#GamingNEWS Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution - Announcement Trailer - Nintendo Switch

Shantae is back! 

With a new old game! That's right, a scrapped GBA game, coming to GBA (first), then Switch, then the rest. With a classic pixelated Legacy design and more modern take with shiny art and an updated HUD (outside the GBA release).

This looks so fun! Can't wait!!

#Blog Scott Pilgrim Vs The Collector Edition!

#ScottPilgrimVsTheWorld

I just finally received the long-awaited Special Edition physical re-release of the cult classic Scott Pilgrim Vs The World game (for the Switch) from Limited Run Games!! 

And I gotta say, the wait was worth it. Pre-ordered basically a full year ago (January 2021!), this is beautiful! Easily the best looking SE I've ever saw if there ever was one, and just the same content-wise.

It's packed-filled with everything you'd expect a Collector Edition. Soundtrack (both CD and old school tape). Stickers. Posters. Art book/behind the scenes book. Collector box (Sega Mega Drive/Genesis-style). Color manual (SNES-style). Etc. What's missing? I don't even know what they could have added in there.

But instead the whole entire box is a freakin' awesome musical box (check out the video below).

The packaging:

The game:

And here's my entire Scott Pilgrim collection - all the original comics, the movie as well as the awesome Ramona limited figure that was available online for a while back then:

So much nostalgia for such a relatively recent comic book series. I loved this series by Bryan O'Malley, and I hope to see more from him someday.

#Blog Mega Man Wily War SE

 I finally received the re-release of Mega Man: Wily War. One of the rarest and most expensive Pal/Jap Mega Drive releases, which finally received a new print of cartridges last year by Retro Bit (and other limited physical releases companies).

I actually had a custom repro made a few years ago, but it feels good to have this "Special Edition", filled with bonus content. Check it out!

#Blog #NoMoreHeroes Collection from Pix'n Love+Limited Run

So I finally just received my copy #NoMoreHeroes3 from Pix'n Love.

It's a lovely collection that goes almost-well with Limited Run's re-releases of NMH 1 and 2.

Here's the content of the collector's edition.

Art artbook, some pics.. and that's basically all. No pin? No sticker? Not even the fantastic soundtrack??

And here's my entire No More Heroes collection.

 Now I kinda wish they could do the other Grasshopper Manufacture's title the same justice. They already did the Silver Case. Weren't there rumors about a Killer 7 port on the Switch as well as Flower, Sun and Rain's..?

#Blog #Doom Classic Collection from Limited Run

After half a year of patiently waiting for it - I know, there's a whole pandemic, etc. - but I waiting for a long time for this one. In the meantime I received the Limited Run Games-as well re-release of Doom 64 on Switch. The Doom helmet replica. (Still waiting for a physical release of Doom Eternal on Switch.. one can dream!)

But here it is. The beautiful old school PC-style collector's box. A much better collection than the half-digital one on PS4 or the messy BFG Edition from last gen.

With a ton of lovely goodies - specially one piece I have a few words to say below!

The traditional steelbook. A Red Key replica (?) A keychain. A modern day-reprint of a floppy disk - gonna take out my floppy disk reader just for that one! I have to check it out!

And the FRIGGIN' DOOM COMIC?!! YESSSS!!!

RIIIIIP AND TEAAAAR!! 

I suppose it's canon again now thanks to Doom Eternal's multiple references to it.

We almost have the complete (physical) Doom series on the Switch now!

COME ON, LIMITED RUN! Put it on a special bigger collector cartridge! And then you can put up a little boxset to collect all 4 games. Like you did with Shantae or Crysis!!

DO IT!!

And now let's go back to the main piece.

Let's be honest, I would have gotten this collection just for the reprint of the epic cult classic Doom comic!

It already was a rare piece, which most of us Doom fans read online on scans. GT Interactive never made much copies of it, back then.

And I already missed the first reprint when I missed the id Anthology, which annoyed me for years... (Containing modern CD physical copies of the Keen series as well!)

Now I had to grab this for this new reprint of the Rip And Tear-Classic.

And the colors and paper quality is great, so I'm super happy with it.

This is HUUUUUUGE!! Because it has HUUUUGE GUTS!!!

#Blog #MonkeyIsland Anthology Collection from Limited Run

So I recently received this beautiful collector Anthology Collection from Limited Run. The Monkey Island Anthology!

I remember pre-ordering this a whole full year ago.. but it was worth the wait. (Except for a little weird  error, more on that below..)

Yeah, so I already had the entire Monkey Island series on PC.. but now I got it twice!

Anyways, the collector is also a huge excuse to get all these little awesome goodies, long time fans will recognize all these references.

Numbered LRG edition, signed by Ron Gilbert!

This book is awesome, full of behind the scenes stuff and details!

They made the funny missing floppy for real?? Plus the content's also on the USB key.

I wasn't expecting much from this Guybrush figure, but he looks fantastic!

Best frame ever.

My only complaint? A weird error in the listing of the games on the side... I mean, didn't anyone check this before it went to print??

 And now, here's my entire Monkey Island collection:

Enjoy!
