Add 2 more "limited run publishers" to the mix...

Red Art Games out of France

and

Game Fairy

Are Game Fairy really "limited run publishers"?  They seem more like Soedesco, who create physical releases for indies and whose products are sold in retail stores.  For example, I've seen Darkest Dungeon in Australian retail stores.

GameFairy is indeed not in the nonsensical 'limited run'-business. Like Soedesco and so many other small publishers they sell their games via a normal retail route. However, not every game shows up on the German or British Amazon website.

GameFairy is actually Headup Games, a German developer/publisher. Their best known game is Bridge Constructor. If you like Bridge Contructor on physical disc...there you go.

You can directly buy from their website, their prices are reasonable. I bought just last week European only releases on physical disc, namely the two RPGs Trulon and Pixel Heroes, and additionally the Limbo-clone Toby. Unlike Limited Run, they combine easily shipping costs. No matter how many games you buy, the shipping from Germany to America is $4.

Darkest Dungeon indeed got an American release, so did The Inner World.

PS: Trulon and Pixel Heroes are not in the RFGen database, and Rad Rogers (published by THQ Nordic) is not in there, too.

The website of the new publisher 'Hard Copy Games' is up and running:

https://hardcopygames.com

It is an Australian publisher (director: Gary Lucas) which will relase smaller 'indie'-games on physical disc. Good news: Unlike Limited Run Games (which creates the online equivalent of a Black Friday sale with hundreds of customers lining up at store doors and open at a certain time to make it difficult to get games) they will sell their games with convenient two-week pre-orders.

Their first two games will be 'The Aquatic Adventure of the Last Human' and 'Elliot Quest.' (no release date announced yet)

Just a heads-up:

If you have trouble finding the Limited Edition of OWLBOY (and a lot of retailers are sold out), PlayAsia still has it for the PS4. The edition for the Switch is sold out.

I gave up on collecting LEs for my PS4 RPG-collection with very few exceptions (too many, too pricey plus ebay scalping), but for this non-RPG I made an exception. I like the Norwegian developer D-Pad of the Owlboy game which worked on this game for almost a decade, and I truly like the publisher Soedesco which puts indie games on physical disc and sells them via a regular retail route without the common rarity hype. Both deserve my money.

I'd put Owlboy on the same level as Shovel Knight, Limbo, Matterfall, Nex Machina, Axiom Verge, Brothers. A Tale of two Sons, The Sexy Brutale, What Remains of Edith Finch, Song of the Deep, and Lumo. Just a first-rate game.

Speaking of Soedesco, they just teased a LE for their release of 8-Bit Armies.

Looks like LRG is doing this too, at least for PS4.  There's some interesting replies here...

Fangamer is doing a Switch physical copy (CE and Standard) for Undertale.

[tactical_nuke]

Just a reminder Yooka-Laylee is coming out for Switch via Limited Run Games. They're opening preorders September 3rd 7th and ending them at the end of the month.

Also big time preordering the Undertale CE. It's a great game and the collector's edition isn't going to devalue any time soon.

Gone Home is getting an exclusive physical release on the Switch from iam8bit.
