PixelJunk Monsters 2 Is The Next Indie Getting The Physical Treatment From Limited Run

I was a fan of Pixeljunk Monsters on PS3 back when it released, it was a fun little tower defense game with interesting graphics. It was $8. Not $40. Not $50. Not $60. EIGHT.

I'll pass for now. Probably pick it up cheap on PS4 later.

I am definitely interested in the game but don't see the need for a physical special edition version. I started to de-clutter a few years ago. If I saw physical version for good price I would also pick it up but will probably go digital here. Great game though!

I head the download is $15? I loved the original and the demo seems to be more of the same so I’ll be downloading if the UK price is under £15.

I wasn’t imagining this would be more than $20. I might get it for $15, because the original was a very fun little tower defense. But $40 and up are only for special games. There are still plenty of other games that I want in my collection more than this one.

I gave up trying to order from limitedrun years ago, so no.

Meh I prefer paying 20 on the eshop.

This sounds like one for the completionists.

@rjejr I kind of agree, but that was a long time ago, and Q-Games is a decent studio (it's founded by Dylan Cuthbert of Argonaut Software (Starfox, Starfox 2), and although all their own games are kind of budget titles they actually contract for first party work with Nintendo and Sony (they made the XMB for PS3 (for better or worse....), and the Star Fox 64 port for 3DS. Maybe 2 is a bit more meaty?

Otherwise, yeah, I agree, it was a cute little game in its day, but we're a decade past its day.

For collectors it is something they would want for everyday gamer maybe not so much. It's a choice you make here.

@NEStalgia I know it was a long time ago, and I know costs of everything go up, inflation, but the sequel for an $8 game, even 10 years later, should be $12 or $15, not $40 for the standard edition.

On PSN on PS4 it's only $15 standard, so that PS4 disc and box costs $25.

I can't even find it on the Nintendo website anywhere, it's like it doesn't even exist.

I loved Pixeljunk Eden on PS3 and played it to death with a friend of mine. It was a brilliant game and so i was looking forward for pixeljunk to bring a game to switch. But a tower defence? Not really interested....

Gimme Pixeljunk Shooter 1, 2, and a shiny new third game on one game card and we’ll talk.

Meh, someone needs to release a physical version of RXN -Raijin-.

WHERE IS SLIME SAN?

Aiming to keep my LRG switch collection complete but im not going collectors edition on this one.

@EmirParkreiner They need to release it again first (on the UK eShop.. still no clue why that was taken down.)

Not a fan of supporting Limited Run's stingy business practices, artificial limited stock to price gauge the customers. But will be picking this up digital on Thursday if we get it over here, for likely a much more reasonable price.

I can't wait to pick up all my favorite indie titlea.

@zufa86, It would be amazing if they would bring Eden to Nintendo Switch I put hours into that game also, what a great game.

I feel like there's a general misunderstanding about how Limited Run is treating their Switch releases. They are not pre-producing a set number of copies that, once sold out, are gone forever. Instead, they are taking preorders on Switch titles in a certain time window and will produce as many as they get preorders for. I think this has something to do with the fact that they have to have Nintendo manufacture the carts, instead of just being able to burn a Blu-ray. In any case, this is great for the consumer—anybody who wants a copy will be able to get a copy.
