Digital Games that got Physical Releases 2 - Game Sack

[@BeeSee123]

I have been on a Game Sack marathon lately and there's something refreshing about watching a couple of likeable guys just talk about games. Add in some light banter, a bit of humor along with plenty of footage and information on the subject matter and you have a winner. Keep up the good work guys

[@BdR76]

5:53 You start the game off in at a *game developers office*. Also, the "SpecEye" and datacassettes are a nod to the ZX Spectrum, which had lots of these isometric games.

[@Hellwyck]

It's not that you're ignorant, it's more those games were a very "British" thing.

[@tetrisdave]

Thanks for taking that one for me. :)

[@takki3942]

Rare made a bunch of these for the ZX spectrum.

[@daHool2k5]

Collecting these ducks in lumo is optional and gives you only an achievement. With good timing and a little bit of training you can manage to jump off the ducks heads by pressing the button again right at the landing. Some of them are hard to get, cause the platforms you came with move or disappear after you step on them, but in general it's pretty manageable to get them all.

[@GazzJ82]

Rare were known as "Ultimate Play the Game" in the ZX Spectrum days or "Ashby Computers and Graphics" (ACG), notice the boxes in some rooms have ACG Ltd on the boxes. There are tons of other spectrum Isometric nods in this game too.

[@brandonpierce9868]

Sonic Mania being "digital only" is an absolute travesty!

[@GameSack]

Yeah but it has plenty of physical trinkets and whatnot for the collector's edition. Is it that easy to make toys and books and stuff but not a game disc?

[@B33FY2011]

Brandon Pierce Sonic Mania will follow the path of all supposed digital only releases and eventually if it sells good enough which I think it will sell quite well then it will end up getting a physical release. Whether or not it will be a limited run of copies is to be seen but going by how most of the digital only physical copies have been limited runs I'd be very surprised if Sonic Mania wasn't the same.

[@zanychelly]

Brandon Pierce Would they make money if it got a disc release? Better make like other games, release it digitally and if get enough success and a good reputation then release it on disc

[@ValensBellator]

dang it is? I was hoping we'd at least get it physical on the Switch. It's funny, while the tiny storage on the Switch is a negative, it has also lead to a lot of unexpected physical releases so, as far as I'm concerned, I kind of like it lol

[@TornadoCreator]

I've been wanting this game for years, but I refuse to buy digital. Physical release or nothing. Hell, I will buy a Switch for this game if it's the only system that gets a physical release.

[@tcrime]

Dave's face at the end.... Also, as much as the idea of "limited editions" etc. is fun, Limited Run has basically just become a scalper honeypot, sadly.

[@amerikaOnFire]

I spent weeks watching the Game Sack playlist from start to finish after finding this channel. This is the first episode I actually had to wait on and boy does it suck to wait...but well worth it! You guys are fantastic and I hope you are doing well!!

[@blueowl0708]

I'm on this journey myself, 6 years worth of videos to go!

[@ukkev7056]

Tips for the ducks in Lumo.......... All of the ducks are hidden in plain sight, and can be collected from the start. As the ducks are floating in deadly water, you must jump onto a duck and immediately off it to safety to pick it up. Pro tip: hold the jump.button down BEFORE landing on a duck to immediately bounce off it, with not fear of mistimed button presses! This also works for the various bubbles you have to bounce across in the game. The duck is 'safe' and classed as collected when you exit the screen by any means after picking it up. Usually his means just heading for the nearest door! As you play through the game you'll see the bright yellow ducks everywhere - although a collectible, they're not hidden unlike the cassette tapes.

[@tetrisdave]

Thank You for the tip. I always pushed the jump button right on or I'm guessing slightly after I landed on the duck.

[@mrrayner8457]

Your picture is on crooked

[@guiltygamerxrd]

The funny thing is he actually did jump on one in the video, I guess without realizing it but jumped back into the water.

[@NoMamaThe]

Double Dragon 4 needs a physical release. I can't remember if Hard Corps Uprising got a physical release, if not, then that one too for sure!

[@Supersayainpikmin]

I gotta admit, I'm finally glad someone has the same viewpoint of Limited Run Games.

[@Spicypuff]

SuperSaiyanPikmin Man limited run games is awesome. I just bought ray gigant, which is a game i've been wanting for awhile. Thanks to them, my vita collection can keep growing.

