Dinosaurs crossed with spiders, run-and-gun gameplay, and an entire fake pizza coupon. Switch Limited Run #172: Spidersaurs Collector's Edition for Nintendo Switch is exactly the kind of gloriously absurd package that makes collecting fun. WayForward's Contra-inspired shooter about genetically engineered spider-dinosaur hybrids gets a retro-styled box stuffed with personality: an Ingest parking sticker, the original soundtrack, a Spidersaurs cookbook (yes, a cookbook), a Victoria concert ticket, a two-sided 18" x 24" poster with a tips and tricks map on the back, and a Pizzextinction free pizza coupon that is, sadly, not valid.

Every piece in this box commits fully to the game's satirical corporate dystopia setting, and that level of in-universe dedication is what separates a memorable CE from a forgettable one. The retro-styled box and the tips-and-tricks map poster channel the energy of '90s game packaging, back when manuals and inserts were part of the experience. For Switch collectors who want their shelves to have some personality, Spidersaurs delivers.

Limited Run's numbered catalog means this won't be reprinted, and the quirky contents make it a conversation starter every single time someone browses your collection.
