Flash sale over at Signature Edition:
The update from yesterday now says that Vita physicals are cancelled completely with some possibility of a future Vita physical release if they can figure something out with their publisher.

The Outer Worlds to be a code in the box on Switch...

So, how many different companies are there now doing the limited physical releases thing? I'm losing track, for real. I know we've got:
- Limited Run Games
- Strictly Limited Games
- Super Rare Games
- iam8bit
- Signature Edition
And I saw there's a new one on the horizon called Physicality Games. Who else am I missing?

There's a few in France like Red Art and Warned collectors. 1st press games in Germany. VGNY outta NYC. B-side games in Japan.
There's also EastAsiaSoft, 1Print Games, and Hard Copy Games off the top of my head.
Edit: VGNY's games appear to be exclusive cover variants for PixelHeart.

you can request for them to stock it via their twitter and they'll probaby look into it, they've done it with a couple of asian games
or facebook. I frequently talk to the guy. I got them to stock no more heroes for PS4.
It's getting pretty silly. It feels like every other month there's another competitor joining the fray. I can't keep up with them all anymore.
I missed another one: First Press Games. And probably more! It is ridiculous at this point, no doubt.
Eh, I just resell if I don't like the game. Because they're limited they retain their value well enough. If I buy digitally then that's not an option. Granted I only buy what I'm interested in in the first place.
Well for what shipping costs from the majority of these companies to Canada, it's likely I may cut even if selling for a "profit", but it's just not worth it. I was actually doing that for a while, but stopped last year because it was just not worth the hassel for me anyways.

SLG confirmed to me that their version of Sisters Royale will be fully-patched and all DLC on cart/disc (both standard and collector edition) yes I'm still wary of these things since the Game Paradise fiasco.

finally got my PS4 copy of Ultracore today and it's a pretty good game but the free bonus thing they added because of the long delay is pretty laughable, i was expecting some sort of A4 sized art card thing but the thing i got looks pretty much like a cup coaster
it's also annoying that they haven't figured out how to do trays in the boxes yet so while the game was in a foam holder the 2 CD soundtracks were rattling around in the box

A few somewhat limited games have popped up on vgp.ca this morning.
Notably Azure Striker Gunvolt (2 pack) and SHMUP collection (Switch). They also have Dead or School and Wonderful 101 for PS4/Switch.

seems like there will be regular edition (not from iam8bit), because VGP just posted this
VGP sells iam8bit releases, it's not a separate publisher.
