Limited Run #223 : Super Meat Boy Collector's Edition (Vita)

Meat Boy has been through a lot. Buzz saws, salt, lava, and now the rare honor of a Limited Run collector's box. Limited Run #223: Super Meat Boy Collector's Edition for Vita brings the beloved indie platformer into the physical realm with a package that goes harder than expected.

The centerpiece is a Meat Boy figure produced by Fangamer, capturing our favorite skinless hero in all his glistening glory. There's something deeply satisfying about a character who exists as pure determination getting immortalized in a proper figure. The meat tray packaging is the kind of committed bit that makes you respect everyone involved in this release.

It's gross, it's perfect, and it tells you immediately that the people behind this understood the assignment. An 18x24 double-sided poster fills out the box alongside the Vita cart in its collector's packaging. Super Meat Boy helped define the indie boom, proving that tight controls and punishing difficulty could carry a game without a massive budget.

For collectors who were there when Team Meat changed the conversation about what small studios could achieve, this CE is a piece of that history. Vita collectors especially know the value here. The handheld's library is a treasure map at this point, and Limited Run's Vita output sits at the heart of it.
