Limited Run Games will release limited print physical editions of Streets of Rage 4 for PlayStation 4 and Switch, the distributor announced.

Pre-orders for the standard and Classic editions will open stating March 20 at 10:00 a.m. ET and run until one week after the digital release. It will be an open pre-order, meaning buyers should not worry about it selling out.

• Official SteelBook case
• Custom Genesis Clam Shell case that fits both SteelBook case and standard game case
• Reversible cover

Limited Edition

Is there a demo or something? I'm hoping that this game continues the trend of games this generation playing better than they look but everything I've seen so far hasn't sold me on the game yet...

That's the problem. If I do end up digging this game, I definitely want the physical version, but by the time I find out whether or not it's any good, that version will be gone. I really wish there was a demo before March 20.

P.S. OP that reminds me, your initial post says March 10th as the pre-order date; it's 20th.

Just sign up for a virtual US postbox service that will forward it to your country (for a fee of course).

Awesome Finally !! Am eyeing the classic edition just for the Genesis case but i hope the price is reasonable

DunDunDunpachi This is something for you

 

[Space Runaway]

Genesis case looks cool but ugly covers all around. I'll stick with digital.

Is this the only way to get the physical version of this game?

 

[SleepDoctor]

That classic edition tho. I knew I'd probably double dip but not like this lol

Where do you see US only? I've ordered dozens of games from LR and I don't live in the US.

Pretty much.

 

[Needlecrash]

Guess I'm getting the classic edition! I wonder what comes in the Limited Edition....

 

[MasterDerico]

So when is the digital release date?

Could have been a good cover except it was predictably ruined by beard Axel. It still has to be the ugliest looking beard I've ever seen in game.

 

[Juke Joint Jezebel]

Shame it's an LRG run, not going to pay steep import fees to get a copy of it.

 

[Saber]

Pretty much.

Thats terrible
Probably won't be getting one.

 

[Old Retro]

It'll be $50 for the 30 minutes of gameplay you'll get out of it.

 

[SLoWMoTIoN]

Yeah saw this 2 months ago. Fuck Limited Games shame on you Sega.

 

[KiteGr]

price?

I can't help shake the feeling SoR4 will travel the same path as Sonic Mania: even if the game receives no significant update, a physical version will evetually make its way to normal retail channels. Otherwise, the new cover art is inline with this project as a whole, being something made to the developers' personal tastes and not necessarily representative of the franchise.

They said that the art is not final

They already advertised the imagery from the OP, and pre-orders open this coming Friday. The art could certainly get tweaked before printing, but it's probably unlikely there will be any major changes.
