- Thread starter Nabbit

Im literally on Amazon seeing my options for a physical copy.
Whats the difference between the Standard and Multiverse editions?

Wow, this is really impressive! Especially seeing how some publishers have been acting here of late. Axiom Verge is a great game on its own ( I have it for PS4, Vita, and Switch) but this is just icing on the cake. See people greed isn't everything. I know they didn't want the game sold on this but damn they should be praised for bucking the norm and being great people.
Good on them, but it really sucks that the publisher even has to think about doing this. Why can't this country help take care of families like this without making them rely on charity?
Very good on them, I don't need any more Switch games but never hurts to give to a good cause. I'll pick this up.
Standard is just the game. Multiverse has a physical map, art book, soundtrack cd and some other stuff..
Buying this game on all platforms. I have a 2 year old son and this post almost brought me to tears. My kid also had a routine case of jaundice, but was treated properly, and he's fine now. My heart goes out to the developer and his family.
You're a good man.
I'm going to bare my ignorance, if you all will excuse me. I'd like to know whether the developer will end up getting more of my money if I purchase the game digitally from the eShop, or physically. I assume there are extra costs incurred with putting the game out physically that maybe he's eating, but those might be more than made up for by BadLands' kind gesture and contribution. I also know that the digital retailers typically take about 30% of the sale, is that right? So... Which sale is more advantageous for Happ?
Well, this give me an excuse to buy it on Switch, not that I needed one. Already have it on PS4 and PC.
I think you'll love it. The game's atmosphere is amazing and it's the best Metroidlike out there. In terms of having an alien world and capturing that feel of Metroid games, nothing really compares.
Standard will just get you a copy of the game while the multiverse edition nets you the game and some extra stuff to go with it. Like a 32 page art book, a poster, and a making of axiom verge documentary as well. If you get the switch version of axiom verge you will also get a cd for the game soundtrack with the documentary.
Oh wow, I have a little 1.5 years old baby, and just reading this touches my heart, definitely buying this game for switch.
Nice. I've been thinking about getting this for a while but this made me go in on the eShop and buy it.
Also, the download was really quick. I think it was a new record.

I just got my Switch copy in the mail earlier today. Glad part of my purchase is going to this cause.
Thanks for that. I literally just bought the Multiverse PS4 Physical edition on Amazon. Dat Switch tax, tho wtf.
Wow...this makes me want to double dip to support them. Great game and I have been eyeing it on Switch.
This is incredible. I don't have a Switch, but I'll be buying a retail copy just to support them.
It doesn't have to be Switch. The PS4 and Vita retail copies work as well.
It sadden me that he need money donated to pay his son's healthcare bill, for in Sweden he would have not have to pay that bill at all or as much as in america
But this could also mean that me made Axiom Vege for the love of his son and not for the fame he got, which just make him the world greatest father

I feel kinda bad for waiting for a sale. I'll grab it on the Switch when I have some spare funds and time for it.
Damn, even more glad I bought this day one now. Really good on the publisher here.
Still, it's insane to me that a child's healthcare needs to be paid for directly like this at all. America is such a bizarrely backwards country socially.

That's seriously awesome of them. I'll try to pick up a copy when I have more free time and cash on my hands
Heart warming and wonderful to see. More publishers could take a note of this. Some things are just more important in life. Kudos to the publisher.
Is this only on retail or digital? Wasn't particularly interested in the game but I'll happily grab it on Switch knowing this. Kudos to the publishers for doing this, pretty heartwarming.

Badland is publishing only the retail version, while the developer is self-publishing the digital edition. The retail version is available on Wii U, PS4, Vita, and Switch in North America, and will come to Europe next year.
Would be interested in finding out which version will end up getting the most funds going towards the dev's son's treatment. Obviously if they're self-publishing the digital version themselves, they'll get more percentage of the sale from that, but if 75% of the publisher's profit from the more expensive retail version + the devs share ends up with it getting more that way, i'd like to wait for that on Switch in Europe
