Find it weird that an indie would've managed to get a deal out of Sony to be on PS + Extra/Premium on release day.

But oh we rejoice at this news. Absolutely charming from the first showing ! So glad we're getting it this year.
Being before the release of the new Zelda is also slightly advantageous because it's got itself a window to impress on people that week instead of being over shadowed by the bigger releases of the period.

Sonic Superstars launched just before Mario Wonders last year. That did not go well.

I hope for Plucky Squire to be a hit, but I think launching it just before Zelda will not do it any favors. It will depend on how it will be priced, but most people don't buy 2 full prized games within 10 days of each other. Both are charming bird eye view action adventure games.

Both Sonic and Plucky are multi platform sure, but saleswise the Switch is a natural home for both of them.

Again hope I'm wrong, but I think if they had the choice, better to put at least a month between them.