[@Supersayainpikmin]

I gotta admit, I do appreciate their intent, but so so far I only have one of their games because I either simply couldn't make it to my computer at the right time, or was just too slow.

[@Spicypuff]

Yea thats been a complaint amongst many since there is a limited supply people buy the game as soon as its out leading to them always being sold out like in about 10 munites or so. And it the fact that it can be 2 per customer is just not right as scalpers can use this to their advangtage.

[@Night-Jester]

These comments are golden :) Agreed

[@TornadoCreator]

It's all part of their business model. They have to make sure they make a profit. These small releases have to sell out in their entirety for them to make money because of the way these games maintain value. If there wasn't a small print run, the games wouldn't have collector value and there wouldn't be any reason to choose it over the digital version for most people. That said, these guys clearly love gaming and it's nice to have people who love gaming publishing games for a change I think. Remember it's not about denying people games just to be dicks. They have to gauge interest and plan out these sales (and considering they're a small group of about 6 people, that's not a bad system they've got). The way they get licencing is by ensuring a sell out release to the game developers. Sure, I'd like them to be more readily available as I've missed a few of their games, (while some others I intentionally missed because I wasn't interested in the game). But the ones I did get have been well done, and I can't complain really. They're exactly what I wanted at a decent price. Don't blame Limited Run for scalpers. Scalpers are horrible people who ruin loads of hobbies. LR try their best to limit it, while allowing just enough for people to buy the game and enjoy it. I can buy two which let's me buy one for myself and another as a gift for someone at birthdays/Christmas which is nice, but the limit means people can't buy the lot and monopolise eBay with them (which LR try to monitor and refuse to sell to people who they know are doing that). I think they're doing their best and I respect their business practice. It feels very genuine and reasonable, and I wish them a long and prosperous future.

[@coldshadow3480]

I agree with you Joe, LRG's business model seems anti-consumer. Normally I would be able to go and buy games months and even years after their first release, but can't do that with LRG unless you want to pay a scalper. Mondo Posters uses the same method as well and bots usually end up buying all the posters within the first 30 seconds before I can even checkout.

[@jazzygeofferz]

It'd be pretty cool to get a physical release of the ACA NeoGeo Classics they've been sticking on the XBone/PS4/Switch stores.

[@iwonderifthisislegal]

Damn you guys...I'm not done watching yet...but your show is so worth waiting for! Even though it's 11:20pm out here in Vegas....you have me up waiting for the newest episode like an addict lmao...damn you both😂

[@ohmanthatguy2443]

Only the dankest dungeons will do.

[@TehHeavy721]

About the rubber ducks in lumo: when you jump on the ducks, you get a small window of opportunity to get another jump to land back to safety. Maybe this was said already in another comment, but if it didn't, hope this helps.

[@HemingwayBTC]

You guys are the best show I never not finish an episode.

[@fernalz1]

Shantae half genie hero would be another amazing game to spotlight. Loved how you ended the episode with a brief shout out to it. Damn the music is catchy in that game. Another great video from Game Sack! Rock on!!!

[@UltimateGamerCC]

i hate digital only games, which i only hate them for the fact that they'll disappear forever without a physical release, leaving game memories to be limited or temporary.

[@CAPCOM784]

How will you play your digital versions when Xbox Live and PS Network are taken down and hard drive may become corrupted?

[@Swordslinger-hb1ns]

I just received the beloved Wonder Boy The Dragon's Trap limited edition for my PS4 today! Please discuss that game because it was released on a physical disc this August. By: (yes, you guessed it) none other then Limited Run Games. I just hope you include it in the third episode regarding this said subject.

[@Rawttweiler]

Cuphead. Have you guys ever played Dragons Crown? It's like Golden Axe but with some of the most gorgeous 2D graphics ever, huge campaign with deep skill trees, tons of weapons and armour for the many playable characters, and combat that can be as deep as Street Fighter 3 or as simple as Final Fight. If not it's on ps3 and had a physical release for $20.

[@moviemetalhead]

Corey Milne ~ Episode 137: Games We've Always Wanted to Talk About ~ Dragon's Crown

[@SotNist]

That game was always physical on PS3 and Vita.

[@Michirin9801]

New Game Sack video, I stop everything to watch it!

[@querpmuerp]

Don't forget to breathe!

