Choosing an edition: Separate the game, collector’s items, and store bonuses
The standard edition includes the game. The collector’s edition adds an art book, collectible cards, a steelbook, and a map; a bundle without the game is also available.

To play, make sure the bundle includes the game. Choose the game-free collector’s bundle only if you want the collectibles. Check physical cards, download codes, and retailer bonuses separately.
Retailer bonuses are not standard edition contents
The game is exclusive to Switch 2, and the physical edition uses a Switch 2 game card. The US physical release has no Chinese language support. Different stores may include different physical preorder bonuses. These are separate from choosing the standard or collector’s edition: choose the game and collectible bundle first, then compare retailer extras. Store bonuses are not included with every edition.

Check for a game card or download code before buying
The Japanese release also offers an option that supplies the game through digital redemption. Compared with the game-card bundle, one includes a physical card and the other does not, though both still provide a box. If the prices are the same and I want a physical copy, I would choose the card version, rather than open the box and discover the game is not in the format I wanted to collect.
