We talk to Josh Fairhurst from Limited Run Games / Mighty Rabbit Studios, about how making Vita physical releases work, what they’ve done so far, and the amazing year they have for us ahead.Ĭan you give us brief history of Mighty Rabbit Studios? “YIIK: A post-modern RPG”), it seems like there’s no better time than now to get in touch with the people behind some of the most exclusive physical releases of this console generation: Limited Run Games. In 2008, I worked as a game tester at Epic Games on Gears of War 2. It was hard work, awesome and fun, but really hard from a mental perspective.

That experience left me with a supreme respect for the people who craft AAA games but it taught me that maybe AAA wasn’t the right place for me.įor months I had no life outside of Gears of War. I wanted to make games but I wanted to make them on my own terms. In 2010, in my final semester of college, I decided to start Mighty Rabbit Studios with my friend, Nic Allen. We started work on Saturday Morning RPG and things grew from there! The game was initially released for iOS devices and it totally flopped financially. That game ended up being super successful and the rest is history.Īnd then, Limited Run was born! But how? And more importantly, why? Luckily, we were saved by our friends at Gun Media with some contract work – building Breach & Clear. I’ve been collecting games as far back as my memory goes – I still have all my childhood NES games. Collecting games is an important part of my life and it is a hobby that has gotten me through some tough times. I’ve always hated the rapidly approaching reality of an all-digital future. In many ways, Limited Run is a response to that. Mostly, Limited Run is just an extension of my passion for collecting games.

In the olden days it wasn’t possible to do small print runs of games.
