Limited Run Games once again stole E3 (imho) with an excellent showcase. For their 2nd Annual E3 showcase they showed off around 50 games being released, physically, in the upcoming months. Personally I am excited for all the LucasArts Games (mostly released on their original platforms) and Blaster Master Zero. This is going to be an exciting year for LRG!
Here is a list of the games announced, stripped from their site (https://limitedrungames.com/blogs/news/lrg-e3-2019 ):

The Atooi Collection collect is awesome and it's great we are still getting new 3DS carts.
That link seems broken.
Are those LRG Star Wars games on DVD on PC? Curious if Podracer might come to Switch or if they are legit reproducing the N64 cart and PC CD?
link is fixed
They are legit producing the carts. These titles are coming to the platforms listed in the parenthesis.
I know they do but Star Wars Episode I: Racer (PC, N64) is coming back to PC and N64? Huh.
Cool but I was hoping for a more modern cart on Switch. That said, if you missed it on 64 nows the time!
I guess I'm missing the point for some of these. Sticking with Jon's Episode I Racer example, getting that on the Switch or other modern platforms would get more people playing it. I know it's coming to PC too, but presumably that's the PC version that released back in the day and is different from the N64 version.
But for me the larger issue is, it's not like it's hard to find Episode I Racer used for N64, and wouldn't it be cooler to have the original than a repro? Buy a couple copies just in case one breaks and you're probably out less money than this will cost.
> different from the N64 version.
Margnially, I should say. With the exception of much better graphics and more cutscenes on the PC version, the N64 version. has some cheats and lets you use two controllers, one for each engine, kinda like how the arcade version worked.
To me, it depends on what collectibles are packaged with it. If there are some cool extras in a CE, some of these titles I already have will be worth picking up again. Also, don't underestimate the power of "new". That being said, these are probably aimed more at the fans/collectors of the games, rather than the general gamer.
Good points all around. I hadnât considered the pack-ins, things like that can really make the difference.
