Limited Run Games (producing physical copies of digital games)

Thanks. I had a good Thanksgiving, also decided to go back on what I said and didn't pick up any LRG that week, just picked up Fox and Forests and that one SNES remake, then picked up nine other games following up to and including Black Friday.

What do all suppose the upcoming "surprise" PS4 release is going to be?
I was hoping for Game Paradise, but they're saying "This is one of the most well-known games we have ever released."

all games, even physical ones, are digital, it's just 1's and 0's, whether stored on disc, rom chips, downloaded from the ether, analog games don't really exist. maybe Laseractive, but I only allow that possibility because laserDISC is analog (vs say CD or DVD that is all digital)

You're not wrong, but colloquially, video game releases these days are generally referred to as physical or digital. When a game has no physical release, it's referred to as "digital-only". I've never heard anyone refer to games without a physical release as "download games" or "download-only".

Some of the first video games were entirely analog. Tennis For Two for example

Well, the big mystery game turned out to be Jak and Daxter. The first batch of its CE is already sold out, but standard copies are still available. Same deal with Shantae and the Pirate's Curse for Switch. They're also selling Headlander for PS4 today.

Another surprise, last-minute announcement from LRG, but thank goodness, it's a totally open preorder this time. Starting at 10am Eastern today, they'll be selling Sigil for PC for the next two weeks. Even the CE version of it is an open preorder.

LRG is selling Windjammers for Switch today, in both standard and CE form, along with a bunch of merch, and Rain World for PS4. Today is also the last day for ordering the Switch version of Shantae and the Pirate's Curse.
