And all they're games are 100% exclusive physicals, unlike Limited Run where lately they get a bestbuy/retail store variant release for half the price and more content sometimes.
Limited Run did a physical release of The Messenger. My brother just sold his copy for like $200 bucks. he didn't even ask me if I wanted it first! The nerve.
limited run did not do a physical release. they had a special cover version of the special reserves release. I think it was the same price but didn't come with the extras. it wasn't a numbered release for them. Basically bought a cheaper version off special reserve then sold that at the same time. Limited run sold Special Reserve's product. They've done it for a couple companies. They were basically just a distributor for them.
I use to be all about Limited Run games years back because they were the only one around at the time, but it was always a crappy experience buying from them. Im still waiting on stuff I ordered over a year ago. And their owner I had always had seemed like an ahole to me when I saw him in interviews which turned me off more.
Same they used to be so good and now you are practically waiting forever for your stuff, it took a year for my copy of Castlevania and River City girls zero to arrive in the mail.
same story LOL, waiting for literally over a year for receiving my copy of No More Heroes, and looks like that will be my last purchase since they are blocking me on Twitter just for questioning about their controversy LOL
Stopped ordering these limited releases ages ago. Keeping track of what comes and goes in exhausting. Plus waiting forever to receive the game. Much of it is shovelware too
I used to like limited run but now getting your stuff takes forever! The last item I got from them was Castlevania lament classic edition I ordered it around December 2021 and it finally came ONE YEAR LATER. I think the best physical copy of a game I ordered was TMNT shredders revenge, but the version I bought is from a company called signature edition games bear collector's edition was very impressive 2:55 I bought the switch version and it's still on their website available if anyone wants one
yeah i think limited run got on the grift too hard to fast. selling more games and merch than they can reasonably handle. for me i rarely buy from them anymore. there are a few shady things they did (drastically changing the shantae statue, taking a physical release out of a preorder, seemingly informing no one of the change, then blaming customers for being upset). it's been a weird journey. i do want to say i doubt i'd have some of the releases (castlevania for example) without them though.
The most games that I have is from limited run games I just wish they had a faster developing time instead of us waiting 2 years to get your games. Great Topic Killing it.
Limited run always was limited. They just had batches of like 4000 or 2000 and eventually they started doing preorders. The first few games came with post cards and stickers
The way they threw one of their staff under the bus over a single twitter user being offended by that staff member looking forward to Hogwarts Legacy. Twitter user had to go back 6 years and dig up a random twitter post, before that person was employed at LTR. Heavy pass.
@@TheOneTrueBeard no, it's crappy, and quite possibly illegal depending on local laws. If I called your boss right now, said I heard you stole a lot of money from your last job, and they fired you for it, is that capitalism? Lol
Man that King of Fighters CE is legit gorgeous. Loved the discussion guys and yeah Red Art Games has quickly become one of my favorites as well makin me jump the pews.
I started with Limited Run for the PS Vita games. But I liked what Strictly Limited has to offer more. I think I only bought one game from Red Art and one from Super Rare. But I'm basically done with the limited prints of games and just try to find official releases that are worth it to me.
I think we should ask those companies like strictly limited game, art games and limited run and see if they would be willing to do a release of those titles. Personal growing up in the 1990’s I loved NBA Jam, NFL Blitz and SEGA’s Star Wars Trilogy. One I would really really would see release is Konami’s arcade of X-Men and Capcom’s Alien vs Predator.
My top 3 would be: 1) Super Rare Games, 2) Signature Edition Games and 3) Play Asia. Honorable Mentions: VgnySoft, Red Art Games, Special Reserve Games and Limited Run. Digital games that I want to be physical: Cyber-Shadow, Dust & Neon and Katana Zero.
It would be SLG (Strictly Limited Games), VGNY (Video Games New York), and I know that this company hasn't released anything "limited" in awhile, but I would have to go with Play Asia.
That giant poster of KOF 2002um looks amazing! I regret not buying that deluxe edition but, at that time I could only afford the collectors edition. Which is still amazing.
