They also usually release multiple versions of games from the disc or cartridge only version to the special, collector’s and ultimate edition of games. I’ve ordered everything from Game Boy Color to Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64 and current console titles from them. They have even brought back retro and retro-inspired games to both new and retro consoles. LRG publishes and distributes physical versions of many indie and digital-only titles.

Limited Run Games (LRG) is a premium publisher of physical games.

I even shared some of their recent projects in other posts - Limited Run: The Complete Run Vol 1 I’ve been a big fan of the games and products from Limited Run Games for quite some time. *Check out this article from last year, when I explored the Physical vs Digital phenomenon in more detail. Why do you think so many people create (and watch) “unboxing” videos on YouTube? There’s just something cool about opening boxed physical media. I guess I may be a bit of a collector (or I just enjoy buying stuff). When it comes to my favorite bands, I even go all out and pre-order special formats of new albums. At some point in life I will need a big house with many coffee tables to display all of these art books I have acquired over the years. I have always loved “The Art of” and “Making of” books. I’m also a fan of when my Blu-ray purchase brings a digital version for convenience - but I also like having that back up physical disc. Still, I do own many of my games digitally. The studio can, for any reason, decide to take a game away from everyone if they wish to. There’s something a little strange about not truly owning a digital version of a game and that sort of freaks me out a bit. I still collect most Marvel (MCU) and Pixar Blu-rays, and any time I’m excited for a big new game release I always check what physical versions will be available (if any). Even with most media and entertainment being available digitally (or streaming) these days, I’m still a big fan of physical versions and collector’s editions when it comes to games and movies.
