nice take on the wonder boy box art man that and the mario 2 manual i might have to get this even though played it on steam and thought it was only ok
"Limited Run Games got a lot of great feedback for the SMS cover of Wonder Boy The Dragon's Trap. We should totally do the same thing!"

Picked up the limited edition thanks to Wario's tweet and this thread being open on my iPhone.
Yeah... not quite. This is from 2014, which predates LRG's Wonder Boy release:
Note the disc in the picture. And then there's this from 2010:

Note the title image in that article. I like LRG too, but let's not get carried away. They didn't exactly have a novel idea with the Wonder Boy cover. Retro City Rampage has been all about the retro look from the jump. It's even in the name!

I really want the reversible cover but it isn't worth $15US extra heh.
Really? Now I'm having second thoughts.
The CE has a similar run as the Vita version (3300 copies were made), which goes for over $100 now. The first print edition of the PS4 version (2000 copies were printed) is also selling at higher prices.
In 2016 they had a further run for the PS4 version, also with a limited edition (3000 units). That's not selling at high prices on eBay.
Here we have 3000 copies for the CE and an undisclosed amount for the standard edition.
Anyway, now it's too late for you

The PS4 version was readily available for years after the initial release. Either they kept "finding" more copies or they continued to reprint variations.
Just like the standard edition for Switch, he isn't saying it's limited. So it could well be that they printed more copies. They may also print more copies of the standard edition if there's demand, I guess.

The Standard Edition pre-orders are now in and start shipping tomorrow! Stay tuned for your tracking numbers. We're super excited for you to get them.
The Collector's Editions are taking a bit longer to finish assembling than anticipated, but don't worry! They're right around the corner, and we've put this extra time to some good use. To make up for the wait, you'll now be getting a full set of FOUR alternate covers instead of just one. In addition to these extra covers, we've also given extra love to the first one, and transforming the plain old white background into something much more special!
Assembly should be completed next week. After that, the finished orders will be sent to the fulfillment center, then sent to you. Thank you so much for your patience. We apologize for the delay, but hope these exciting new covers will make the wait worth it!
Just received this update.

Wait... what happened to this cover?!
It's the first one in that spread in the post above yours, they changed it.
I thought about buying the CE for a second just for that cover. I'd be super pissed right now if I had. It's a pretty shitty thing to do but that Mario 2 cover does make up for it some.