[@Iamsamg911]

Ducks in Lumo: This is a really tough achievement, due to auto-save and no option to change save slots whilst playing. All of the ducks are hidden in plain sight, and can be collected from the start. As the ducks are floating in deadly water, you must jump onto a duck and immediately off it to safety to pick it up. Pro tip: hold the jump.button down BEFORE landing on a duck to immediately bounce off it, with not fear of mistimed button presses! This also works for the various bubbles you have to bounce across in the game. The duck is 'safe' and classed as collected when you exit the screen by any means after picking it up. Usually his means just heading for the nearest door! As you play through the game you'll see the bright yellow ducks everywhere - although a collectible, they're not hidden unlike the cassette tapes. The book, once collected very early on and accessible via the pause screen, keeps track of your collectibles.

[@cdgatto]

Killer Instinct is literally the only game I want an X1 for. KI was one of my favorite SNES games.

[@WickerMan73]

I just purchased the shantae game, digitally of course, what a gem of a game, thanks to the video I got a great game

[@mnoxide132]

It's Obvious to me that you guys put a ton of time and effort into your videos. I always learn something new and see some games that i haven't played in years. I super appreciate this channel, thanks for all of your hard work and keeping me entertained!

[@Ruudos]

Lumo reminds me a lot of Solstice on NES.

[@vizuz]

Looks like the exact same game, even the character model looks the same

[@monkeyboyjonathan42]

I thought the exact same thing. I'm interested.

[@bbarrett726]

I remember Solstice. Hard AF without cheat codes

[@NewAgeRed]

I was about to say the same thing. I'll have to look this one up.

[@brodi81]

TIL there are cheat codes for Solstice

[@brigannd]

I appreciate you guys speaking out about how Limited-Run games is basically a reseller frenzy and people who work for a living sometimes cannot just drop what they're doing to rush out and order something that sells out quickly. I really wish more KZbin channels used their influence to address issues in the collecting or hobbyist communities.

[@JTMaster]

James Osborne Well they DO make it available at 2 points of the day. One wave in the morning, and one in the evening. Both are 8 hours apart. If you cant find the time during any of those to order then that is just a personal problem for you. Some of their games have even been available for a whole day to purchase

[@brigannd]

That's still very anti-consumer, they sell out almost in 10 minutes in those two windows. Ray Giant is a great example, they try to play damage control and say "less than 1% end up on eBay" but literally a few hours later you have them tweet out to someone who said they couldn't buy it and had to resort to eBay. I think winning consumers over by supplying a healthy amount of product that will eventually sell is better than losing a sale to an eBay resller for double. Screw how limited it is, I want a chance to buy it and not have to drop what I'm doing and jump through hoops to throw money at them.

[@JTMaster]

The problem also is that they can only afford to print so many copies. They are still a small company ran by a few guys. They HAVE progressively making more and more copies available for each release. Their first release was one of their own games and it was only 1500 copies. Also some of their games have been available for almost a whole day before.

[@brigannd]

I could care less what it costs them, they run a business, that's on them, not me. If they can't meet the demand and have anti-consumer practices, it's not a product for me, I'll gladly go buy a digital version that costs me $5, I lose nothing in this scenario. If they want my money and other people's money they need to really up their production numbers, otherwise they'll go ignored, it's not that hard. It's a neat idea with poor execution.

[@JTMaster]

Ok sure hey go produce 30,000 copies of of a game which will cost you $150,000 and do so with only a $70,000 budget. Not really a feasable thing to do. Another reason to keep production numbers low is because if they print way too many and all the extra copies dont sell, then they lose out on a lot of money from producing too many copies

[@aussieguy1012]

These guys deserve more subs they are freaking hilarious.And didnt have to wait long so Im happy.

[@DiaperLTD]

I recently picked up the physical release for Super Meat Boy on PS4 and imported Dariusburst Chronicles for the Vita from Japan. I´ve always preferred physical games as it feels more like I actually own them and I can´t wait for Axiom Verge to come out on physical later this year.

[@HHog]

It took me a while to figure out the rubber ducks in Lumo as well, but it turns out you need to hold the jump button to bounce off of them.

[@CrashKunio]

Best way to spend a sunday morning is to watch a new episode from you guys :D

[@Ibl33dGr33n4Life]

buy a lot of games from Limited Run (I have like 12 or so), still waiting on my Skull Girls. I wish they'd up the print number. Seems like scalpers and collectors pounce on them so they can rub thier nips...... They seen to get off on how limited these games are and honestly it makes little sense to me to print such low quantities of there are plenty of people out there willing to buy them. I personally never feel like I really own a digital game, so having the case, disc, manual etc. is awesome

[@theconsolekiller7113]

Great to see more frequent uploads again. Keep it up !!

