Glover Physical Edition For Nintendo Switch Restocked At Amazon

Glover, the 1998 3D platformer starring a glove with four fingers who likes to roll around on a colorful rubber ball, recently received a new physical edition for Nintendo Switch. Published by Limited Run Games, Glover initially sold out at Amazon when the retailer listed it a couple months back, but it's back in stock now for its normal $35 price. Glover has been sold out on Limited Run's storefront since last year, so you have another opportunity to revisit this bizarre platformer that tends to draw strong reactions due to its cumbersome controls and steep difficulty spikes.

Glover for Nintendo Switch

$35

The 3D platformer stars the eponymous magical glove, Glover, who is tasked with guiding various crystals (disguised as rubber balls) back to the castle after a massive explosion sent them flying throughout the kingdom. You’ll roll through 30 levels and six different worlds, each one featuring the same retro graphics as the original game.

Just like the original, there’s also a bunch of power-ups and weird characters to encounter during your journey. Despite its flaws Glover has become something of a cult classic over the years--so if you’re interested in checking out the Nintendo 64-era 3D. platformer and like to own physical games, snag a copy while you can.

Limited Run has noted that Glover is not a numbered release in the Limited Run Games Collection. Instead, the company is distributing Glover for QUbyte Classics. In other words, if you’re an avid collector of Limited Run games, missing out on this won’t ruin your collection.

Another way to play Glover on a modern console is with the Blaze Evercade Piko Collection 4. The collection includes 10 games (one of which is Glover) and can be played on Evercade Handheld, Evercade VS-R, Evercade EXP-R, Evercade Alpha, and Super Pocket. Beyond Glover, the $24 cartridge includes Street Racer, Risky Woods, Skuljagger, Star X, and more.

The Evercade EXP-R is frequently sold out, but it’s available for close to retail price at Amazon ($105, five bucks more than MSRP). Bundled with Tomb Raider, the handheld retro console is a great way to take classic games on the road with you. Alternatively, one of the four Super Pockets is a more affordable companion for Glover. Each one comes preloaded with its own set of games, including hits like Double Dragon, Asteroids, and River City Ransom.
