Limited Run Games is back again with another ultra rare offering and a unique new twist. Usually their releases are available in very small quantities, between 2,000 and 6,500 physical copies, but for Skullgirls 2nd Encore they’ll only be producing exactly the number of copies that are pre-ordered. Furthermore, it looks like the soundtrack CD — composed by Castlevania maestro Michiru Yamane with Vincent Diamante — will only be available in this limited edition package for either PlayStation 4 or Vita (or both!).
Many of Limited Run’s soundtrack CDs have come in plain black jewel cases but Skullgirls gets the special treatment with a clear case design and vinyl record print on the disc. The “Special Selection” disc will include 19 tracks from the game, losing 9 songs from the digital versions of the album which Brenna reviewed when it was originally released.
Other niceties include a reversible cover with new artwork, an outer slipcover and a full-color manual (remember those?). Pre-orders are being accepted for $39.99 until November 14th and if 10,000 copies are sold Lab Zero will add Japanese VO to both versions of the physical release. The bundles are expected to ship out in early 2017. Any Skullgirls fans out there tempted by this unique physical release? Let us know what you think in the comments.
