First Press Games - limited releases - Blu-ray Forum

Didn't see a thread for this particular limited print company. They are nowhere near as prolific as LRG or even Strictly Run Games, but I see a lot to like from them.

This company is based in Germany and has released or announced about a dozen Switch games. They have some interesting quirks.

- Every game comes with a collectible coin. Sort of like LRG giving you a trading card. But I do think the coins are much cooler collector's items than trading cards.
- Every copy is individually numbered.
- Every release has an English language and a Japanese release. Though the only difference seems to be different cover art.
- Every release has a standard edition and one or more levels of collector's editions.
- Every release, including regular editions, has a nice slipcover.
- Cover art is pretty damn great, for virtually all releases.
- Every collector's edition includes a full soundtrack.
- Most regular edition releases have a print run of around 3,000-4,000 copies, with collector's editions have a run of something like 500-1,000 copies.
- They seem to post an unboxing video of every edition of every game on their YouTube channel. I really appreciate that.
- Most regular editions are between 35-40 EUR, limited editions tend to be around 70-85 EUR. Unfortunately, international shipping can be costly.
- They have a web page with shipping estimates of all their releases.

Their games tend to be more obscure than the typical LRG releases, but they do have some real gems.

Chained Echoes is regarded as one of the very best indie RPG's of this generation, with an average of 90 on Metacritic, and First PRess has the exclusive physical copy. I ordered the regular edition for around 50 EUR as the limited edition was already sold out.

Crimzon Clover World EXplosion is one of the better shmups on the Switch (average Metacritic score of 85). The regular, limited, and collector's editions are all still available for between 40-135 EUR. I ordered the middle priced limited version below for 70 EUR.

They also publish games for the PS4 and retro consoles, such as the NES, Famicom, and GameBoy Color.
