During E3 we learned about Limited Run Games’ planned partnership with LucasArts to bring plenty of classic Star Wars titles back into physical production. While these are obviously just limited runs (it’s right there in the name), it’s still an exciting opportunity for collectors, especially now that we’ve seen the packaging for two of the oldest additions to the lineup.
A long time ago in a galaxy very nearby, Star Wars™ was released on NES and Gameboy. Now, it gets a physical Limited Run re-release on June 28 at 10am & 6pm EDT alongside Star Wars™: Bounty Hunter.

The original Star Wars for NES and Game Boy are being reproduced, with unique blue cartridges and in action figure-esque blister packs. It’s a perfect touch that beats a standard box and lives up to another side of the Star Wars fandom. These two will be able to order (alongside the more standardly boxed PS4 Star Wars: Bounty Hunter) on June 28th.

When he isn’t writing for Nintendo Wire, Ricky’s anticipating the next Kirby, Fire Emblem, or if the stars ever align, Mother 3 to be released. Till then he’ll have the warm comfort of Super Smash Bros. to keep him going.
