Ultracore Collector's Edition (Nintendo Switch)

A game that spent 25 years in limbo deserves more than just a cartridge, and this Collector's Edition delivers. The Ultracore Collector's Edition for Nintendo Switch is a Strictly Limited Games exclusive, limited to 2,000 copies. Inside you'll find the game with manual, the original 1994 Edition soundtrack CD, the expanded 2019 Edition double-CD soundtrack, Ultracore stickers, and a large A2 poster, all housed in a hardcover box with magnetic latch.

Ultracore started life as "Hardcore," developed by Digital Illusions in the early 90s. The game was finished, ready to ship, and then shelved into obscurity for a quarter century. That's not marketing fluff. This was a complete, playable game that simply never saw the light of day until now. The run-and-gun action has the hallmarks of its era, tight controls, detailed pixel art, and the kind of relentless pacing that 90s action games did better than anyone.

The dual soundtrack CDs are the highlight of this set. The 1994 Edition preserves the music as it was originally composed, while the 2019 Edition reimagines it for modern ears. Together they tell the story of a game that existed in two different centuries. The A2 poster and stickers round out a package that displays beautifully on any shelf. For Switch collectors who appreciate gaming history as much as gaming itself, this is an artifact that literally couldn't have existed until someone decided to rescue it from the vaults.