I don't know if anyone respond to that question, but for the rubber duck on lumo, your timing is really important. Try to jump on them smashing the button ! It's like a one frame jump.

[@jimmybisk]

Phew! What a marathon! I have just spent the last three weeks going through every single video you have put on You Tube. What a series! I thought I was a gamer but you have really opened my eyes to what good games are. In some cases you have caused me to question games I thought I liked & in other cases I have had another look at games which I never bothered with before. I find your channel incredibly educational. Through your uploads I have created a must play list! Keep up the great work & can't wait for your next upload!

[@AirknightTails]

Lumo I'm downloading now and Ori I'll pick up in the future. Thanks for the recommendations Game Sack :)

[@stingersplash]

Michael Taylor Lumo was part of ps plus last month, so please tell me you are on xb1!

[@AirknightTails]

stingersplash I'm on PS4. I'll just get Ori on Steam in the future

[@stingersplash]

***** ahh ok so did you get it on ps plus? Always good to purchase all games just in case. I dont have plans to play lumo but if i want to, i can.

[@AirknightTails]

My brother did for me, then I downloaded it on MY PS4

[@KeybladeBrett]

cool video. Happy Easter Game Sack!

[@loganjorgensen]

Some neat games. I'm not sure why Limited Run wants to make scalpers rich, guess they don't want the money. O_o??? 6000 copies, that's less than original Shantae GBC version of 20-25K.

[@JTMaster]

Logan Jorgensen The reason being that not only do they pay the developers most of the profit but also they pay all of the production costs to make the physical games. Since they are a small company with a small budget, they can only afford doing so many. And they cant do pre-orders cause they said every time they have tried it has caused A LOT of problems.

[@loganjorgensen]

Well that doesn't out rule 2nd or 3rd runs based on their existing system which I hope they do, this one time and done thing sucks in every case where it happens and on every platform.

[@JTMaster]

I think there was one game they did a 2nd run of. Im not sure. Might be thinking of a different company.

[@AnthonyFlack]

@@JTMaster it makes NO sense to save money by printing fewer copies when the demand is there, unless they were actually losing money on every copy.

[@EarthboundX]

"Dave can't read" LMAO!

[@nights1515]

You guys are killing it this episode. Seem a lot more smooth when talking, but then again I've been watching the older episodes where you guys sound stiff as a board.

[@rickylovesyou]

Limited run games lol, more like Scalpers Heaven Games.

[@mrweatherby]

Might have been mentioned, but to get the ducks in Lumo, you can jump again as soon as you touch them. I think they act as a solid platform for the moment before they're collected. At least this is if I'm remembering it correctly, so pfffff try it I guess!

[@xmaverickhunterkx]

I used to think this was one of the best shows in KZbin and ever but now I KNOW this IS the best show around :) Thanks for another great episode! cheers

[@nintendo64_lover6]

Dude you took a while to understand that this is the best channel?! How dare you!

[@VirtualVernon]

to collect ducks you have to jump on them and press jump again real fast to bounce off. Also there are hidden areas you can find if you climb over the walls, or jump off screen and stuff.

[@Aboveup]

Shantae games are in this weird place where I know they're great and yet I never get around to them. I own two of them, and it took me aged to finally play the first one. I'm glad I did play it though. Very solid platformers. I love those slowly rotating shots of the boxes.

[@ztoxtube]

That Lumo game looks awesome. Reminds me of one of my favorite NES games, Solstice. Props for putting yourself through another isometric game, Dave!

[@HyperTriggerEx]

There are also all those great digital games that never got a physical release and are no longer available from online digital stores. A couple that come or mind are After Burner Climax and Scott Pilgrim, such a shame.

[@AstonWildsteel]

Lumo reminds me a lot of the NES game Solstice, an isometric adventure starring a small-ish wizard. Cryptic at times, sometimes infuriating, sometimes REALLY infuriating. I loved it.

[@jrcmillard1985]

That kid who got transported into the computer in LUMO reminds me of TRON.

[@knoxyououtdotcom]

Yay, my first new Game Sack video since discovering it!

