Limited Run Republishing Another Two Game Boy Titles, Pre-Orders Open This Friday

What very odd choices...

I understand that Nintendo is no longer licensing the Game Boy brand in these sorts of situations, but the lack of proper Game Boy insignia is an instant turn-off when it comes to these releases.

The boxes would look so much better if they'd just forfeit the "Limited Run" banner entirely.

Please make a Cyberpunk 2077 cartridge for Game Boy, it'd run just as well as other consoles with Cyberpunk

As much as I would like to have these, I probably won't as most people will think I own fake games if I do. As a partner to Nintendo, not sure why Limited Run Games couldn't just get the rights so to be able to add the Game Boy logo on there so the games look legit.

I understand that they probably couldn't so easily get more popular games this sort of treatment and that Gameboy games could be very limited but even still...these two games don't look like they've aged well. One of them looks slow and the other looks like not a fighting game that should exist post-Street Fighter 2.

If they're actual Gameboy cartridges though, that's really cool.

I totally agree - I glanced through the article, read your post, then watched the videos. It's absurd that anyone would want either of these games to be more than a sealed, relatively rare, ... paperweight.

@kkslider5552000 I don’t know, they do supposedly have a relationship with Konami, since they have plans to release the Castlevania Collection for Switch. I can’t imagine it would be too difficult to get Konami to go along with reprints of some of their GB games. Maybe that’s what’s holding up the collection?

I think I might have an original copy of Metal Masters, or maybe under some other name.
Looks like a random junk game I bought for a few bucks back I saw physical retro game stores in existence.

Actually checking, never mind. It was not the same game at all. The game I was thinking of was a first-person shooter called Bionic Battler.
Still, it was an Electro Brain game. The excitement level on their games was about the same.

$35 for a Game Boy game? No, thanks

The enemies during the fist minutes of that shooter game look like sperm.

Hey if I order from LR games and I live in the EU I have to pay import fees/taxes? Does anyone know?

@belmont I live in the UK and I've been ordering from limited run for a couple of years now and haven't had to pay import fees once yet. Hope that helps.

@HollowSpectre Thanks!

StarHawk looks like Nemesis without power-ups, and since I still have my Nemesis cartridge ...

Neither are worth a re-release, a total waste of time amongst a SEA OF POSSIBILITIES.

@Whitestrider Original copies of these two games go for way than $35, especially Starhawk (which never got a US release). It may not be your thing, fair enough, but there's value n these getting reissued.

@joedick
I'm not sure their value is that High...

@YANDMAN of course, but collectors Will buy them like they were something special..
