Limited Run Games has teamed up with SEGA for not one, but two sets of interesting video games physical merchandise commemorating two cool video game franchises, and the best thing is you can start pre-ordering them now!
Sonic Adventure
First up is a merchandise collection celebrating one of the premier games of the SEGA Dreamcast: Sonic Adventure. I used to own a secondhand Dreamcast before a so-called friend of mine conveniently lost it when I loaned it to him, hence no more Sonic Adventure for me. Sonic Adventure was released as a launch title for the SEGA Dreamcast in 1998 and 1999.
This classic game brought the Blue Blur into 3D with his most ambitious game yet! Under the direction of series mainstay Takashi Iizuka, Sonic Team brought the series into the modern era with style. Complemented by a revolutionary soundtrack from Jun Senoue, Sonic’s leap into the futuristic world of 3D was immediately memorable and is still beloved by legions of fans today!
The design team at Limited Run has tapped into the energy of Sonic Adventure and came up with a merchandise collection that includes skate decks, shirts, hats, trading card collectibles and more! You can pre-order them at limitedrungames.com.
Yakuza 0 and Yakuza Kiwami
The next set is an all-new collection of physical releases of Ryu Ga Gotoku’s beloved Yakuza series starting with Yakuza 0 and Yakuza Kiwami. Pre-orders for these physical editions opened on October 11, 2024, and will run through November 10th. Yakuza 0 will be available for PS4 and Xbox, while Yakuza Kiwami is coming to Switch, PS4, and Xbox. Fans can choose between standard editions and deluxe “Classic Editions” that include extras like soundtracks, acrylic standees, and other collectibles.
The Classic Editions sound particularly interesting. Priced at $74.99, they’re pricier than the $34.99 standard releases, but seem to offer a lot of value for collectors. These deluxe versions come with goodies like character cards, keychains, and premium packaging.
One of the coolest aspects of this release is the unified design across all 7 planned titles. Limited Run is clearly putting a lot of thought into making these editions special for fans. They’re even offering a free 7-game slipcase with Yakuza 0 orders, which seems perfect for displaying the full saga. You can pre-order the games over here: https://limitedrungames.com/
