating process in an otherwise whimsical premise. I know with absolute certainty that
VLR will be the next game on my backlog list.

Hopefully Aksys does a physical version for this on Vita. If not, we're going to have to push really hard and knock some doors down to make it happen.
Hear, hear! I think Aksys will be able to handle at least a limited pressing for the handheld and, hopefully, the respective watches will be made available again for pre-order if they're able to go the extra mile. I know they completely botched the latest supplies according to all the fuss around the Net, but I'd be willing to wait it out since I've got the NDS version keeping me company. I fell madly in love with the visual novel and it's probably my favorite play-through this year over the latest releases of 2016. I really disliked that I missed out on the ol' pre-order bonus and I'd really appreciate getting a second chance at nabbing a watch if their claims about improved versions being made available come true.
Also I guess now the trilogy is over we might see a bundle down the line.
Aksys claimed
console ports were a possibility for the trilogy leading into the release of
Zero Time Dilemma, especially with the support for Steam laying out the high-def foundation. A tangible version that compiles the entire story would be a truly awesome feat, but I can't help thinking it's a bit of a pipe dream with the numerous amount of port time required to make it a reality. We're pretty blessed to have
999 making the leap to Vita and PC. Reaching home consoles would require them buckling down for
Virtue's Last Reward on computer and subsequently transitioning all three installments over once more for whichever game system(s) they choose.
