Star Wars (NES) Premium Edition

This is what happens when the force meets the cartridge slot. The Star Wars NES Premium Edition puts the original Star Wars game on a transparent blue physical cartridge for the NES, limited to just 2,000 copies worldwide. It's the first Premium Edition in Limited Run's retro lineup, and they didn't hold back.

Every unit is individually numbered and housed in a foil-stamped rigid book-style box that opens gatefold style. Inside you'll find a collectible Star Wars coin, a handheld cartridge retro enamel pin, a full-color manual, and a reversible 18 x 24 inch poster. The cartridge itself runs on proper 5v boards supplied by Retro-Bit, rigorously tested to play safely on your original hardware. No clone console gambles, no worrying about frying your beloved front-loader.

For those of us who grew up guiding Luke through those impossible Landspeeder stages and somehow surviving the Death Star trench run, this is a piece of our childhood rebuilt with the kind of care we always wished existed back then. A transparent blue cart sitting in your NES feels almost ceremonial. The shelf presence of that foil-stamped box next to your original gray Star Wars cart tells a story about how far collecting has come. Only 2,000 people get to tell it.
