Limited Run Games is teaming up with GameStop Retro stores in the US starting this holiday season to release a number of classic console games. Known for selling limited physical copies of previously digital-only releases, Limited Run Games caters to those who prefer hard copies of their favorite titles.
In August, GameStop announced that select stores around the country would begin offering customers a selection of classic consoles and games. From the Sega Saturn and the original PlayStation to the Dreamcast and Nintendo 64, fans could expect to find physical versions of their favorite titles and the consoles they used to play them on at GameStop Retro locations. As more games are released as digital exclusives, fan demand for physical media has started to increase, and a new partnership marks a step in the right direction for continued game preservation efforts.
