Limited Run Games has announced a physical release for “Shinobi: Art of Vengeance.” This news comes amidst ongoing discussions in the gaming community about the challenges of accessing physical copies of games, particularly from popular franchises. A recent comment highlighted frustrations regarding the resale market and the impact of scalpers on game availability. The commenter recalled the experience of purchasing the “Star Wars Jedi Knight” collection, only to discover later that a bundled version was released by Aspyr, leading to disappointment and financial strain.
Community Sentiments on Game Releases
Many gamers have expressed their concerns over high resale prices driven by scalpers, particularly for limited edition releases. This scenario has prompted discussions about the fairness and accessibility of games in physical formats. While some players are frustrated by these practices, others see downloading as a more viable solution, especially given that Nintendo is perceived to be more accommodating regarding downloadable titles compared to competitors like Sony and Microsoft.
