Hello, again. Friend of a friend. Scott Pilgrim vs The World: The Game - based on the hugely successful graphic novel series rather than the Edgar Wright movie of the same name - is finally getting a physical release, and it is fiiiine. Featuring music from Anamanaguchi and visuals based on artist Bryan Lee O'Malley's original work, Scott Pilgrim vs The World: The Game originally came out in 2010 and is due for a re-release on Switch on January 14th.
To celebrate the game's launch, Limited Run Games, Universal, and Ubisoft have put together a "Standard Edition" physical release, a "Classic Edition", which includes a clamshell box, a concert ticket, a map, the soundtrack, and a sticker sheet, and the "K.O. Edition" which will come with everything from the Classic Edition, plus a hardshell roadie case that contains a pop-up scene, working lights, and Anamanaguchi's music, as well as drumsticks, guitar picks, a trading card set, an enamel pin, and a guide book.
The preorder period for all three editions runs from January 15th to February 28th. The Standard Edition retails at $34.99 (~£26), the Classic Edition at $54.99 (~£40.50), and the K.O. Edition at $139.99 (~£103). All versions of the game are the "Complete Edition", which includes all the DLC from the original game.
Are you excited about playing (or replaying) Scott Pilgrim vs The World: The Game? Do you have fond memories of beating up Ramona's evil exes? Come tell us about how bread makes you fat in the comments.

Looks excellent except for the fact you cannot pick your cover. I don't want to buy the game twice to get the cover I want.
Ughhh, I really want it but I also don’t tend to buy into these sorts of things.
With how well these resell I can see that k.o edition going for $300+ immediately after preorders end. I may get it and just keep it cause I loved that movie. I remember the movie coming out when I was leaving high school and half the senior class went to the premiere. Got a standing ovation too. Great memory!
Scott Pilgrim is probably the biggest love letter to nerd/geek culture that I've ever seen, even more than the likes of Wreck it Ralph or Ready Player One (which I personally think is super overrated)
I also really dug the movie adaptation. One of my favorite Edgar Wright films easily
@PBNightmare the Limited Run website says the box art is reversible, so you should be cover-ed. 😉
Definitely getting the standard physical edition; I'm not getting a loan just for Scott Pilgrim.
@TheFrenchiestFry I never got on that well with the movie. I love the graphic novels, read them when they first came out but the movie’s a bit of a mess. Too many novels crammed into the one movie, it could have done with being at least two or three movies. It would work a lot better as a miniseries.
I haven't bought a LRG game in a while but i'll be picking this one up.
@Thwomp_Stomper I went to a midnight premiere to the movie, and it released the same night as The Expendables. So they set up two lines, and it was the nerds/gamers in one and the jocks/dudebros in the other and the two lines were razzing each other the whole time. And when the 16-bit Universal logo popped up, the entire theater ROARED. One of the best movie experiences I've ever had.
Man, I miss theaters.
@chocolate_supra Ah I misread it. Thank you.
Was never a big Scott Pilgrim fan and I thought the game was just okay for a Beat 'em up.
Eh, folks are happy, so good for them.
I believe the phrase take my money applies to me here.
Never read the Graphic Novels or watched the movie, I’m not sure if it’s my thing or not but the game seems fun so idk
No idea why they didn't just go for a standard physical edition rather than Limited Run but the scalpers will be happy as they always get flipped for profit.
I will grab the digital version as its a lot cheaper.
I really want this and Shiren, but those Limited Run Games are so hard to get by here. Import taxes are crazy
I'm in lesbians with the movie, so I'm super stoked to finally play the game. When it came out originally I only had a Wii and I was so sad, so very very sad.
Props to Kate for slipping several Scott Pilgrim references in there! Let me take you for a ride in my garbage truck!
I'd have sprung for the KO set IF it didn't come with that Roadie Case. I can see the appeal of it, but I just don't need it. That cassette, the guitar picks and the drumsticks are soooooo neat. I'll just go for the edition that comes with the soundtrack CD...
Now I'm kinda mad I didn't hold out on getting Panzer Paladin for a few more days till this hits...I hope that they'll announce a physical of Double Dragon Neon in the same window as Scott, so I can save a bit on postage...
If the soundtrack psychically is only in this kind of release, that's a shame, didn't have a player when my local store had the vinyl.
@Mr-Fuggles777 : There have always been standard editions available of these types of releases.
It would be absolutely foolish to have cartridges printed (for which there is a minimum order of 1,000) if the only SKU costs US$140 (plus shipping).
Yes! Finally its getting preserved! Hopefully Hades is next.
The movie is one of my favorites and I loved the game on PS3. Really looking forward to this re-release.
Doesn't get the tagline........ Get's the tagline
@TheFrenchiestFry I always thought Sucker Punch was a massive nerd-dream come to life. Hot chicks, guns, swords, shotguns, nazis, zombies, dragons, robots, martial arts, giant stone statues, martial arts... it had everything you could ask for!
@JuiceMan_V same... never loved the game. Was immediately in love with SOR4 this year though. That game is perfection to me (aside from not being able to run with everyone...)
Great bi-line! I'm glad to hear we can get physical with Mr Pilgrim : )
Is $30 worth it for a beat em up when I mostly game solo? I don't know yet
@FanboyBeyond thats just for the physical i think ubisoft have confirmed it will be 15 digital but im not entirely sure.
Ngl, the Roadie's Collector Case looks cool, but I'll stick with the standard edition.
I got to get this never played it before but it sounds like people love it.
So $15 for digital, $35 for physical, or $140 to get the game with a bunch of useless stuff I won't ever use. I think I'll just go digital.

There, tagline origins cited...
