D4NUK1 Posted September 14, 2020 Also, the classic edition it's TOP NOTCH. The N64 Cart looks really good . 3 Quote Share this post Link to post
Redneckerz Posted September 14, 2020 Limited Run is one of the greater efforts to come out of this console generation. I really love the philosophy behind it. 6 Quote Share this post Link to post

Chip Posted September 14, 2020 It sounds cool, but 55 bucks! The game you can download for 5 dollars, the posters you could print yourself for free, or at a place for like 10 cents. The booklet costs nothing, and the cartridge is cool, but is probably worth 3 dollars. I understand it if there was a statue of the Mother Demon, or extra content for the game, but it is just that. I already have the game on PS4, so I think I won't buy this. Maybe one day I'll order the cartridge on eBay, but that's it. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
Dark Pulse Posted September 14, 2020 Strongly considering getting it for my Switch, since it's literally the only legal way I could own a copy (since my Switch is jailbroken, so no eShop for me.) 0 Quote Share this post Link to post

If you truly think printing posters, printing a booklet and crafting a cartridge + the game is 5 bucks + 10 cents + nothing + probably worth 3 dollars then you have to reevaluate this point of view first and formost. What do you think the actual price of a new console is? Hint, its not 500 dollars. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post
Komenja Posted September 14, 2020 Oooh, book of Dev interviews, you say? Yeah, sure, I could use a fourth copy of D64! 3 Quote Share this post Link to post

Almost as if physical distribution is expensive or something and perhaps isn't only cost of materials. Also producing Switch carts costs far more than you seem to think it is.

I'm saying that instead of paying almost 60 bucks for a game and a few collectables, you could just download the game for 50 dollars less. The disc would obviously cost a bit to produce, but I'm saying I would rather spend 5 dollars instead of 50 for something very similar. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post

These releases from Limited Run are intended more for the collectors crowd. They're not supposed to be an ideal way of just acquiring a copy of a game. They're called Limited Run for crying out loud! 9 Quote Share this post Link to post
D4NUK1 Posted September 14, 2020 Yeah, and it's good for the people that want official artwork artwork, metal case, physical copy to play whatever whenever, and a nice Metal 64 Carttrige, it's better that pay 200$ on Ebay for a box of the game on N64 with the official manual and cartrige. And it's limited so you need to be sure if you really need it, or just enjoy the digital release. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post

Physical copies at this point are becoming less and less common. Collectors edition's are just something out of this world if you like to collect things and enjoy stuff from your favorite game. Limited Run Games does an amazing job at creating special editions, I would kill for one of their editions. This is another example of the great quality they offer, the collectors edition for the C&C remasterd, pure gold: Believe me, a collectors edition for 60$? Almost feels like stealing.

Chip Posted September 15, 2020 Yee. I'm not a collector, so I didn't really understand. Thanks for making things clearer @chemo and @Endless. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post
KainXavier Posted September 15, 2020 I looked through the Twitter feed, and I'm not seeing any mention of how much the regular edition will cost. Has this been announced anywhere? Also, @Edward850, does a retail release mean DOOM 64's getting another update? :) 0 Quote Share this post Link to post

Because every aspect of the package you mentioned costs far more than you seem to think it costs. 4 hours ago, LiT_gam3r said: Yee. I'm not a collector, so I didn't really understand.

Chip Posted September 15, 2020 Oh my god. How do people not understand what my comment was about? I was saying that the package is definitely worth 55 dollars. I'm not buying it because I already have the game, and there aren't enough collectables in there to intrigue me. I'm not saying that the package should be 10 dollars, which I thought was pretty obvious from my first comment. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
Immorpher Posted September 15, 2020 No worries @LiT_gam3r, I get what you were trying to say, you want to have even more Doom 64 stuff. :D 1 Quote Share this post Link to post
Pokemanic33 Posted September 15, 2020 I already have it on Steam so I probably won't be picking this up but if I decide I want it on Switch this is definitely the version I'd get. I feel like the only person my age that gives a shit about physical media so seeing the popularity of Limited Run makes me happy because they do real good shit. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post

None of your two posts actually says that, though. 1 hour ago, LiT_gam3r said: I'm not buying it because I already have the game, and there aren't enough collectables in there to intrigue me.

Your general gist i get however. Don't worry. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
