Today’s post is a bit different than usual as I will through the beautiful physical Deluxe Edition of Moonstone Island for the Nintendo Switch. This post is not sponsored and I don’t get anything from the links I added here!
Moonstone Island is an indie creature collecting/life sim game released in 2023, developed by Studio Supersoft and published by Raw Fury. This limited physical edition was published by Super Rare games in November 2025 and started shipping in February – I received mine this month!
I paid £84 for the Deluxe Edition (including taxes and shipping), whereas the regular edition is priced at £31 (with taxes and shipping it would cost me £50). Worth calling out that the product ships from the UK, while I’m located in the EU – which made taxes and shipping pretty salty for me.
If you don’t know Super Rare Games, they are a publisher that create limited physical editions for indie games, not only for the Switch but also for PS5. Moonstone Island is their release #143 so they’ve done a lot of them since starting their business in 2018, for example: Human: Fall Flat (which was their first title!), A Short Hike, Lil Gator Game, Planet of Lana, Dungeons of Hinterberg and others.
But don’t you play only digital games?, you might be thinking now and you’d be correct, but:
I am now a Switch 2 owner, so it’s really cool to have the option of purchasing collector’s editions.
Could this be the beginning of my collector era?
Plus, I absolutely love Moonstone Island – I have around 100 hours on Steam! – and when I heard it was getting a physical release with a bunch of goodies, I decided to just go for it.
What comes in this Deluxe Edition
- Clamshell box
- Standard Nintendo Switch game with cartridge; Supported Languages: Japanese, English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Chinese
- Manual printed in color
- Exclusive sticker
- Alchemist Certification
- Trading card set including shiny cards
- Holographic spirit cards
- Fishbo shake charm/keychain
- Furniture Stickerbook
Is it worth it?
I think this was the perfect first collector edition for me. I found all the goodies to be very high quality and simply adorable. I loved that they thought of adding trading cards, considering this is a deckbuilder game, and the Fishbo keychain is so cute! I also loved supporting an indie game in this way.
The only thing that I wish they had baked in into the physical edition are the game’s cosmetic DLCs. As of now, there are about 7 DLCs with decoration items. It would have been a nice touch to have them included.

I took the picture above with the game running on my Switch 2, however the game is for the Switch.
Thank you for reading! I hope you enjoyed this different kind of post, I had a lot of fun taking the photos for it.
