Grim Fandango on Nintendo Switch With Feelies 15 Feb, 2022 / 8 comments

Behold, your Golden Train Ticket has arrived. No more wandering around for years as you pass through the land of the dead. Harkening back to the instant "Win Game" button of yesteryear comes this ticket, by way of iam8bit's Nintendo Switch version of Grim Fandango Remastered. But not just any release, but one that comes with feelies in the box, like the good old days. Now you can secure your very own Golden Train Ticket by bribing spending real money, just like characters in the game! And also, you can look as suave as Manny with your new Calavera Cafe matchbook -- but that is actually a notebook. Take down all of your game notes within it and soon you'll be remembering to dig through kitty litter with a magnet in no time.

Head on over to iam8bit's website to see what Manny has in store for you. I sure hope you've been a good person in your life. Otherwise... enjoy this walking stick.

    Well, looks like they are using my restoration of the GF mural on the cover.


    God. There'd better be a 'Thanks Jan' in there somewhere, man.


    Maybe I'm just becoming paranoid. Some parts, where my restoration differs from Peter Chan's original (since I didn't have a complete source back then), seem to match my version, but at the small size of those product shots I can't tell for sure.

    I own iam8bit's PS4 version of Grim Fandango... At the risk of lowering the resale value should I ever decide to put it on eBay -- I was very disappointed with it.

    I'm now just noticing that these are the same "feelies" they provided with the PS4 version of Grim Fandango Remastered, but that PS4 version has been out of stock for a year or so and the going price on eBay for that is about $150.

    Oh man. I don’t have a physical collectible edition of Grim Fandango despite running the excellent GRIMFANDANGO.NET. Just a tattered old manual.

    This is just the thing. Only a shame Switch boxes are so tiddly small.

    Sold!

    I'm a sucker for Limited Run Switch releases anyway. A Grim Switch Limited Run release is a dream come true for me.
