E3 2019: Limited Run Games ’19 Lineup
Limited Run Games held its E3 presentation at noon Pacific today and revealed much of its planned release schedule for 2019. The entire remainder of their Vita list was revealed and their first title for the 3DS was unveiled. MIA from the list was VAL-HA11-A for Switch, which was promised earlier…its absence is curious and we hope it’s not a bad sign.
First, here is Limited Run’s final Vita list. Sony shut off Vita production earlier this year; these games made it through the approval process before then. Vita has done good business for Limited Run; whenever a game is offered on both Vita and any other platform, the Vita version sells out five times as fast. Collectors be hungry!

Before Sonic Mania, this was the closest thing anybody could get to a modern Sonic game that was any good. Pick it up if you can.
Star Wars Bounty Hunter — PS4, June 28
Limited Run’s big surprise at the end of the video was the announcement they’d be publishing Star Wars games from Lucasfilm’s past; the first of these, Bounty Hunter, will be out later this month.

One of the first games Limited Run published for Switch was Mercenary Kings….now it’s the PS4’s turn.
Transistor — PS4 / Switch, July 5
The story of a woman and her beloved talking sword.
Corpse Killer — PS4, July 5
A cheesy 90s FMV game.

Double Switch — Switch, July 19
Another cheesy 90s FMV game.

Yes, these are the N64 originals, originally remastered for PC but now available on Switch.

Night in the Woods — PS4 / Switch, Q4 2019
Blaster Master Zero — Switch, Q4 2019
This game already has a sequel out, and we’re curious why Inti Creates isn’t putting them both on one card.
