![]() ![]() Today, the bonus gifts usually come in the form of digital content, in-game outfits or some amount of in-game currency. There was a time when games came with pull-out maps, stickers, puzzles, music and other fun stuff. Last year, I wrote about how Cyberpunk 2077 was the first game in a long time to actually bring some extra swag with its normal physical edition. Limited Run Games later sent over both the art book and collector’s edition of Boyfriend Dungeon for us to check out. ![]() We posted our “Game Diary/Review” a few weeks ago. I originally received a review code for Boyfriend Dungeon on the Nintendo Switch from Kitfox Games. The Art of Boyfriend Dungeon & Collector’s Edition I’ve even come across a few other companies in recent years and hope to talk to some of them. I’ve always been a fan of iam8bit and their physical editions as well as their vinyl and other game-related products. I recently talked to the team at Mega Cat Studios, who publish and distribute as well as develop their own original games (which we’ll be sharing more about soon). Limited Run Games is not the only publisher/distributor out there. 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. ![]()
