Limited Run Games (producing physical copies of digital games)

[Aussie2B]

Limited Run Games is starting to really pick up the pace now (much to the dismay of my wallet). They announced that Futuridium is going on sale May 9. 2000 copies for each platform (PS4 and Vita), $24.99 price point for either, different cover art for the two versions. And you can only order one of each platform version maximum.

And then they announced that they're also producing physical copies of Lost Sea (PS4), Rainbow Moon (PS4 and Vita), and Soldner-X 2 (Vita). Now time for me to run off and see what these games are like, but let's be real, I'll probably buy them regardless, haha. Edit: And the latter two will have all new trophy sets exclusive to the physical versions, and all of these will have full-color manuals (hopefully this will be a given for all future LRG releases?).

One for each platform...so that means I can get a PS4 and a Vita copy on the same order, right?

Yep, they're just eliminating the option to buy 3 or 4 copies (two of each platform version, or one of one and two of another). The plan had been to allow collectors to buy one that they could keep sealed and one that they could open for each platform (or to buy a duplicate copy for a friend or whatever the case), but I guess most people were just taking the opportunity to flip a copy or two on eBay. And with them selling out so fast, I imagine a lot of people who were unable to get a single copy of any version were irked to see people buying up four.

Really glad to see Soldner X2 getting a physical release through these guys. Its an excellent shoot em up game and one I can't wait to own physically (it can sit right alongside my physical copy of Darius for the Vita!).
They do really seem to be picking up the pace with all the new game announcements, I just hope I can manage to snag me a copy of each for my Vita collection/backlog!

I definitely did not expect Soldner-X2 to get a physical release. Definitely one to look out for, even though it's a shame that the first part is MIA (only on PS3).

I just realized that I might be in trouble. My brother is also interested in at least the Vita version of Oddworld, while I want both PS4 and Vita. I think I should contact LRG to see what they say just in case. Also, 5000 for the PS4 and 2500 for the Vita...there was THAT much demand for SMRPG?

I think you can order 2 of each version when the orders go live on Monday but you should be fine. Might be worth contacting them anyway as they are really quick to respond.

As for the PS4 versions - they sold out in an incredibly short space of time - Vita versions sold out slower for sure though which makes me sorta relieved at only collecting for Vita. Plus its Oddworld, so demand will naturally be greater than for SMRPG. Fingers crossed all goes well on Monday...

Incorrect. They are limiting it to one copy per person per platform this time.
