When you click this link, the very first result is a game google-translated as "Space Invaders Collection Famitsu DX Pack [Prime Day Limited] Game Software "*****" DLC delivery ā€» Amazon.co.jp Ebi Ten Limited bonus with ****".

Odd thing is, clicking the link gives you an error.

I believe it, they did bring a Darius collection to Switch in Japan after all.

Never, I guess. I mean, it's the only switch game (out of 1500+) so far which isn't even on the eshop (which isn't even legal afaik). So you can't even download the japanese version :(

i know, i'm kidding. i didn't know there was any game besides labo that isn't on the eshop, that's pretty weird. maybe it's some licensing issue where something can be sold physically and not digitally, like how puyo puyo tetris was on ps4.

It's not a Nintendo issue, Taito deliberately kept it off the eShop because they hadn't published a console game in quite a while and they wanted to do everything they could to ensure a good sell-through on the retail version.
