Renegade Kid is a studio that has been a very dependable supporter of the eShop, with games like Mutant Mudds and Xeodrifter periodically showing up and giving gamers solid slices of action that rarely disappoint. Though the studio seems to have a soft spot for retro games, releases like Moon Chronicles and the upcoming Dementium Remastered fulfill an older audience with more action oriented gameplay. All along the way, Renegade Kid's releases have been eShop only, but that may be set to change soon.
Jools Watsham – the studio lead – recently posted a tweet expressing interest in putting some games on store shelves. The studio doesn't have the means of publishing the games itself, however, and requires the help of a publisher to assist with distribution logistics. Here's the tweet:
While most of Renegade Kid's work wouldn't necessarily be lengthy enough to justify a full blown release, it sure would be awesome if there was eventually some sort of Renegade Kid Collection.
What do you think? Would you buy boxed editions of Renegade Kid games? Do you think the studio will find a publisher? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

Yes would rather have physical copy
Yes. Just do it and i will buy it.
I really want to know what on earth happened to season 2 of moon chronicles...
@A01 Seconded.
They really need to up their game regarding European releases. Moon Chronicles was promised to be released when the first season is done and it has been done ages ago!
A lot of eshop games are getting a physical release nowdays!
Yes please! I am so tired of waiting for "Xeodrifter" for Wii U in Euroland. I would very much welcome this 3DS compilation and why not even a Wii U boxed bundle. Come on out, brave publishers. Don't you want my moneys?
Yes Please!
This guy is so annoying. Dude, your games would sell if they were priced appropriately. And how about some diversity? When bringing Xeodrifter over did you not think, 'Hm, our other 2D sidescroller didn't sell well, maybe we should try one of our other style games?'
If your games were in the 'Under £2-3' section, then perhaps it would have been as successful as Gunman Clive. No one wants to pay £8 for a game that you will finish within an hour or two.
I would buy it day one for sure.
Just give me a release date for Super Challenge and Treasurenauts!
I bought the boxed versions of moon and the dementiums on ds just for the cartridge and box but intend on getting the 3D remakes aswell.
I would love a boxed collection.
So Renegade Kid wants to release physical versions of their games, while they're complain that the cost to even have them digitally in Europe is too high?
I would support this if it happens.
Get annoyed every single time I hear about renegade kid wanting to release this or that when we still don't have Moon Chronicles or their other games over in Europe.
I'm sad to hear my fellow gamers in Europe don't get access to Renegade Kid's games. I can see a Moon Chronicles/Dementium Remastered dual collection for retail. Having the sprite-based games with the 3D shooters wouldn't fit. I want Dementium Remastered when it comes out in the eshop. Would rather have news regarding that title.
I'm still waiting on Moon chrinicles for europe
I'm still waiting for Dementium II (classified but never released in Australia).

Yes I would definitely like too see these games come too the UK and Europe plus the States also as retail releases maybe Volume 1 could the 8 bit style games - Mutant Mudds super challenge n Xeodrifter maybe Treasurenauts aswell and Volume 2 could can be the more mature games like - Moon Chronicles n Dementium: The Ward or both Volumes together in one package.
I'm personally not a fan of this trend and really wish this was an option to begin with since I prefer physical releases, but it's great news to those who haven't already played games from Renegade Kid. I'm sure it'll be well worth the asking price.
I'm not going to purchase this as I've already purchased every single RK game at release ever since Dementium for the Nintendo DS. I have no need for a compilation cart also.