[@raydenlord]

I just bought Xeodrifter after seeing this episode. I think you misunderstood the weapon system. All the weapon effects stack on each other. So, a fully powered wave beam just makes your shot more wavey. For faster shots, add points to the first weapon type. Adding points to the second one will increase the damage of each shot. The third one increases the firing rate. The fourth one makes your gun have a bit of a scatter effect, shooting a little up or down each time. You can mix and match to create the weapon type you like the best. Basically, think of all the weapons as just one weapon that you're tweaking but by bit instead of as five separate guns.

[@raydenlord]

For example: Add 3 points to wave, 2 points to power, and 2 points to speed, and you'll have a faster, more powerful wave gun.

[@Zarrathoz]

Lumo reminds me of Solstice for the NES. I'm guessing that the developers were fans of that.

[@GazzJ82]

Lookup "Ultimate play the game" on the ZX Spectrum to see the influence.

[@Zarrathoz]

Thanks for the video suggestion :) It was enlightening.

[@GazzJ82]

Your welcome :)

[@pauljensen519]

Can't wait for the Wonderboy 3 remake. I've known the lead developer Omar Cornut (in the online sense) for almost 20 years, and we even got to have lunch together in Kyoto back when he was working on the PixelJunk games. He's a huge fan of the original game, and I know the game has been developed with a lot of tender loving care, so I'm really excited to play the final product.

[@The_Badcompany]

Ys. Origins, Ittle Dew 1&2, Double Dragon IV are all digital only titles that I would love to see get a physical copy of. I was really glad to see that Flinthook & Pang Adventures both got physical releases.

[@yyywww111]

Hell Yeah! Here are some games you might want to check out; "This is the Police" (PS4/XBONE) Deponia (PS4) Aragami (PS4) Wild Guns: Reloaded (PS4) Earth's Dawn (PS4) Dex (PS4) Republique (PS4) Prison Architect (PS4/XBONE)

[@troymeredith521]

So glad Killer Instinct was mentioned. It deserves the exposure as the game is just fantastic. I actually bought the Penny Arcade pins as they came out in their collector's book. I hope KI will get a new version later on AND revive some of the other dormant Rare Games (Battletoads being the most recent is fantastic...keep them coming).

[@sonothehedgehog]

these guy's voices are so relaxing to me lmao. I literally go to bed listening to there videos...that's not an insult haha but I guess it is pretty weird.

[@ravagingwolverine]

Some interesting games here I wasn't too familiar with and was happy to learn more about. I always get a kick out of seeing mundane, but interesting objects like cassettes rendered in 3D and just floating in the air like that. I liked the concept of the closing skit too. I enjoyed this episode as I always do. Thank you.

[@Boojakascha]

We all love multiple disc on spindles. Never ever a game got scratched by this. I wish all my games were on one big spindle.

[@madcowzz1]

My dudes, Hyper Light Drifter got great physical releases in the form of both a SNES cartridge and a very nice disc release for PS4 from iam8bit. They also brought over Rez Infinite in disc form for PS4

[@HyperTriggerEx]

I ordered HLD from them but they sent me Rez Infinite in error :( . Though I thought I'd keep it as it costs $10 more than HLD, I just reordered HLD. I just hope thy don't make the same error again.

[@DeadOnArrival45]

madcowzz1 the snes cart is blank. It doesn't play anything. It's only for decoration. When you buy that bundle they send a download code along with the blank snes cart.

[@madcowzz1]

You're correct, my bad for misleading. I guess I should have looked into it better before posting

[@hateeternalmaver]

Hey there, I'm a Game Sack fan from Germany! Just wanted to say thanks for all your great videos and the new one. THANKS! ;p keep it up guys

[@tetrisdave]

Hello Germany! Thanks for watching.

[@orionjones9868]

Game Sack Dave, no no, methinks you misunderstand. He's not "Germany", he's "from" Germany. Easy mistake to make though Dave, I'm guessing it must have been his accent.

[@ZBR_ProXP]

Hyper Light Drifter for PS4 on iam8bit! Incredible alternate cover (flip it inside out!)

[@TyKonzak]

Dave, I love your dog. Convince Joe to also get some dogs. (Also it's cool you own Zombie Vikings, we had a lot of fun making it.)

[@GameSack]

I played and reviewed Zombie Vikings for this episode, but it was put on the back burner as the episode became too Sony-centric. Very interesting game that gets better the further you get.

[@LuigiXHero]

You guys excited for the WonderBoy 3: The Dragon's Trap Remake in a few days?

