This summer was supposed to see the first Nintendo Switch release by Limited Run, but it seems that this will no longer be the case. Limited Run co-owner Douglas Bogart recently explained why that they came to this decision in an interview with GameCuddle. Nintendo is still playing catch-up due to the massive success that they are having, and Bogart feels Nintendo “don’t really have time for us”. However, Bogart says that the company is “on friendly terms with Nintendo and the book is still open”. Here’s what Bogart had to say:
“So, we told everyone on Twitter that the Switch stuff is on hold at the moment because Nintendo is still playing catch-up, because a lot of people that were doing games such as ‘Binding of Isaac’ didn’t anticipate having to keep reprinting it. They are selling way more than they ever thought. Nintendo is still catching up on those. They don’t really have time for us if we wanted to do a smaller run.”
Who is he exactly?
(Im being genuinely serious and I dont feel like googling him.)
It just said in the article…
I realize his question was too advanced for the average person, so I’ll help by asking you in a different way:
What games have they made, or what have they done to be recognized in the gaming industry… because that wasn’t mentioned.
you could have found that out for yourelf in less tim than it took you to write that comment. So,if youre too lazy to take 3 seconds out of your life and google something then you dont deserve the information, or the internet for that matter.
Maybe he’s on a limited device? My smartphone is hardly able to let me visit this site so I don’t really use it to go here and post (loading times suck).
Best check yourself before going off on someone for irrelevant matters.
Wow, yet you could have named one game, and instead decided to write an essay on why they shouldn’t have asked the question.
I smell hypocracy.
I was at work and I tend to forget things. Noticed how I just replied now, what was it? A day after? You couldve easily ignored it but thank you for not giving me any information and wasting your own time because CLEARLY you needed to say that.

That should be of assistance… }{
I have never seen this before. That’s actually kind of cool.
Being evil as usual, Your Evilness?
Lol at least this one was funny.
Limited Run Games, LLC is an American video game video game distributor based in Raleigh, North Carolina and a division of Mighty Rabbit Studios. The company specializes in the release of digital games in physical media, with the games being sold on their website. The company, founded by Douglas Bogart and Josh Fairhurst, was based on the preservation of video games, as well as catering to players who prefer physical discs and cartridges opposed to game downloads.[3] Limited Run Games releases games exclusively on their website, and deliberately creates small print runs. With this, the team maintains a pledge to refuse creating reprints of past titles, even if there is high demand. The company name itself is a reference to this business model, as their games are available in a firm, limited printing for a short time.

Now you’re just showing off XD
My copy pasta skills are impeccable
Well damn, I mean the name gives it away, but ill be damn. Ive heard of some of those game and never even knew they had physical copies, thanks for actually giving me info man.
So the reason for putting Switch releases on hold is because of the chance that they will sell well?
…okay then.
Maybe they feel like they’d be competing with 1st party and killer indie titles!
It’s the same logic if Nintendo released all their AAA games at once!
You can’t do a small run you dingle berries.
Do a large run and see how quick they are to help you out.
Stop being .. well.. limited!
1st World problems. Having to print up more of your successful game.
