I don’t know who asked for some of these but…
Yesterday, Limited Run Games held its annual summer showcase, which was produced by the folk at Mega64 and revealed the boutique retailer’s upcoming catalog of physical releases. On the agenda were a wide variety of new and old releases, all of which will be making the leap from the digital archives to a whole new world of shelf-filling plastic.
There were familiar brands and IPs such as Shantae, Blade Runner, Doom, Tetris, and Star Wars lined up alongside radical ’80s/’90s franchises such as TMNT, Bill & Ted, Shadowrun, and even the classic horror adventure, D. Oh, and that PS5 port of Night Trap we all wanted is finally on the way, because that’s what we bought that $500 console for. Right?
There was simply too much on offer to break down on an individual basis, so I’ve painstakingly recreated the entire lineup in the list below, complete with platforms and dates. Please be aware that some of these are simple physical releases, while others will be getting the full Collector’s Edition treatment. You’d be better off visiting the official Limited Run Games online catalog for full details on any specific titles that pique your interest. Finally, all titles are expected to open pre-orders between now and the end of 2023.
Right, ain’t nothing to it but to do it.