[@GameSack]

YES!!!

[@QuestionBlockGaming]

Game Sack it's so crazy! you can generate a password in the new game and plug it into the classic game, and it'll let you pick up your progress from exactly where you were! backwards compatibility from 30 years in the future, lol

[@venares76]

Will it have a physical release?

[@StriderRyu7]

LuigiHero Just saw the trailer....and Wow! Looks beautiful...😳 Would definitely support a PC/Steam or Vita release.

[@StriderRyu7]

LuigiHero Thanks for that,man. Saw the full interview....When I saw the retro/HD swap,my mouth just dropped!👀 Those guys are really passionate of delivering a great product.Yep....Definitely opening the wallet for these dudes.

[@kakashi101able]

Gamesack, have you two ever played on a magnavox odyssey 1972 before?

[@windostar2622]

Sadly, that console is probably to old for gamesack to review.. :/

[@kakashi101able]

windostar True

[@hamtaro126]

Haven't you ever played (or even heard of) a game named "Solstice" on the NES? That was the inspiration for "LUMO" because that game is a successor of sorts!

[@Booruvcheek]

I'm not the biggest fan of digital downloads, because, as you have mentioned - you've got to be connected to the internet to play and DRM servers can be overloaded or offline or even support for your game may be eventually dropped, but here's a rare exception to all this. I've bought Shantae and the Pirate's Curse from Good Old Games, and since they don't use DRM at all, I can just keep the installation package on my hard drive, USB drive, or even burn myself a nice physical DVD, complete with majestic artwork, all drawn with a marker by me!

[@Killacaleb2]

the end caps are always soooo funny, great work!

[@Deathkicker666]

I want a physical copy of afterburner climax

[@AnthonyFlack]

Or any copy at all, since it's been delisted. Too bad, I'll never get to play it now.

[@SelfmadeIsland]

Best show on KZbin. Thank you guys!

[@querpmuerp]

Yeah, one of my favorites too. Watching GS on sunday morning here in germany reminds me of watching children cartoons on sunday mornings 25 year ago :)

[@FabrizioZavagli]

So I'm not the only one who doesn't understand Seasons in video games! :) Thanks for another excellent vid!

[@elgigante2001]

Great episode as always guys, but I think maybe you focused to much on games done through Limited Run Games. There are still great games that are getting physical copys that are not through LRG. For example "This is the Police," as far as I know this was a game that was only available through Steam as a digital game, but now there is a physical version for PS4.

[@aliasisudonomo]

Good episode, although don't forget there's another option: DRM-free digital. You don't need the internet for *that*, either, once you download the installer...

[@paul-yy5qf]

also agree about how there needs to be games out there where you can enjoy the experience even if its only 20 minutes long. so many games focus on hours and hours of gameplay, but there is nothing wrong with a short arcadey fun game!

[@GamerMomma2]

Lumo reminds me of Solstice on nes. And this video was an awesome Easter treat!

[@tetrisdave]

Happy Easter!

[@shaunrice9077]

I think their should be physical releases of Rogue Legacy, Thomas was Alone, and Castle Crashers. The first 2 were available on PS3 and PS4. Where castle Crashers was on PS3.

[@Dopamine9481]

Nice I was wondering when a new upload was coming from you guys. Always looking forward to it.

[@MrThunderwing]

Wow, that Shantae game looks great. I'm a huge Wonderboy fan and this looks like a huge love letter to that series.

[@blake3120]

Always brightens the day to see more GAME SACK!

[@korohacker]

I finally got Ori and the Blind Forest when it went for sale in Steam recently, using the money for several lunches. One of the best gaming decisions ever. Funnily, the reason I even got the game is because I remembered this episode and Joe liking the game a lot. Crazy how this episode is 1 year old, it seems like only 2 months ago xD I don't have a gaming console yet, but I hope to someday, so that I can buy that game again

[@ScottX68000]

Resogun is a game which should have a physical release, amazing shooter. For the best experience you need the DLC with the survival mode, ive lost so many hours trying to beat my high score. I hope you guys cover it one day as I feel lots of people haven't tried it.

[@PureConsoleGamers]

Games that I really want to have physical releases of are Dust an Elysian Tail and Tembo the Badass Elephant! -George Arthur

[@Allerdyne]

Lumo looks like an updated version of that old game, Solstice.

