Limited Run Games Decides to Get Physical with First Physical Store Grand Opening This Month
Digital copies of video games are very popular for consumers to purchase because of their convenience and sometimes speed over physical copies. However, physical games still have their charms and there are some gamers who refuse to let physical games die. One company that has helped physical games stay relevant is Limited Run Games and for the first time, they’re going to go physical themselves! Limited Run Games announced last week that it will have the grand opening for its very first physical store on April 30 in Cary, NC.
The day will have plenty of activities and events for gamers to enjoy. Each attendee will receive a raffle ticket for a chance to win a prize pack and an exclusive event trading card. In addition, the first 100 people in line will get a swag bag. Here’s a full listing of what you can expect if you attend this momentous occasion:
Over 800 curated games and limited-edition merch available spanning the entire Limited Run Games catalog2

The World: The Game SNES Edition (with exclusive cover for Switch and PS4), Shantae and Shantae: Risky’s Revenge (both available in an oversized Game Boy styled box), a River City Girls 1 Commemorative NES Box and Soundtrack, and an exclusive Grand Opening Trading Card3
