Limited Run #91: Windjammers Collector's Edition (Vita)

Competitive frisbee shouldn't work as a video game concept. Windjammers proved everyone wrong, and now it's on a Vita cartridge that comes with an actual Frisbee. The Limited Run #91: Windjammers Collector's Edition for PlayStation Vita is limited to 2,000 region-free copies worldwide, and the package is as wild as the game itself.

Windjammers was a NEOGEO arcade staple that turned disc-throwing into one of the most addictive competitive experiences of the 90s. Simple to learn, impossibly deep to master, with a visual style soaked in neon and beach culture that never gets old. The Vita version puts all that portable, which feels exactly right for a game built around quick, intense matches.

The Collector's Edition goes all in. A full-size 10.8 inch competition-ready Wham-O brand Frisbee is the headline, and yes, you can actually throw it. Each copy has a one-in-five chance of containing a rare hot pink variant Frisbee instead of the standard one, adding a genuine chase element to the unboxing experience. The full Windjammers original soundtrack on physical CD captures every track from the arcade. An 18 x 24 inch poster and Collector's Edition exclusive cover art on the game itself complete the set, all housed in a gatefold box with a die-cut slipcover that's built for display.

With the Vita's physical library becoming increasingly collectible and the system long discontinued, Windjammers on a Vita cartridge is the kind of release that only gets more interesting over time. The Frisbee is just the conversation starter.
