Limited Run Games' Night Trap Collector's Edition Is Open For Pre-Order

Preorder available this Friday, not available right now.

Normal version on this one. Available on friday indeed, and for a limited time.

Make Sewer Shark for the Switch already whoever owns that

Nah, I'll wait for it to be on eShop.

Is this going to be available in retail stores? Or do you have to preorder in order to secure a copy of the game? I don't care about all that fancy stuff it comes with. Just want to play the game....physically. Don't want digital from eShop.

@bezerker99 There will be a copy on eShop if you only want the game. There's also standard edition from LRG, but you have to preorder it. https://limitedrungames.com/products/switch-limited-run-8-night-trap-preorder

@HobbitGamer : he said "physically" !

I'm with others on this, and will just be grabbing the eShop release. While all those things are very neat for a collector, I can't justify $70 on this game. Especially considering I've already gotten a perfect ending back in the day. (I'm even holding off on Flashback's $20 price)

@gurtifus That's correct, he did.

@bezerker99 This is published physically by Limited Run Games, meaning that the only copies out there will be the ones for pre-order. You won't find it anywhere else (besides eBay at a markup)

I kind of want the collector's edition lol but I spent enough this past week with Crash, Wolfenstein, Nes and Snes mini so I might have to pass 😑.

Three different boxes for one cart? I like physical releases, but this much pointless tat is, well... pointless.

@DTfeartheBEARD Ugh, that's another big part of my physical pass. Still reeling from Aces and other life items. Oct, Nov, Dec are shot, too

...Except it isn't

What can you do with this VHS ? Even if you have the player, lifespan of VHS is really short so you couldn't watch it a few years later !

I’ll get the standard edition Friday. That’ll do me nicely

@gurtifus I have VHS tapes that are 20+ years old and they work.

@HobbitGamer Oh yeah Aces also from the previous week haha. I agree, the rest of the year is packed with games I'm looking forward to. R.I.P. my wallet.

Traps, indeed

"Night Trap Collector's Edition Is Open For Pre-Order"

"Pre-orders launch on 6th July."

Jeez...

@HobbitGamer @ninboy @gurtifus Thanks for the responses! I was wondering why I've never seen a Limited Run published Switch game on my store shelf. I'll have to pass if the only way to get a physical copy is directly from them. If i get desperate enough to play this crap game I'll just download it from the eshop.

@bezerker99 Pretty much. With the physical standard copy being $29.99, it seems like I'll be passing on the eShop version for awhile, too. It's a fun game for a bit, but not $30 fun. Late Shift is better quality for the high-end price.

If you want a cheaper classic, I just saw that Another World is only $9.99 on the NA eShop.

@HobbitGamer As an owner of a SEGA CD - I've def played my fair share of Night Trap in the past. I was amazed to see how clear and polished up this version is and wanted to get it purely for nostalgia reasons! Actually, $29.99 isn't bad. I was expecting it to be $50 or $60.......

Day 1...I know a lot of people think it’s a bad game but I always enjoyed and still enjoy the game from the very first day I booted it up on my Sega CD!! Love trapping those vampires!!! 😁
Now Bring on Ground Zero Texas and Prize Fighter!!!

@bezerker99 I had a CD, too Fun times. I definitely expected this price, I just can't justify it to myself right now haha.

The extras are pretty cool, but as someone who owns the original Sega CD version of this game I can confirm how it isn't much of a game. You are better off just watching it on youtube.

How long is the actual gameplay of this game?

@gurtifus I'm not sure where you got that information from, but all my VHS tapes from the Nineties are perfectly viewable.

Wonder if Night Trap VHS will have deleted scenes ? Lol
Ground Zero Texas with Joycon pointer controls would be good. Shame it wasn’t a light gun game back in the day.
Would love it if Sewer Shark got a re-release

Picking this up day one. Glad it has a reversible cover, definitly would be akward for family members to see the other one...

It is a trap indeed. Heh, Heh, Heh.

I never, ever thought I'd actually see a preorder for a new.....VHS cassette. It's both wonderful and distressing.

@gurtifus VHS tapes, and mag tapes in general last plenty long in storage. It's frequent use that annihilates them due to the tension across the tape from spool to spool.

Not open for preorder - the preorder pages are up but - but it is NOT OPEN. Edit your article header - there is a standard edition as well as the $70 one.

Getting the standard edition. Whenever I can get something physical, I do. I have a micro sd card but I'm not gonna buy another one so I conserve space whenever I can

Thinking about grabbing this. I'm a sucker for campy garbage horror (Shudder is the best streaming service) and this "game" is just wild and a product of its time. It could be cool to own a copy for Switch.

Preordering the switch standard version this friday! 😀

I want to try Night Trap out of curiosity really but am only going to grab it digitally in a sale when it's cheap.

Neat!

One of the worst games of all time! Well if you got 70 dollars to burn, its a fun retro gift for a retro nerd.

Haha! A brand new VHS tape created and released for sale (albeit in a collector’s bundle) in 2018. Imagine! Hmm. I’ll opt for the standard edition.

Also, thanks for the misleading title! I always enjoy a mildly alarmed scramble through a website.

I've picked up all of the other switch releases by Limited Run Games. But this will be the first Collector's Edition that I really try to get.

@bezerker99 You must order directly from the company.

@MedusaMadman77 that's what I'm told. Going to have to pass on that if that's the case.

It actually isn't though.

@MagicEmperor Lots of new VHS films being released all the time.

I managed to grab one of Limited Run's PS4 copies, and they sold out within a minute. This one has collector all over it, so expect it to sell out within seconds of going live.

@YANDMAN From entertainment companies?

Edit: I guess what I meant was, “But not massively produced, I bet. Must be from niche studios for target audiences.”

@canucksfan989 hopefully it won’t cost A MILLION POUNDS OF TUBESTEAK

@YANDMAN good, my SVHS deck needs some loving

@YANDMAN released to Home Video VHS? To my knowledge VHS has been long dead.

@ms-xman well your knowledge is incorrect. Video is home video, and yes there are still companies making brand new movies that release onto VHS.

@MagicEmperor Yes. Who else, non enetertainment companies?

@YANDMAN Hoho! Joshing aside, I wasn’t aware lots of new VHS are still sold. Just had doubt, I suppose.

@JasmineDragon Because all mine are barely viewable now ! Blurry with noisy line and so on...

@gurtifus I see. Well, most of mine are still in good shape. Not perfect shape, but good. VHS definitely doesn't stand up to repeated viewing as well as DVD and Blu-Ray, but it does age pretty well for the most part, as long as you're careful about storage.

@ms-xman I guess it's like anything, if you don't look you don't know.

when is the digital version released ?

Both batches of the collector's edition sold out in around a minute, I was online as soon as it went live and put one in my cart but I also added the trading cards and pin which took around a minute and it was sold out when I went to finally checkout but luckily I got one from the 6pm batch but that sold out just as quickly and was sold out a little after I finished my checkout, and this was done as soon as it went live.
