If you find yourself perusing our lovingly crafted pages on a regular basis, you'll probably be aware that Jumanji: The Video Game is just days away from launching on Nintendo Switch. If you're looking forward to its release, you might want to consider picking up this lovely looking Collector's Edition.
The game's publisher, Outright Games, has partnered up with Limited Run Games to bring this collector's item to life. It contains the full game, its original orchestral soundtrack, an exclusive character art poster, and detailed replicas of the original Jumanji board game pieces, all wrapped up inside a board game-style box.
You can go ahead and pre-order your own right now for $59.99, although those in Europe will have to miss out this time around as it's only available in the US.
If you want to know more about the game itself, make sure to check out the gameplay trailer which was shared just a few months back. Players take on the role of the film’s heroes and set off on an adventure to find the precious Jewels of Jumanji.
Will you be grabbing this one when it launches next month? Any US readers thinking of picking up the Collector's Edition? Tell us below.

Day 1 buy If it was in carved wood...
Wow, LRG gave like two or three hours of notice for this collector's edition going up on their site. That's pretty unusual.
As far as I know, LRG usualy ships internationaly? Is this an exception?
Comes with a special edition collectible rock
@RupeeClock - Going to take a guess cause these aren't entirely exclusive. They did that with Oceanhorn as well.
I still have no idea what gameplay is like! Seriously... Is this an adventure like Lara Croft? The trailers for this have been unnecessarily vague unless it's a bag tie-in game that they're just trying to hide the truth.
@Swimming
Oh that's nice to know, that explains why I've never gotten stung for customs for stuff ordered from LRG.
It's probably included in the shipping charge.
@Paraka
Well the collector's edition in this case is exclusive, they're supplying it.
The game however doesn't appear to be exclusive, Outright Games seem to publish/develop a number of other games.
Given that the whole focus on the new movies was to ditch the board game concept, this is a little silly, but also a remark of how much more memorable the original movie was.
What's the purple piece supposed to be?
im still curious about what the gameplay will be like...
How does it run on Switch, need to know before buy
@BakaKnight "Memorable" might be a bit of a stretch aided by nostalgia. I remember, um, Robin Williams was in it, and he played "Robin Williams Wearing A Pith Helmet". A game came to life, and I think there were rhinocerouses involved. It wasn't exactly Citizen Kane.
I'm not saying the reboot was Citizen Kane, either. In fact, I haven't seen it. But I bet the kids who saw it at the appropriate age will remember it just as fondly as the kids who saw the original as kids remember it.
@JasmineDragon I wasn't saying it is that memorable honestly, I only pointed out how even this limited edition think the original movie is more memorable, iconic, etc than the new sequels/reboots this new videogame is based on.
I mean, isn't it ironic how a game based on a movie that said how board games are useless and noone cares about them, is now having this box, the one it intentionally ditched in the very first few minutes of the movie, as its cool limited edition?~
@BakaKnight I agree that it's a weird promotional gimmick, I guess it's just the only thing they could think of to make the limited edition stand out.
AFAIAMC this games is poorly packed with LRG.
1. No SteelCase
2. Extras are a flop want real deal Jumanji board game.
3. The offer is just pathetic since the game isn't a collector value.
4. This gimmick doesn't stand out it just stinks to high heaven.
How is this US only? The Switch is region free and LRG ships worldwide?
