Physical copy and game-key card in Grand Gourmet
Checked . Sources are listed at the bottom.
Checked 2026-10-27: Game8’s tax-inclusive edition table and How To Video Game’s pre-tax table agree on Japanese package and bundle prices. The precise Switch 2 card format remains unverified.
Japan: edition and platform distinctions
Checked 2026-10-27. Game8 prints tax-inclusive Japanese prices; How To Video Game prints their tax-exclusive equivalents. Both reports agree on the amounts after that distinction. The standard physical package is for Switch 2. Special bundles also list Switch and Steam; a box for those platforms is not evidence of a Switch cartridge.
| Edition | Platforms reported | Japan price |
|---|---|---|
| Standard physical package | Switch 2 | ¥3,960 incl. tax / ¥3,600 before tax |
| Special Edition | Switch 2, Switch, Steam | ¥9,900 incl. tax / ¥9,000 before tax |
| Super Special Edition | Switch 2, Switch, Steam | ¥15,400 incl. tax / ¥14,000 before tax |
Card format, bonuses, and regional limits
How To Video Game calls the Japanese Switch 2 package a game card and describes original Switch as download-only. The exact full-data-card versus game-key-card format was not independently established by an accessible product specification, so that distinction remains unspecified. The first-print 100-character sticker bonus is reported by How To Video Game only in this check.
No current US physical retail price was established in the checked sources. The US publisher page lists a Digital Standard Edition. A section heading mentioning editions or DLC is not enough to infer either paid DLC or the absence of DLC.
