Saturday Morning RPG mixed '80s nostalgia, tongue-in-cheek humour and accessible turn-based combat when it launched earlier this year, and it's now getting the physical treatment thanks to the good folks at Limited Run Games. Along with a standard physical edition (which will retail for $29.99 - that's about £22.50), the publisher is also planning to release a rather delectable Collector's Edition.
Priced at $69.99 (£52.50), you'll get a special steelbook, a double-sided poster and three card-backed figurines based on characters Marty Hall and Commander Hood. Oh, and there's even some scratch 'n' sniff stickers for good measure. Here's the full list below:
- Two carded and posable 3.75 inch action figures of Marty and his arch-nemesis, Commander Hood
- One double sided 18 x 24 inch poster featuring incredible art by Paul Mann and Eric Huang
- A cassette tape featuring music from Rocky IV and Transformers composer, Vince DiCola
- An official Nintendo Switch SteelBook® case
- One sheet of scratch n' sniff stickers
- Saturday Morning RPG for the Nintendo Switch with reversible cover art and a full-color manual (sealed in a standard Switch case).
Not bad eh? It goes on sale from this Friday from 3pm, and with only 2,500 units available, it's no doubt to sell like nostalgia-flavoured hot cakes. Will you be grabbing a copy? Share your thoughts on the news below...

Damn that's a nice edition. Definitely going all out to pick it up
All that guff and the game isn't even that good.
It's a mega edition, but my wallet can't keep up. Gone for all four of their collector's editions already...
I was interested...until I saw the price.
I’m waiting for super rare games to reveal their number 3 release
I’d love to get my hands on that cassette. Wish it transformed. If that’s a real picture, it looks to only have 10, maybe 15 minutes of music on it though. I still have a clear Memorex 90 minute cassette in the cellophane. Someday, I’ll make my last mixtape, my final masterpiece, for my daughter. It’s only fitting as I used a couple mixtapes to lure her mom into my trap. They were like a siren’s song, only sung by an ugly dude.
But, but the game... is lame.
I've lived Saturday mornings. You don't get to make some game with tired 80s/90s references and pretend it captures any of the charm of classic Saturday morning cartoons.
Personally, I'm content with having a complete collection of the standard versions LRG is producing. LRG's CEs really haven't impressed me.
Really nice edition except for the cassette tape. I've seen a few things lately doing this and it's just freaking obnoxious. I mean, I know there are definitely a few retro fans, but tapes are inherently one of the worst recording media. We liked them back in the day because we didn't have any other recordable medium, not because they were good.
@JasmineDragon - Plastic tape on a felt pad was the worst sound delivery medium ever. Wax cones sound better. I didn’t know they had become “cool/retro”, makes me like them less, but the fad will end soon enough. I don’t collect them to listen to them, unless they’re the only medium by which I can acquire something. It’s more for collecting/archiving. There’s a lot of punk and hip hop that originally or only exists on tape. My original Daniel Johnston tapes are some of the prizes of my collection. So yeah, terrible to listen to (though not much worse than digital), but great if you want to psychotically collect things and keep them in boxes.
pass... also the normal version...
Good things come to those who backlog... I'm just glad I'll have at least a shot at renting this thru GameFly.
The character with the green helmet has a really small hand...
Don't tell people about it. I want to ensure I get one.
I'm interested in this game and now I have a chance to buy it as physical. Is the game actually fun? I'm a fan of nostalgia but like Retro City Rampage, which is great, it should be replayable!
Nice, but not extra $20 nice...
Go ahead a whine because you want it but try to make others think your not wanting it. 69.99 is far cheaper then you would pay a Salper for - try 3x 69.99 is most likely what it will come out after Scalpers sell it. But now or pay more later that will be your own choice not the rest who makes the initial 69.99+tax purchase.