I'm more of a horror movie collector than videogames. But in horror movies they also do limited releases in the 1,000s or 100s as collector's editions but later on sometimes they release a regular edition. But these limited videogames are severely limited and they don't do a regular edition later. It sucks! Good topic and cool video Reggie!👉😃👈
Watermelon games and super fighter team were way ahead of their time. And they did an amazing job. PIKO interactive is the worst I've ever seen with horrendous customer service.
I just got Cannon Dancer from Strictly and was impressed how quickly I got it. I have over 60 games from Limited Run, but after the drama (and length of time it takes to get a order shipped to you) I’m kinda done. Either way great segment
I’m a fan of Super Rare. I get my games with in 2 weeks some times faster. I’ve ordered the most from Limited Run but I stoped ordering due to shipping times. I have a game going on 2 years and still waiting. Even the blind box’s have taken over 2 months. For game that are in stock. Sad.
Only used LRG except for ordering Pix N Love's Garou Collector's Edition. No complaints about Pix N Love, but its a small sample. LRG on the other hand I fell off for a few reasons; a) frustration that you'd miss out on "limited" releases, yet they still had copies for expos and brick & mortar stores b) quality control, mainly bent art cards from the way they are packed in the shock boxes; and c) I was mostly in it for the SNK fighters and they seemed to have moved on from those.
Steel Reserve! I always think of that, too. And I used to drink that beer ages ago to get nice and messed up real quick.😂 I have that SRG copy of The Messenger as well. SRG is my favorite. They haven’t released much, but I have 10 of their “reserve” editions and they are legit and only like $50.
I really like Red Art Games! Dissent prices, short waiting time for the game and interesting titles! I have made a mistake once and ordered from Super Rare Games and Limited Run Games! I have waited almost a whole year for the game to arrive! Never again!
@@TheOneTrueBeard because it's ridicules to wait something that you have paid for a whole year! Life is way too short for that and you don't even know what tomorrow will bring...
I do pick up a lot from LRG, but the wait can be pretty long sometimes. I've only ordered a few things from Strictly Limited, but the wait time was even longer and their packaging is always damaged and half open.
I’ve gotta check out some of these other publishers. I’m sick and tired of the six to eight month wait for a limited run games. Nice Joel cameo 😂. Imagine NBA JAM out with cross platform online play! Great video Reggie and KAG 👍
What I'd like physically on Switch is Shin Sekai: Into the Depths (capcom), Bionic Commando Rearmed 1 & 2(capcom), and Ghouls n Ghosts Resurrection(and capcom).
I never heard of signature games, gonna check that out! I was eyeballin The Eternal Castle on Hardcopygames lately. That game looks gorgeous with those old CGA graphics. I heard it’s not a long game, so possibly a bit expensive for a couple of hours gameplay….
Don’t buy from strictly limited games ! I’ve had multiple issues with them. 1) a few orders I’ve had to wait 2 years for. 2) I don’t trust a company in Germany to hold onto my money (for years) when they are having financial issues. 3) they advertise with promos like free games, and then actually don’t fulfill the order. False advertising is illegal. 4) I’ve had an order stuck in NY for over 2 weeks in a processing center, which is not normal. When I ask them they just “copy and paste” that’s normal. 5) if you demand a refund (they have to comply being in Germany) then it will be refunded to you in accordance to the exchange rate. So you’ll lose money if you decide to stop waiting for years for them to ship a game.
I really don’t like when they don’t give the option for just the game. I don’t wanna pay for coins, stickers, cd… i don’t care about that. Still i bought Project Blue and pre-ordered Sidney Hunter on firstpressgames, had to grab them!
