 [![Game Builder Garage – European Retail Release announced](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/game-builder-garage-european-retail-release-announced.jpeg "Game Builder Garage – European Retail Release announced")](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/game-builder-garage-european-retail-release-announced.jpeg)Nintendo of Europe announced a European retail release for Game Builder Garage on Nintendo Switch. Personally we already imported the US version…

Game Builder Garage will be available physically for Nintendo Switch in Europe starting September 10th 2021, over three months after its original digital launch in June.

**But why …**

It is not clear why the European physical release has been delayed for so long, especially since the North American retail version was already available.
