PAX East 2025 News: Limited Run Clears the Air on Switch 2 Physical Games

Not quite!

The Terre Haute facility doesn’t do disc replication anymore, as far as I know. They’re just assembly and distribution. I’ve read speculation that Optical Media Manufacturing out of Indianapolis took over some of the relevant staff / equipment. Every PS5 disc I’ve spot-checked (first party...

They’re smaller and sparser but still show up to some extent (though I don’t think on a weekly basis). Over the past month or so, they’ve promoted AC: Shadows, Madden 25, Donkey Kong Country Returns, and a small number of games on sale. Lazily skimming through Bluesky posts with screenshots...

Beyond an excuse to charge an extra $10: (That’s what the comparison in this review says, anyway. Presumably the same is true on Xbox, but I only played it on a Series X and can’t speak for the XB1 experience.)

I’m in South Carolina, which apparently Amazon classifies as “Mid-Atlantic”. Who knew? But yeah, that message just means you’re in an ineligible region for a coupon.

Gotcha! I misremembered it being $49.99 for some dumb reason.

$43 at PnP Games, but I'm not sure what shipping to the US might look like.

It was briefly $39.99 at Best Buy a couple of weeks ago as part of a Deal of the Day, though that was quickly corrected to $49.99. I could definitely picture at least the $49.99 price resurfacing this month.

Same here!

Some of this is a reach. They're using a law from 1988 about video stores not being able to share rental information and applying it to video games, and retailers like GameStop, GameFly, Limited Run Games, and iam8bit are considered "video tape service providers" because they sell video games...

They're basically going against everyone in the industry, including Microsoft, Ubisoft, Nintendo, and GameFly, each with at-a-glance identical press releases. This has nothing to do with Limited Run specifically and may have nothing to do with Limited Run whatsoever.

It’s kind of funny that both Deadpool and Godzilla are going for so much when they were both at can’t-give-‘em-away prices for a while there. I picked up Deadpool for the Xbox One for $11.99 from Best Buy, and I remember Godzilla being on clearance at Target for $6. I thought about grabbing...

I'd really been enjoying it too. One special quality of the magazine format is feeling more compelled to read the whole thing cover to cover, unlike gaming blogs, message boards, yadda yadda where I'm generally clicking into things I know about and am already interested in. My attention seems...

I haven't played the original since it first came out, so my memories of it are pretty fuzzy. I remember the broad strokes -- pretty much what you said! -- but couldn't get super-specific with details about the way the gameplay feels or whatever. But improved camera, improved controls, an...

Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP was announced as a remake 2 years ago. Last October, Yoshimi Yasuda said that due to popular demand, it would be a remaster instead of a remake. That timeline doesn’t really make sense, but whatever. It’s 4K/60 now. They touched up Juliet’s model, as well as the...

So, with Embracer breaking up into several different companies, Limited Run will be under Freemode, which itself is under Middle-earth Enterprises and Friends.

GameStop had their own version of Limited Run with GameTrust, which put out a few games like Song of the Deep (Insomniac), Deformers (Ready at Dawn), Has-Been Heroes (Frozenbyte), and The Invisible Hours (Tequila Works), as well as teaming up with IndieBox to put out steelbook editions of PC...
