I heard about that. That's the cancelled Shantae GBA game that they recently went back and finished, correct?

Huh, I haven't heard of this, or even this site.

I'll have to bookmark the place and check in often. Shantae was never my thing but maybe I'll get that $60 edition just for love of the GBA.

Cool. I got the Game Boy port of DuckTales myself during 2006 and I think Mega Man II was the last regular GB game I got (1998) before that.

Not counting the Color games.

Yeah, Limited Run Games does physical releases and special editions of indie or older games.

They...don't exactly have the best reputation online. It can often takes months - in some case close to a year - before people get the games.

You can just subscribe and check the email to see if anything comes up that you're interested in.

It's mostly junk tbh but for some stupid ass reason this shit has insane resell value so a lot of people just buy everything they release.

They thrive on FOMO from physical collectors they have a grip on, since less and less gamers are buying physical. And their only competition is Strictly Limited which is scummy in its own ways, like selling incomplete game compilations then releasing a complete complication somewhere down the line.

Oh but the complete collection has a different LRG# so you don't really have a complete collection unless you have the entire incomplete collection too.

Well there was a three in one cart with Asteroids, Pong and Yars Revenge. Probably not the ideal way to play Pong, but I enjoyed Yars Revenge enough and think Asteroids alone is worth it if you can get a good deal.

It had a few but overall it was kind of a lackluster system. A lot of the best games on it are merely ok.

It's true. The games and often manuals are good quality, they often have fun extras like collectible cards and I've never had them fail to deliver a game

.... eventually.

It really can take nearly a year for delivery sometimes. It's partly explained in that they do these orders before they produce the games so they know how any copies to make and partly because afaik, they're just really really slow.

I'd also recommend doing research before you buy because they treat every game as equal; a fan favorite obscure title finally getting a physical release or a popular hot downloadable game getting one is treated with the same reverence and often the same amount of collector's editions as some old garbage game that's trash.

They release way more games than their model needs, and people might end up buying something not great or they don't need because of fomo.

I say, research and buy carefully and be aware it's going to take so long if it gets a normal retail release you'll be waiting longer this way and it can be decent.

Obviously one system with games is better than two systems with no games.

Hell yeah. It was an absolute gold mine with great games in almost every genre.

It's only of very few systems to house F-Zero, Kirby and Metroid, and the only one with multiples of each.

If you don't count collections, it has the largest Mega Man library.

It was the western world's introduction to Fire Emblem.

It had a ton of creative genre-changing 2D sequels to 3D games, too, like the Zone of the Enders game that was actually an SRPG, or the Kingdom Hearts game that was card-based.

Phoenix Wright got his start on the GBA.

You can probably tell at this point but this is actually my favorite library of any system ever, lol.
