Switch Limited Run #13: Yooka-Laylee CE Backer Edition

This is the collector's edition that came with an actual hat. Switch Limited Run #13: Yooka-Laylee CE Backer Edition for Nintendo Switch was built specifically for high-level Kickstarter backers of the Yooka-Laylee campaign, making it one of the earliest and most exclusive entries in Limited Run's Switch catalog. The Collector's Edition is capped at 3,000 copies worldwide and includes Yooka-Laylee on a region-free physical Switch cartridge, a full-color retro-style manual, an 18 x 24 inch poster, a CD soundtrack featuring Grant Kirkhope's magnificent score, and a non-functional retro cartridge in a Kickstarter backer exclusive color shell.

That display cartridge is the kind of detail that separates a good collector's edition from a great one. Yooka-Laylee was born from pure 3D platformer nostalgia, a spiritual successor to Banjo-Kazooie built by the very people who made Banjo-Kazooie. The backer-exclusive angle adds a layer of provenance that standard retail editions simply can't replicate.

As Switch Limited Run #13, this sits incredibly early in their numbered lineup, back when physical Switch releases from LRG were still a new frontier. The retro manual, the poster, the soundtrack CD, it all channels the energy of an N64-era big box release translated for a modern audience. For 3D platformer devotees and early Limited Run Switch collectors, this is a cornerstone piece.

One per customer. Backer exclusive. The real deal.
