Following up on Thimbleweed Park, Limited Run Games has shared details about plans for its next physical releases on Switch. Mercenary Kings and Flinthook are up next, with pre-orders starting next week.
You’ll be able to reserve both games on Monday at 7 AM PT / 10 AM ET. A Tribute Treasure Box Edition will be offered for $89.99 – expect this to be very limited. If you’re interested in one or the other, they can be bought separately during a two week open pre-order at $29.99 each.

Mercenary Kings, Tribute Games’ side-scrolling shoot ’em up, never made its way to Wii U. A port to the console was ruled out in September 2013, several months before the game came out.
Could Mercenary Kings end up on Nintendo’s next core system though? Tribute Games co-founder Jean-Francois Major expressed interest in the possibility when conversing with one fan on Twitter.
He said:
@JGebicker@JoolsWatsham ill be happy to bring it to the NX. Just need to convince Nintendo now.— JF Major (@Jfmaj0r) April 2, 2016
Major did tell us back in 2013 that as former Game Boy Advance developers, Tribute Games “would love to go back on Nintendo consoles at some point.” Maybe that could happen with NX.
Thanks to Dry Bone Koopa for the tip.