[@Wyrdwad]

Games that got a physical release that you should try out? OWLBOY!! Owlboy is RIDICULOUSLY GOOD. It's PC only, but the PC version actually got a physical release close to launch via Indiebox, and it's really nice! Comes with a soundtrack CD (which you definitely want, because that game's soundtrack is exceptional) and a full-color manual with cute little quips from one of the game's characters on the bottom of every single page. And like I said, the game itself is ridiculously good. One of the best indie titles I've ever played. I keep joking with my coworkers that I bought both Owlboy and Final Fantasy XV very near one another, and I quickly realized that Owlboy has the better story and characters -- which it really does. It's very dark and surprisingly serious, with a lot of really intense, almost cinematic moments to it that are enhanced by beautifully timed orchestra hits and such from the soundtrack. Absolutely stellar game.

[@g1nobleteam]

Wyrdwad more surprised that game hasn't gotten a console edition by now (digital or physical).

[@Wyrdwad]

No kidding! I'd snatch up a console release of Owlboy in a second. I can't stress enough how much I loved that game.

[@JimPlaysGames]

Yeah but these guys exist in a parallel universe where there are no PC games. I mean why else would they never ever mention a platform with more games than any other? WHY?!

completely agree about limited run and how this sometimes hurts the gaming community more than it helps!

"Seasons and videogames make no sense!" Indeed, I'm an old school gamer and i hate all that stuff of keep buying stages and chars and even game modes, i always wait for the complete edition of the game that i want, no matter if it's digital or not, i just need the entire game

In the isometric game those knuckle heads don't know you can jump again after collecting the duck.

I recently got a physical copy of Hyper Light Drifter on PS4. That one is limited to 9,000 copies.

Ah yes, Shantae and the Pirates Curse. I literally got up early in the morning to get me a copy. Sure I already had it digitally on the Wii U, but there's just something about being able to hold your games.

One of the first games I bought for the Nintendo Switch was Blaster Master Zero. I would love that game to have a physical release.

I couldn't be happier with your coverage of Killer Instinct. Great video!

Stardew Valley got a physical release recently and comes with a mini guide and a map, not sure of any other indie digital titles getting a physical release soon though. Currently waiting to start playing the Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap remake, just less than 48 hours to go. Hope it's worth it

Man physical copies are awesome. Even more so when its a game that was released digital first like blood dragon. Not to mention they help make your game collection look even nicer.

I love Game Sack, I watch it on repeat + shuffle all day long.

Toy Soldiers War Chest. I enjoyed the first 2 Toy Soldiers games which were download only, then I bought the third one from the xbox marketplace for $30. Later that week I saw it on the shelf at Walmart for $20. I didn't think there was a physical release, so I say damn!

It's really cool that a lot of digital indie games are getting physical releases on the PS4. They're just nice to own if you're a collector and they're usually pretty cheap. People are re-selling the Limited Run games on Ebay for over £100 though so y'know, fuck that noise.

[@jakublulek3261]

Shantae and the Pirate's Curse was released on cartridge/disc? I didn't know that, mainly because physical versions weren't released in continental Europe, because apparently are still '90s and regional differences are still a thing. 3DS version weirdly is for me superior, smaller screen works really good with pixel graphics and game itself is still very true to it's GameBoy roots.

[@TheBacklogOdyssey]

I absolutely love the Shantae series and I'm glad that Limited Run released a physical copies. I do agree though that it's a shame they are released in such limited quantities. I was lucky enough to get Pirate's Curse but missed out on Risky's Revenge and it's really a shame, especially with the ebay prices right now.

Axiom Verge is one of the best indie games out there and it will get a limited physical release soon

[@Mar-O899]

Oh that's cool, I didn't hear about that. On Wii U even, I see.

[@countD8852]

Lumo looks like a modern take on older ZX Spectrum games like Batman or Pentagram. Anyway, I think the Nintendo Switch would be a great place for a physical version of a Rusty Lake collection. Rusty Lake make the Cube Escape series which are a bunch of weird, kinda morbid puzzle adventure game...well, puzzle escape-the-room games but they're really charming despite being morbid. Recent Cube Escape games would include Roots and The Cave but this is a pretty huge system on Android and iOS.

Awesome video guys! A digital game that got a physical release that i recently got is Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition. Some that i want that fortunately eventually got a physical release are Asterbreed, Hyperlight Drifter and Slain. I hope Axiom Verge eventually gets one too.
