Standard cards are almost ready to be printed, and the team at Limited Run Games is working on the proofs and approvals for all of the components. This collection is still expected during Q2 2023.
Tetris Effect: Connected (Collector’s Editions) – These Tetrimino-shaped treasures should be shipping very soon! All components are currently making their way through manufacturing and are estimated to arrive at the warehouse near the end of the quarter. Orders should be all set to ship in Q2 2023.
Glover – Everyone loves the Glove! In addition to the cartridges themselves, which are currently in manufacturing, Limited Run Games is finalizing the soundtrack and documentary. The game is targeting shipment in Q2 2023 and the Glover plush is almost ready to go! Standalone plush orders will be shipping shortly. Just look at how cute the Glove is!
CURRENT SHIPPING UPDATES
Zombies Ate My Neighbors & Ghoul Patrol – Julie and Zeke are on the way home to you! The cartridges are being packed up right now, and Collector’s Editions have just arrived at the shipping warehouse. You should be receiving visits from Julie and Zeke very soon so be on the lookout!
Mushihimesama | Arcade Cabinets & Collector’s Bundles – The Mushihimesama cabinet is designed to emulate a classic arcade cabinet, with your Switch acting as a vertical screen and your Joy-Con taking the spot of the controls. This cabinet is compatible with both the Standard and OLED model Switch.
The team is finishing all of the shipments this month so if you ordered one, expect to see it shortly.
LAST CHANCE GAMES TO ORDER
Dead Space Collector’s Editions – Dead Space puts players in the boots of Isaac Clarke, an everyman engineer on a routine mission to fix a gigantic mining starship, the USG Ishimura. But aboard the Ishimura, a living nightmare awaits. The ship’s crew has been slaughtered and infected, and Isaac’s girlfriend, Nicole, is missing somewhere on board. Alone and trapped, with only his engineering tools and skills, Isaac faces a battle for survival – not only against terrifying monsters called Necromorphs, but his own crumbling sanity. Collector’s Editions are available for PS5, Xbox X | S, and PC!
Spidersaurs – The nightmarish dinosaur-spider hybrids known as Spidersaurs have run amok and only you (and a friend in co-op mode) can stop them! Created by InGest Corp to provide the meat and muscle that humanity needs to end world hunger, the Spidersaurs are now on the loose, leaving it to two former taste-testers – officer-in-training Adrian and punk-rocker Victoria – to use their awesome firepower to overcome six stages of ferocious run-‘n’-gun action.
