It's really lovely, and it's nice to see some new artwork for the game!
The other cover, though, is pretty bad. I get that it's trying to mimic the Saturn CD case (and the title screen, in a way), but the whole design looks like some low-effort fan creation where they just yanked an 800x600 promo image off of Google, slapped it randomly over a Switch case template, and applied some "artistic" Gaussian blur. Even doing something that turns the case horizontally, like the Steelbook art (minus the weird and meaningless red lines) would be an improvement. I've never before wanted that "artwork subject to change" disclaimer to function as a hard promise.
Not that I think I actually want to deal with LRG's nonsense anymore, so it doesn't really concern me, but something about that design just hit me in a visceral way.
Live Wire had mentioned on their Twitter yesterday that there would be details about a Japanese physical edition coming later, but it seems like that's being handled by Superdeluxe, LRG's Japanese publishing arm. No word on whether this too will be subject to the same massive delays accompanying every LRG release, but it sets a bit of a grim precedent nonetheless.
