Can I change my platform preference to a physical copy?

We can’t offer that option, because WayForward will not have the ability to distribute physical copies.

Will the Physical Game's Soundtrack be the same as the soundtrack backers will be receiving?

No. Although many of the songs will be the same, the Backer CD includes backer-exclusive bonus music. Both discs are expected to look somewhat different as well.

Will there be a separate music CD you can purchase for SHGH?

Presently there are no plans for a separate music CD.

Will there be physical EU copies? Is it only in the US? Does this effect the EU release date for digital copies?

PQube is our wonderful EU publisher. They have provided a physical copy of Shantae: Half-Genie Hero on Switch and PS4. More information here.

Will there be an Xbox One physical release?

Currently we do not have any announcements regarding Xbox One retail.
