Switch Limited Run #65: Streets of Rage 4 Classic Edition

The streets are calling, and this time they come in a Genesis clamshell. Switch Limited Run #65: Streets of Rage 4 Classic Edition for Nintendo Switch is a masterclass in packaging a modern game like a retro artifact.

The star of this set is the custom Genesis clamshell case with a reversible cover sheet, sized to hold both the SteelBook and the standard game case. That reversible cover flips to reveal "Bare Knuckle IV" art, paying homage to the series' Japanese roots. Slide that onto a shelf next to your original Genesis trilogy, and the continuity is seamless. The SteelBook adds a layer of premium display value, while a Switch-branded slipcover ties the whole package to its actual platform.

You also get a reversible cover and instruction manual for the game itself, because Limited Run understands that the little details are what separate a collector's piece from a retail product.

Streets of Rage 4 didn't just revive a franchise. It validated an entire genre's continued relevance. Dotemu, Lizardcube, and Guard Crush delivered a sequel that felt like it had been sitting in a time capsule since 1994, waiting for the right moment to emerge. The Classic Edition honors that legacy by wrapping a modern brawler in the aesthetic language of the Sega era. For anyone who grew up renting Streets of Rage 2 on Friday nights, this one hits different.
