During its E3 event Limited Run Games announced an awesome Collector's Edition of Huntdown, the stylish run and gun title on Switch. Unsurprisingly it proved popular, selling out in under 12 hours.
In good news for those that missed out another batch of 2000 units will go on sale soon, on 10th August to be precise. Here's the original listing, and those who are eager should keep an eye on social media for a go-time; we'll keep our eyes open as well. It has all sorts of goodies in it, which you can see below.
Pleasingly there's also going to be a 'premium' edition that'll roll out more broadly at retailers around the world; it'll include a manual and some rather nice pins; it'll launch on 14th October.
Let us know in the comments if you're planning to pick up either edition!

No we won’t hunt the copies down. Why do you keep pushing people spending more and more of their hard earned money? Limited run and such sh*t should not exist at all. It is only for brainwashed s@ckers.
Thankfully I live in the UK and LRG's postage prices are ridiculous so I am never tempted by the games they offer. Apart from Scott Pilgrim. That I had to own.
@enoughisenough hardly pushing people is it? Folk are always looking for physical copies of games so maybe chill out?
I really enjoyed the bosses of this game.
The article even mentions a wider retail release...
@enoughisenough I am 100% the brainwashed sucker that wants this.
OMG, i love Huntdown so so so so much! I had no idea there was a special edition and THERE'S AN ACTION FIGURE ARE YOU KIDDING ME. Ori and this are the ones that really got me thinking, but a freaking action figure?! I WANT THIS!!
@Mqblank Ooh, it might not change your mind but they recently lowered their postage rates to the UK. I've noticed them lower to less than half of what they used to be. Seems to be a pretty recent thing and I don't think they've made an official announcement about it.
The collector's edition was just too rich for my blood, a whole $80 when all I actually wanted was just the game.
I feel a lot of customers were buying that collector's edition just for the physical game, and would've gone for the standard edition instead if they provided that from the get-go.
@Arteus Noooooooooooooooooooooo
Coffee Stain?
WHERE IS MY SANCTUM PORT YOU COWARDS?!
Think I paid about £8 for it on digital during a sale.
Standard retail version for me
Just a retail copy for $35 will be sufficient for me, coming soon.

The swag in the CE shown above looks like trash, imo.
It's a pretty good game, but I wouldn't spend too much for It.
Digital is fine for me, but this really is one of the indie gems available on Switch. If you need physical to finally play it, part the tides to get this in your collection.
I love some of these limited run releases just can’t afford to import and due to the USA rating it can’t be sold in the uk secondhand market when you need the cash. (Tho eBay will list it)
@enoughisenough Way too many children on this website
Finally...avoid the eBay Scalpers and with this those prices will drop like a rock on release date again.
10th August
Gives me time - I'll be free from work to order that. Anyone else have dibs on the PE???
@enoughisenough they are a drain to the physical market scalping all the physical releases to their own company, it's extortion and I hate it!
@RupeeClock perfectly said. I ordered the collector’s edition because, at the time, it was the only physical option available. Had there been a standard edition for $30, I absolutely would have gone that route instead. I’ll probably end up getting the standard edition now and selling the collection on eBay. At least I know I’ll probably double my money.
@huyi What? 😂
@faint google it and define what the world EXTORTION means, maybe it will calculate thru that thick skull of yours 😑😑😑
ugh everytime i read a headline about this game i think it is about another game: hunt showdown
@enoughisenough You're just mad because we can afford it. Lol
@huyi Putting out a limited release as a small company is not extortion. I’m starting to think you should google extortion.
@Arteus
Previously they had DDP shipping with VAT prepaid included in the shipping cost (apparently, averaged out...?).
Now they charge VAT separately - so the shipping cost went down to compensate, but the 20% added may mean you pay even more than before.
Buying a single game every now and again, you'll likely save, but previously you could combine multiple games and the shipping cost would stay around the same - which isn't the case anymore.
HUNTDOWN is a legit Eshop gem. This release is pretty cool..especially the action figure and old school cassette tape. Some mofos won’t even know what to do with a cassette nowadays lol. Great game made even better in co op. Think mature rated Contra or similar vibe to the classic NARC games. The game must have sold very well on Switch, curious to see the numbers! I’d be good with a standard copy but the collectors packs are pretty dope
Wow...I don't buy Collector's editions, but this one looks really worth it
@huyi of course it is.
Everything is only about draining out wallet. Sites like this have no right to have titles as “hunt those copies down “. We have control on your money , not companies , not sites not anyone else. It is unacceptable. Nintendolife should ,inform not encourage people to spend their money. It’s like a gentle “pshicological blackmail”. Everything , youtubers , sites like this , magazines , they are finally one big advertise. All the other stuff ( reviews , info , whatever ) is just a cover up of the “ spend your money NOW “ policy. Money money money money. We do not need 99,9999% of what is being advertised. How many games can be one’s favorites ? One should live 20 lives to manage to play all those games he owns. It’s all about money and time. He who possesses your time also possesses your mind says EPICA. And also your money allow me auto add.
@ThomasBW84 The landing page for the standard edition has been created on AmazonUK.
