Switch Limited Run #149: A Boy and His Blob Deluxe Edition

Some games just feel like a warm hug made of pixels. Switch Limited Run #149: A Boy and His Blob Deluxe Edition for Nintendo Switch brings back WayForward's gorgeous reimagining of the NES classic, now in a physical run that won't last forever. This is the kind of platformer that reminds you why hand-drawn animation in games still matters.

The relationship between a boy and his shapeshifting jellybean friend is one of gaming's most wholesome dynamics, and it translates beautifully to the Switch's portable screen. The Deluxe Edition comes packed with a full soundtrack, a reversible 18" x 24" poster that's big enough to anchor a display wall, and a dust sleeve to keep that case pristine on your shelf. For collectors who gravitate toward Limited Run's numbered releases, #149 sits in a sweet spot of the catalog.

It's not an obvious blockbuster grab, which means fewer people snagged it on impulse, and that scarcity is only going to grow. If you've got a soft spot for artful platformers and limited physical runs, this one belongs in the collection.
