What makes this a variant exactly?

Most copies do not come with the bonus puzzle.

I have one sealed copy of this variant and it has a sticker on the seal:

And an alternate UPC code sticker over the back seal too:

I assume it’s a retail exclusive variant but to date I haven’t been able to track down any more info than that.

Jigsaw puzzle variant of Zack & Wiki for $25

First time to be receiving an officially licensed physical release in North America  

https://nintendoeverything.com/gimmick-special-edition-switch-physical-release-detailed/#:~:text=If you're interested in,open on May 16%2C 2023.

Incredible. All is forgiven.

Saved this from going in the trash at Costco! 

I haven't posted in a while! Haven't been collecting aggressively but some cool things have come through. Please excuse the bad lighting on some of these. 

Sing 4 is an interesting one, it's not rare, but I haven't seen a brand new microphone bundle with the contest sticker before. 

That Rocker Power PC game was like $0.25 at the library. Still not worth it, but I couldn't just let it sit there (it's been sitting there for months). 

I still don't have a copy of Metroid Prime Remastered, but I have the My Nintendo reward. 

Finally got the Harvest Moon GB registration card to make mine CIB (I don't know what happened to my original card, I usually was very good at holding onto those). Also picked up another of one of my favorite variants, the Crafting Mama iron-on jewels variant. 

And another sealed button variant of Ninja Town, 

and another jigsaw puzzle variant of Zack & Wiki. 

GBC homebrew!

And something to read

I'm looking at various shmups on PlayAsia and trying to decide what to buy. Are these all going to be Japan exclusives? 

• Batsugun
• Zero Fire
• Telenet Shooting Collection (is this one worth it?)

Although, maybe I should just buy the Raystrom x Raycrisis release in North America and stick with that!

Found this awesome Sony Bravia kdl-22px300 tv/PS2 combo for a theft price of €10,- today. Just missing the remote but perfect working order. 

 

Edit: don't know why but the picture keeps ending up upside down.

I'm assuming this is an iPhone pic? iPhone stores the rotation settings separately from the original JPG so there's no quality loss when you rotate it. If you crop the image slightly, then it will re-save it with the correct orientation. So you should crop before uploading to fix it.

This is the first retro rerelease that LRG has done that I've had a lot of nostalgia for.  I used to play the SNES JP all the time.  It was one of my favorite SNES games.  I might consider that one depending on how they offer it (and the price).

I hope it's one Switch title with a compilation of all the Jurassic Park games and not like, one game on a cartridge and it's like 5 Switch releases in total.

Trip World is amazing, I couldn't double dip on that one in black and white again, but that DX release is tempting.

 

Retrobit involved at all, or this is where we are forced to buy from them like with Shantae?  I saw Hammerin Harry 1+2 are coming, they are retrobit which LRG will distribute but also Castlemania which likely means getting it notably sooner.  With how damn expensive Daiku no Gensan is now I'm tempted to drop the $100 on the double box as I've wanted to own them for years, might as well get fresh n' new in english.

Retrobit is not involved in Trip World. This is Limited Run doing it all in-house like they did for Shantae, Spanky’s Quest, Metal Masters, etc. They are working with Sunsoft and it sounds like LRG has an internal team making the changes to the original ROM to add color and so on.

This is available for pre-order from Premium Edition Games:

Yeah - I know  they take awhile but they do eventually deliver a nice product.

 

I have not had to wait long for Premium Edition Games releases. I'm located in the USA for reference.

People that have way more experience with the Switch library than I do, do Switch cartridges typically contain the whole game where you can play and keep playing straight out of the box or do you have to download and update most of them to be able to keep playing?

excluding the code in a box games.  I know those are download.

It feels like 50/50, for as many games that require zero updates, there seems to be just as many that have day-1 updates or are multiple updates behind the current patch

I haven’t updated my sheet in 2weeks or so. But last I had marked down they were on #185. Don’t remember how many games were on the WiiU

Depends on who you ask but my count was 165. So yep.

Just checking your sanity levels. But by "full set" you mean "one copy of each game" variety and not the "You might as well be listening to Hotel California because I found another print variant of a shovelware game." variety, right? 

It's not the DS library, come on 

This was $40. Don’t know if that was a good price!

Update on the Ninja Town Button variant: 

Two eBay hunts: 

1. Zack & Wiki lenticular puzzle variant. Now I have 1 sealed and 2 CIB of this. Still no idea where these came from. $15.99

2. Sealed Ninja Town pin button variant. $31.98. Now I have 2 sealed and 1 CIB of this variant. Still no idea where it came from, I've had some people say it might have been Circuit City or somewhere else, I thought I had gotten my original copy from EB Games but I don't really remember. 

To date I have not seen anyone else with this particular variant!

As luck would have it I also cannot find my other copies... they are somewhere in my house. But I do have a picture of them: 

Note that each one has a different button. There were a bunch of buttons made and to this day they can still be purchased from the Ninja Town website here: https://www.ninjatown.com/smallmerch/ You can even see in the example photo a button that is identical to the one on the left in my picture above! The buttons used for this variant were probably randomly selected and so it's probably impossible to track down all the different styles that were used. It's possible that each surviving copy has a different button, who knows!

That makes sense for the collectors edition/ fixed print games. But they’ve had open preorders on for a 5+ years now. So there is no “selling out” on the second day since they can’t actually sell out

This was from before they started doing open orders. Their standard releases used to be limited.

Two games have been canceled by Special Reserve Games. Kardboard Kings and Relic Hunter. All orders to be refunded. This is the first Ive heard of a limited print game being canceled post orders opening. 

Did we forget about Dispatch games already lol?

Could this be a sign of waning interest in limited print games that spreads to other companies?

Absolutely. A lot of these games only sold out because people were speculating on them. Now that these are no longer "investments," or I should say, easy flips, people aren't rushing to buy them anymore. 

Found these for sale at the library. $1 and $0.50. Now I have two of the Let’s Find Pokémon!