I been watching your videos for quite some time and I notice how attached you’re to these limited game companies that make limited varieties of these games and it makes me want to buy some and they seem a lot cheaper than AAA games but I’ve been loving Hogwarts legacy God of War Ragnarok Elden Ring and such. I enjoy playing the best games out there but these indie games you talk about seem pretty cool to play
Reggie, you should check out the collectors edition for Sifu on the switch because there’s a pix’n love art book in there or more about the book going over the game and everything the developers and I didn’t know that was gonna be in there. Red art games is my #1 limited edition game choice! Bar none
I've preordered a physical copy of chained echoes from 1st press, released in July I think this year. Are they reliable? I'm just worried they won't send it, it cost a lot
Surprised Zelda BoTW isn’t in the top ten, but everyone prefers different games. I have about 160-180 hours I can’t remember in botw, great game and a quite addictive but not perfect. I think my second is skyward sword hd at 70 hours and Mario kart at 30.
I used to buy a lot of limited release games as I often like indie games more than AAA games. But I just feel most of the bigger companies are just completely obsessed with profit and are exploiting collectors more and more. Red Art Games has grown a lot and is putting quantity over quality these days. You look at the reviews and some of their releases are as low as 4/10. They also starting to use suspect marketing techniques. They tried to make one game only available if yoru bought blind boxes. But so many people complained they backed down. They still did blind boxes with the slight chance of getting a sold out game and they just released a game for valentines only. They are also re-releasing games as PS5 versions but usually no improvements. And Demon's Tier + didn't even have any bug fixes. These releases are just the PS4 version in a PS5 box as a lazy cash grab. All these suspect marketing techniques were all done by Limited Run first. And limited run has become the worst at exploiting collectors. Many of us have pre-ordered from limited run only to find out a regular retail release is coming and the retail release comes out first and is hugely cheaper. Limited run also sell games as individual releases such as Blaster Master Zero 1, 2 and 3. But the retail release is a compilation of all 3. Way Forward & Limited Run are exceptionally bad at exploiting fans. They release every game as an individual release, even the bad hand held one. And they then re -released the PS4 games in a PS5 box. They also charge you for the complete set slip case. There is no discount for buying the whole set and no free slip case for buying the whole set. There are 123 shantae products on the limited run store!!! Strictly limited are just painfully slow to manufacture anything, they announce one game in a series at a time with no warning that more are coming or that a retail relelase in coming. It felt like every few weeks they announced a new cotton game. I ended up with so many single orders that it cost me a fiortune in overseas postage and it's just terrible for the environment. Why not offer a bundle of every cotton game and one postage cost? Why not be kind to your customers and the planet? It is almost impossible to recommend any of the bigger limited release companies which is a really sad thing to say. The smaller companies seem to be the ones that actually care about the games they release and their customers.
I give it to Limited Run simply because they are basically the only one who it seems has a chance at OTHER platforms. 3DS eShop only titles getting physical releases is huge, and I wish they would do more of them.

Super Rare Games is my favorite because they are the only one who has shipped every game out right away since day 1 :)
Just a shame they don't have a bigger line up of games.
And all they're games are 100% exclusive physicals, unlike Limited Run where lately they get a bestbuy/retail store variant release for half the price and more content sometimes.
I really like super rare because of all the steel-books, and that is true that super rare does not take all year
Yeah agreed was shocked how quick they were.
I just got a 3 pack pre order I wonder how long that will take
Limited Run did a physical release of The Messenger. My brother just sold his copy for like $200 bucks. he didn't even ask me if I wanted it first! The nerve.
You should boycott your brother just like people tried to boycott limited run. Let him know you mean business!

Very true 👍
I dont really have a favorite but glad there are a lot of companies doing stuff like this
Limited is always a bad thing, never a good thing.
Watermelon games and super fighter team were way ahead of their time. And they did an amazing job. PIKO interactive is the worst I've ever seen with horrendous customer service.
Not Limited Fun
Pixin Luv is still my favorite. I bought 7 SNK games(6 collectors editions and 1 standard edition) from them.
I had a good experience with SLG when I ordered Deathsmiles. It came tad faster than I expected.
That Mortal Kombat Trilogy you have with Joel coming out on the pit fatality is the rarest of rare Mortal Kombats EVER!!! A real gem you have there! 😂
Interesting, I hadn't heard of most of these companies, gonna have to check them out

I’m with you on that

limuted run games is so dead
